Although it may feel a little slow at times, here is why I believe this is a film that's pretty much for everyone. With that said, Only the Brave is a fantastic presentation of these events and the men who risked their lives on a daily basis. So, it's really a toss-up when going into a film like this. Of that half, I'd say only about half of those stories are done with complete justice and care. Perhaps some of the flashbacks could have been suppressed, but all in all the script is well constructed and the acting very convincing and many times very moving.True stories are the one thing throughout the film industry that can't be known as being a dime a dozen because it seems as though almost half of the films nowadays are based on true events. For both groups you try to connect with some unreachable element which you call god with different names and which reassures you and gives you courage. Loss of life, grief of your companions on the battlefield and in the families and friends far away. The problem is that the bullet which kills you doesn't care if you're white, black or your skin yellow. In the Army those who nevertheless volunteered to join the allied forces, were like their fellow black compatriots, subject to racist behavior of the white soldiers. The USA after the shock of Pearl Harbor took measures totally inexcusable against citizens born in the country and treated like prisoners of war.

From my perspective as a French citizen this movie deals from the first image to the last about tolerance, respect of the one who is different from you. But is it really the point the script writer and the director wanted to stress out? My answer is no.

The easy way to look at this movie is to see the courage and determination of those guys to save the Texas battalion from complete destruction. I've read the negative reviews and the conclusion I draw from them is that their authors obviously refuse to look at the real purpose of the script.
