Battle of Britain - Blu Ray

[Jim von Krieg]

Beginning of the movie is the Battle of France... M3 Halftracks are dressed up with side plates to simulate German Halftracks.. and an SP Gun of some sort... I've seen the boxy structure.. a post war US SP... but the gun was different.. maybe a British barrel on a post-war US chassis..

What I did enjoy was the vibrant contrasts of the green countryside and the blue sky... I didn't expect the movie to hold up so well in Blu-Ray.. Older movie... new technology... but it was fine...

After being in Iraq and Texas, you just don't experience that level of green shock... the green fields of Britain looked good... I spent some of my teen years in West Texas after living years in Hawaii... it was a shock... then as we moved again a few years later, just after passing Dallas, you enter East Texas and hit a wall of green... green shock...

the scene shooting up the Stukas was good... watching those gull wings fold as they blew up... woo hoo...

Regards,

Jim
