Excellent and worth reading      5 von 5 Punkten
At first I was skeptical about the book. It is obviously ghostwritten. However, the ghostwriter is talented, his style a synthesis of Hemingway and Mickey Spillane. And Audie Murphy has a great and heroic tale to tell. Murphy's war is a lot different than say Eisenhower's and Patton's. Murphy became a master at small unit infantry tactics. He was one of the men. Ike and Patton were masters of strategy and were not really part of the men. What Murphy's story also illuminates is it is often just pure chance whether a soldier survives a war. Two pals of his were wounded in the right spots. Another had his heart pierced by a small shell fragment. Another buddy trusted a group of Germans faking a surrender and received a chest full of German lead for his trouble. For all those who liked the fictional "Battle Cry", you will like this book.

Better Than The Movie!      5 von 5 Punkten
There is something compelling about the movie version To Hell And Back which I first viewed as a boy in the 1950s. Perhaps it was the fact that the star was the hero himself "replaying" some of his own wartime experiences. Over the years, the movie has appeared repeatedly on television, and almost routinely on the History Channel. I've watched it many times. The movie, however, pales by comparison to Murphy's actual Medal of Honor citation. Now that I finally have read his book, the citation itself seems to offer only a fraction of the story behind his guts,determination, and eventually the horrible memories he endured until his untimely death in a plane crash. It makes me shutter to think of myself as a combat veteran from Vietnam compared to what men like Audie Murphy had to endure for the duration of their tours in World War II. But, it also makes me realize that war for frontline troops has changed little from one generation to the next. This ought to be REQUIRED READING for everyone who send others to war!

horrific truth of combat.      5 von 5 Punkten
i never served in the military. after reading mr murphy's portrayal i am filled with the belief that i am luckier than mr. murphy ever was in combat. i also witnessed an A&E biography of audie murphy. I strongly suggest reading his book before viewing this program. i was left feeling morose. i aquired a deep and obeisant respect, not only for mr. murphy but, for all combat veterans.

The best and most graphic true story from WWII!      5 von 5 Punkten
I first read this book as a young man before entering high school. The book and Audie Murphy became a symbol of not only what one man can do, but what one man can stir in the friends and comrades around him.
Murphy's acts, thoughts, and efforts described in this book make him an absolute hero not only during the war, but should be displayed for generations to come as a man that believed in our country and the American Cause. It is the ideals that he fought for, and the American people that he believed in that make this book a must read for all types of people that would want to feel good about the United States of America and to be personaly uplifted and moved by the challenges that this soldier endured and overcame.

Reality of War hits harder than a .50 cal through the chest!      5 von 5 Punkten
"Lord of the Ring-Trilogy" by J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Teachings of Don Juan-Trilogy" by Carlos Casteneda", "Hammer of the Gods": the Led Zeppelin Story, "Wired", the Life and Times of John Belushi and this book are the only ones that you really don't want to put down until you're finished! Young Audie Murphy spent more than 200 days on the front lines of WWII and survived. The detailed and graphic account of individual and group battles will move you to experience emotions you didn't think you had. By the time he was 19, this scrawny Texas teenager became a man, a professional soldier and an American hero. Perhaps his greatest contribution to today's soldiers and leaders is recognition that the welfare and safety of his men came before his own comforts and needs. His leadership styles, personal ethics and moral examples are emulated and continued today with the Noncommissioned Officers of the SGT Audie Murphy Club. These excellent leaders and modern day warriors have all read this incredible tribute to a leader who cared for his soldiers, loved his country....and remained humble as the sharecropper's son he was. Word for word, this is as powerful as REAL war drama gets without actually experiencing it yourself. If you are a military leader in any branch of the service NCO or Officer or if you are a corporate head, read this book and learn how to care for your subordinates/workers. By the way, I've been a member of the SGT Audie Murphy Club since April 1994.

Bringt diesen Film endlich auf DVD raus!      5 von 5 Punkten
Noch immer ziert sich Disney, diesen Film auf DVD herauszubringen - in den USA ist nicht einmal die VHS erhältlich. Wieso? - Weil dieser Film angeblich rassistische Inhalte zeigt, da die schwarzen Darsteller in "Onkel Remus' Wunderland" in Skalverei leben, aber dennoch irgendwie sehr fröhlich sind. Ich würde es folgendermaßen ausdrücken: "Sie leben in Sklaverei, aber deshalb haben sie sich noch lange nicht aufgegeben und halten daran fest, dass vieles im Leben einfacher zu bewältigen ist, wenn man sich die Fähigkeit zu lachen bewahrt." Genau diese Botschaft steckt auch im berühmtesten Song aus diesem Film - "Zip-a-de-doh-da". Des weiteren sollte gsagt werden, dass keine einzige farbige Figur in diesem Film als unsympathisch oder verachtenswert porträtiert wird. Onkel Remus ist der augenzwinkernde Geschichtenerzähler voller Phanasie - dann gibt es da noch de scheinbar mürische Köchin des Hauses, die viel schimpft, aber dennoch nicht verbergen kann, dass sie ein Herz aus Gold hat - und der Sohn, farbig und dennoch der beste Freund des weißen Protagonisten. Was ist jetzt bitte so furchtbar schlimm an diesem Film, dass man ihn nicht zeigen darf? Als Kind habe ich ihn mehrmals angesehen und fand in keinst Weise, dass man mir einreden würde, Weiße seien mehr wert als andere (es sei anzumerken, dass der Part de Bösen einer Horde rüpelhafte weißer Jungs zufällt).
"Onkel Remus' Wunderland" ist ein zauberhafter Film, mit lustigen Gesichten rund um Meister Lampe, dem Fuchs Patzig und den etwas dummen Bär Brumm, die in Zeichentrickepisoden als Erzählungen des alten Remus' gezeigt werden. Der Rest des Filmes wird geschauspielert, und das wahrlich warmherzig.
Also bitte, stellt euch nicht so an - gebt dem Film, was er verdient: eine DVD-VERÖFFENTLICHUNG!

'Zip a Dee Doo Dah'      5 von 5 Punkten
I grew up with the film. However after a long time of not seeing it all I really remembered was the song and Br'er Rabbit. Of course I also had the book of Tales of Uncle Remus. Upon more recent viewing I was able to fill in the parts that I missed or forgot.
Johnny's father has something to do and leaves him and his mother with her mother. There Johnny gets to meet Uncle Remus; the same Uncle Remus that told tales to his mother. The tales are of different animals such as the clever Br'er Fox always out to have Br'er Rabbit for supper. As he spins the tail Johnny, and we, are mesmerized. The movie incorporates animated characters with real. I will not go into the story as you need to se it for your self.

Never Seen It. Nein Deutsch.      5 von 5 Punkten
I can't speak German thats why it says No German. I've never seen this movie so I'll give it five stars . They never released it in the USA because of the content that shows slaves being "Happy" and that is according to Disney inapropriate to modern viewers and I couldnt get an import from the UK. Because it is in PAL format which is not viewable in the USA and Canada.

Super Film für Jung und Alt      4 von 5 Punkten
Eigentlich ist dieser Film super und hält auch für Erwachsene eine moralische Message gegem Rassismus parat, was ich toll finde. Allerdings sollte sich jeder, der des Englischs mächtig ist, diesen Film 'mal in Englisch ansehen, da die Übersetzung, besonders der Akzente, nicht 100%ig gelingen kann.
