Bizaardvark (2016)
A fun energetic programme.
This is a fresh look at high school kids in the era of new digital media. The videos they make, weather it be from Amelia or Paige/Frankie. Olivia Rodrigo is brilliant in her role, as are the characters Frankie, Amelia, Dirk, and Bernie. Though this isn't exactly Masterpiece theatre, it's fun, clean entertainment for all ages. It promotes moral behaviour, friendship, helping others, honesty and kindness. When the DVDs are released, I will buy them. Olivia is an up and coming star.
Objective, Burma! (1945)
American role in Burma
As a drama the film does a good job, in terms of historical accuracy one questions it. The fighting in Burma was not carried out by the USA, but by the army of the United Kingdom. Had this operation actually occurred, it would have been carried out by the SAS. English soldiers fought in Burma from day one until the very end of the war. Fighting in the harsh, humid jungles of Burma was no easy task for the English army who were not accustomed to the extreme climate, the Japanese soldiers had the advantage. By suggesting that the USA came in and saved the day, I.e., the Calvary rushing in at the last minute, we minimise the role of her Majesty's forces and those who fell in her service. Many Englishmen paid the ultimate sacrifice for their queen and country. Burma was a British sphere of operation, just as the Philippines were an American theatre of operations. Let's not minimise the role of others.
