Good subject matter is fine. . . The main melody is disgusting
It's bad because its main theme is too strong and it completely ignores the textual research and demeans the enemy
. I really don't know how this film dares to claim to be based on real events. .
About the research: There are few guns, the only bright spot is the Shaosha light machine gun and the Hachkes heavy machine gun. . . The result and together gave 4 shots. . . Shaosha is estimated that it is not a prop gun, so it cannot be fired. . . Too disappointed that the... -

After watching it, I felt it was good, and after I wanted to know, I checked the protagonist in the film: Major Whittlesey, whose birth and growth were omitted, after being rescued from the encirclement on October 7, 1918, as follows:
Promoted from major to lieutenant colonel;
10.29 Repatriated to the United States;
12.5 Honorably discharged according to Special Orders No. 259;
12.6 Received the Medal of Honor (the highest medal in the U.S. Army, two of his subordinates...

Maj. Whittlesey: Lieutenant Leak, fine officer, from Texas...
Capt. McMurtry: We lost over 60 men to our own fire today. We heave less then 200 able troops left. I don't know how they keep doing it.
Maj. Whittlesey: Don't sell them short, Captain. Two days ago we had a Chinese working our field-phone, an American-Indian for a runner; they're both dead now but that's not the point. These Italians, Irish, Jews, and Poles, they'd never hire me as an attorney; we wouldn't be seen at the same events. But we will never, in our lives, enjoy the company of finer soldiers or better men then we do tonight.
Capt. McMurtry: Major, I was with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. And I have never served with a finer officer then you. Do you know that your men would do anything, go anywhere for you?
Maj. Whittlesey: Thank you, George.

[last lines]
Gen. Robert Alexander: Major Whittlesey, there's going to be promotions and commondations for everybody! No wonder our airplanes couldn't find this place.
Lipasti: Well... your artillery certainly found it, General.
Gen. Robert Alexander: [to Whittlesey] Where's the rest of your battallion?
Maj. Whittlesey: [Whittlesee hands the General the collection of dog-tags] Sgt. Gaedeke we couldn't find enough to bury. Lt. Schenck's platoon is somewhere out there. I sent him to link with the French you said were on our flank, General.
Gen. Robert Alexander: [pulls Whittlesey aside] These are acceptable losses...
Maj. Whittlesey: Not to me, sir.
Gen. Robert Alexander: I understand your feelings for your men.
Maj. Whittlesey: You said our flanks were supported and you ordered my men to attack. You said supply would catch up to us... which it did not! Is that acceptable to you?
Gen. Robert Alexander: Yes, that's acceptable to me. We were able to break through the German line because you held on here... because you held on here like a thorn in their belly. Major, you did an incredible job out here, but you had 600 men to worry about and I had 20,000 sent into action. I have to live with that...
[pause]
Gen. Robert Alexander: I sent for trucks to bring your men back. They've been through hell.
Maj. Whittlesey: You'll never know what they've been through, or what they can and can't do. They're better then you, General. They're better then me, they always are.
Gen. Robert Alexander: Let me take you and your officers back in my staff car.
Maj. Whittlesey: That's not acceptable, Sir. I'll stay with my men.
Gen. Robert Alexander: I understand.
Maj. Whittlesey: [the General salutes and Whittlesey just turns away] Men, we're moving out!

Maj. Prinz: [speaking German; subtitled] We learned at Chateau-Thierry and Belleau Wood that these Americans are unpredictable. They don't retreat when they're supposed to.
Gen. von Sybel: [in German] How inconsiderate of them, Major.
