Kid, you are about the 1,000th kid to come here and ask this question. We know what the real motive is here. OK…your essay is for contest where you could win up to $ 10,000.00. Hope your intentions are not here asking for what amounts to us doing the essay for you.
See Patriot’s Pen essay contest at:
http://www.vfw.org/index.cfm?fa=cmty.lev…
This contest is about what YOU feel in honoring military heros…not about what we feel. If you can’t come up with reasons on your own, then you don’t deserve to win the contest.
Ugh, I can’t wait until this Patriot’s Pen contest is over. Am tired of seeing this question posted every freakin day.

View related film screeningsEvery year there are films that resonate far beyond a theatrical release—if they manage to find their way to a commercial screen at all—or film festival appearance. Their significance can be attributed to a variety of factors, from structure to subject matter to language, but these films are united in their lasting impact on the cinematic art form. For this recurring series, the Department of Film combs through major studio releases and the top film festivals in the world, selecting influential, innovative films made in the past 12 months that we believe will stand the test of time. Whether bound for awards glory or destined to become a cult classic, each of these films is a contender for lasting historical significance, and any true cinephile will want to catch them on the big screen.Organized by the Department of Film.
The exhibition is supported by BNP Paribas.

Two Years at Sea
2011. Great Britain. Directed by Ben Rivers. Winner of the critics’ prize at the Venice Film Festival, a highlight of the New York and Toronto film festivals, and topping many best-of-the-year lists, Two Years at Seaconfirms British filmmaker and installation artist Ben Rivers as a considerable new talent. Employing seemingly obsolete handcrafted and hand-processed film techniques, including 16mm CinemaScope, Rivers alludes to and critiques a tradition of poetic ethnography that dates back to the 1930s and 1940s. The paradox of his first feature-length film is its portrait of a man who might conventionally be regarded as marginal or eccentric, yet who nonetheless seems more at home in his landscape—the wilds of Scotland—than we are in our own. As Rivers writes, “A man called Jake lives in the middle of the forest. He goes for walks in whatever the weather, and takes naps in the misty fields and woods. He builds a raft to spend time sitting in a loch. He sleeps in a caravan that floats up a tree. He is seen in all seasons, surviving frugally, passing the time with strange projects, living the radical dream he had as a younger man, a dream he spent two years working at sea to realize. I made a short film about Jake five years ago, and as time has passed and other films have been made, I have had a continual feeling that I should go back—to make another film where I, and then the audience, can spend more time hanging around Jake’s place in the forest. I want the film to embrace the different perception of time that Jake and his environment have, which is much more patient and relaxed than my own urban living. The film will have at its core the relationship between a person and the place they have chosen to live out their life, and the deep connection there is between them.” 86 min.

Young Adult
2011. USA. Directed by Jason Reitman. Screenplay by Diablo Cody. With Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson. The promotional tag line for Reitman’s Young Adult is, “Everyone gets old. Not everyone grows up.” It’s difficult to summarize this biting, acidic character study more succinctly than that. Theron plays Mavis Gary, a young-adult book series ghostwriter (think Sweet Valley High) who returns to her hometown of Mercury, Minnesota, in a severely misguided attempt to win back her high school boyfriend, Buddy, a happily married new father. There is not one ounce of vanity in Theron’s outstanding performance, as she compulsively pulls hair from her scalp, downs copious amounts of booze, and is generally awful to everyone in Mercury except Buddy and, occasionally, Matt Freehauf (Oswalt, in a breakout performance), a crippled former classmate with a sad history. Cody’s script is lean, mean, and cynical, and in Theron, Reitman has found the perfect performer to bring it to life. Print courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

Pina
2011. Germany/France/Great Britain. Directed by Wim Wenders. “Shot in 3-D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, this feature-length dance film portrays the exhilarating and inimitable art of the great German choreographer who died in the summer of 2009. Inviting the viewer on a sensual, visually stunning journey of discovery into a new dimension right onto the stage of the legendary ensemble, the film also accompanies the dancers beyond the theatre, into the city and the surrounding industrial landscape of Wuppertal—the place that was the home and centre of Pina Bausch’s creative life for more than 35 years” (Berlin Film Festival).

Return
2011. USA. Directed by Liza Johnson. Johnson’s stunning feature debut recasts the familiar narrative of a soldier coming home from war as an ode to a woman’s journey of self-discovery and her attempts to fit into the life she thought she was fighting for. As the central figure, Kelli, actor Linda Cardellini is a revelation—a hero without a grand story to tell, a mother without a connection to her children, a wife who doesn’t recognize the love her husband (a sweet, vulnerable Michael Shannon) is so ready to give her. This is a story of and for our time, luminously shot and honestly told. Print courtesy of Required Viewing.

Question by GeneBean: How are World War 2 veterans from the German (nazi) army treated in Germany?
I am assuming there are lots of veterans of World Struggle 2 from Germany which might be still alive. There are such a lot of in the US, and they are all known as heroes by us. What do the German individuals consider their very own veterans from the same warfare? Are they treated as heroes or are they not even acknowledged as a result of they have been on the losing facet (and did many evil issues)?
I know they most likely aren’t celebrated as we do here (with all veterans, not just WW2), but are they celebrated or acknowledged at all? Do Germans need to neglect about them and what they did?
Best answer:
Answer by zach88
often officers arent seemed upon highly because of their involvement in the nazi’s evil acts but most low ranking troopers from WW2 are viewed as having fought for his or her country and not for hitler. its not as celebrated to be a WW2 veteran there as it is here and mostly they dont need to speak about combating for the nazis, however veterans are nonetheless respected.
