ANNA FRANCO (who is actually my cousin-in-law, or something like that) has some thoughts on how war movies need to change now that we’re actually, you know, at war:

What if Rick (Humphrey Bogart) in Casablanca started complaining that the resistance members were too hard on the Nazis? What if Virgil Hilts (Steve McQueen) in The Great Escape pondered, as he race[d] toward the Swiss border, whether he should reconsider the legitimacy of the Third Reich’s negative feelings towards the U.S.?

The whole obligatory-moral-ambiguity schtick needs to go, she says. We’re better than them, and we should say so plainly.
