War & Military Movies
About War & Military Movies - Walmart.com
What kind of themes can I expect in a war movie?
Some early war movies were made to encourage enlistment and boost morale, so you might find some real content but also more entertaining and romantic themes. Modern war movies may depict battle scenes and deal with death, survival, the societal effects of war, the camaraderie between soldiers, overcoming challenges, and sacrificing oneself for the greater good.
Should I choose a war documentary or a war film?
A documentary will give you more of a historical perspective of a particular war or of war in general. Documentaries are nonfiction and may include actual footage and interviews. A war film, on the other hand, will follow a storyline in the setting of war, but it may or may not be historically accurate. War films are generally meant to be entertaining while a war documentary is more educational.
Is it ok for a veteran with PTSD to watch a war movie?
War movies can trigger a veteran's feelings of anger, regret, survivor's guilt, edginess, or other symptoms. They can also bring out feelings of gratitude, pride in living by the motto to fight so others don't have to, and a sense of belonging to a greater cause. A veteran with PTSD should be careful about their choices in watching war movies and be prepared to have flashbacks or negative feelings. It may be better to choose movies with lighter themes that are not related to war.
