I’ve always been interested in history, especially World War Two. I’ve only heard about the new movie Pressure from previews in the theater until yesterday when a youtube movie critic reviewed it, and stated it was the perfect movie to take your Dad to. Sadly, my Dad is in another State.
Pressure is the true story of the days before the Allied invasion of France on the beaches of Normandy, with the goal of being able to defeat the Nazi’s. General Eisenhower doesn’t want to miss a thing, with so many young lives on the line, and that includes any severe weather.
This film is fantastic, from great performances ( Brendan Fraser as General Eisenhower in particular) all around, an interesting perspective on the days/hours leading up to D-Day, with an emotion punch that had me tearing up with pride thinking about the men on the beach that day. I can’t recommend it enough.
