If the intent were to focus on the setting, then they'd just make a movie about any group or many groups.
Personally, they should have done this with an all white cast and a black officer to really drive home the point. Morgan Freeman as the Commanding Officer, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as the NCO's, then we could have women play all the parts of the privates. Rosie O'Donnel as the Brooklyn native, Amy Schumer from California, Ashley Judd as the farm girl.

It would be great. We could finally really understand the unfairness of life in the Army in 1917.

Just heard Monday about the Army trying to boot out a soldier for referring to a soldier as "she," when the soldier identifies as, "he."

It's not a documentary, is it?

Supposed to be based on a comic that's based on an actual event.

Think 300.

Have you read the comic? Why think 300?

300 because it's a movie based on a comic based on an event. that's all.

What makes you think that's a typical non superhero comic?

I haven't given any opinions on comics.

You asked if it was a documentary. I assumed you were asking in regards to accuracy. I said think 300, as in, it's based on actual events, but also on a comic, so the accuracy probably won't be spot on.
