| A Walk in the Sun | comment |
A Walk in the Sun (1945) is a World War II drama, following a platoon landing in Italy with their commanding lieutenant dead on arrival. Their one objective is to reach a farm house located seven miles away. During the walk, the men are faced with the realities of war: death, fighting, and the long, long periods of waiting for something to happen.The film was directed by Lewis Milestone, famous for his other war film, All Quiet on the Western Front. This film stars Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, George Tyne, John Ireland, and Sterling Holloway.This film was chosen by the National Film Registry in 2016, which seeks films that are "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant." | |

Conditioned to Accept Horror: Most in the platoon are saddened by the death of their fellow soldiers, but generally show indifference, showing how broken they've become. | |

Crapsack World: It’s World War II, what did you expect? Specifically, losing your friends and waiting around for action are the worst of all. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran | |
| A Walk in the Sun / int_7a143509 | comment |
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Although not a veteran quite yet, the commanding Sgt. Porter goes into PTSD mode when he’s seen one too many battles. He just completely breaks down into uncontrollable sobs. That's when Sgt. Tyne has to command the troops. It's a very touching moment as well since the men don't get angry at Porter; they understand he's gone through a lot. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| A Walk in the Sun / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse??: The mounted patrol halfway through the movie. A motorcycle and a jeep pull up and offer to do some recon on the farmhouse but never come back. Sergeant Porter insists something happened to them, and blaming himself for their deaths likely contributed to his mental breakdown, but it is never expanded upon. Considering the armored vehicles on the road, and the Weapons at the farmhouse, it is likely he was right and they were killed. | |

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: The whole film is built on this. There’s a lot of talking and waiting, and then surprising moments of action, being rather realistic in its portrayal of war. | |

You Are in Command Now | |
| A Walk in the Sun / int_ed2bbf8a | comment |
You Are in Command Now: Deconstructed and then reconstructed. The platoon keeps losing commanders which puts in serious doubt whether the soldiers can fulfill their mission. The lieutenant and platoon sergeant are killed early on and the next senior sergeant is wounded soon after which leaves the shaky Sgt. Porter in command. His inexperience gets some of the men killed and he gets progressively worse with Sgt. Tyne having to step in to compensate for Porter's poor decisions. The pressure finally gets too much and Porter has a nervous breakdown that leaves Thyne in command. By the end it looks like Thyne will also break but he has the good sense to consult with the other NCOs and together they come up with a plan that will hopefully let them complete their mission without getting everyone killed. | |
