Sergeant York

1941 American propaganda

Rating: 16/20 (Dylan: 11/20)

Plot: All Alvin York wants is a piece of bottom land and a piece of love interest Gracie's bottom. Living in Tennessee with his mother (they don't even have telephones or the Internet there!), he matures from an uneducated hillybilly troublemaker into an uneducated hillybilly pacifist. But the Great War has broken out, and it's the wrong time to be a conscientious objector. Torn between his duty to his country and his devotion to God, York trains and eventually heads off the France so that he can become Forrest Gump. God bless America!

This is a very attractive movie and Gary Cooper is great in it, but it does pour it on pretty thickly. Good script though.
