after watch the wind of war and i look forward to war and remembrance . i find the sequel far more depressing and less entertain than the original . perhaps that be it intent but it be difficult for the average viewer to sit through so many hour of endless anguish . not for the faint hearted . that have be say and the acting be excellent and far superior to the original . i could not see the wise crack ali mcgraw play the holocaust scene in the camp . jane seymour be superb and it be probably the fine thing she have ever do . john gielgud demonstrate why he be one of the foremost actor of his century . mitchum be effective in serious scene involve war and politics but unconvincing and without passion in his scene with the very desirable victoria tennant . i think the portrayal of hitler and a in the original be a characterture and clownish and difficult to take seriously . hardy krueger be more realistic a rommel and a pleasant contrast to all the stereotypical german villain . while i recognize it be difficult to accurately portray military event of wwii in the 1980 and some obvious inaccuracy be evident to any wwii veteran or history buff . a scene of roosevelt aboard the cruiser baltimore be obviously film on a battleship . a a former submariner and i find the interior submarine scene accurate and realistic . however and the exterior scene show depth charge repeatedly explode within foot of the submarine would have be unsurvivable . the final surface engagement between bryan submarine and a japanese destroyer be totally ludicrous . no attempt be make to fire any torpedo at the approach destroyer and choose to exchange broadside under those circumstance would have be suicidal . the submarine do more damage with one shot from it deck gun than the destroyer be able to do with far more firepower . a the submarine blithely sail away from the burn destroyer and it strain credulity a it ignore the considerable talent and élan demonstrate by the japanese navy throughout the war . the death of bryan former skipper be an accurate portrayal of an actual incident a be the machine gunning of japanese survivor which do occur during the war . war and remembrance might be an informative narrative for a history student unfamiliar with that era and but it be not for the squeamish seek television entertainment .
