It's quite bizarre. Barnes Wallis is sitting around with the aircrew drinking herbal tea discussing whether stopping the nazis is a denial of their human rights and self expression.
The crew has been digitally remasted so two of the gunners are in a mixed race marriage raising an adopted child, and one of the pilots, Omar, is actually blind, a nod to the fact that the wartime RAF is an equal opportunities employer.
Wait .., they've just decided, after a vote, the mission should be to drop a series of rainbow balloons and some leaflets over the Brandenburg Gate advocating LGBT rights, which will make Hitler awaken the inner beautiful human inside him. But one of the crews isn't happy and is organising a sit down protest in front of one of the pink Lancasters.
At this point I'm starting to believe this is NOT based on a true story.
Most confusing!

Has the dog been given a new millennium makeover, just in case his real name upsets someone, somewhere on Planet Earth and beyond?

Shoot I said Pink Lancaster, any film buff knows it is in black and white so maybe this wasn't a real plot summary.
3/5 must try harder   |

Film Trivia: Apparently Spielberg loved the attack scenes and used them as inspiration for the attack scene in star wars, and the guy who did the special effects on it also worked on special effects on Star Wars.

You mean george lucas.
And you're right. Huge inspiration from The Dambusters and 633 squadron. The racial epithets he originally gave C3P0 and R2D2 never made it past the censors though  |

What happened to the remake.?
All we heard was it was being filmed in Wales and they were changing the dogs name to Digger. This was at least 3 years ago. |
