Stephen Holland is a Movie and TV lists writer with Screen Rant.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The powerful biographical war drama Megan Leavey highlighted important messages about conflict and companionship that have been explored in other incredible war movies. As a true story about a Military Police K9 handler, Megan Leavey starred Kate Mara as a soldier deployed to Iraq who developed an intense bond with a military working dog named Rex.
While Megan Leavey showcased the deep bond that was formed between a soldier and her companion, American Sniper was categorized by the toll PTSD can take on a soldier's personal life. This was a war movie that showcased the effects on those left behind and the neglect returned veterans in the United States often faced. A cautionary tale about the grim realities of war, American Sniper highlighted that, for those who must carry out murderous acts, peace should always be the goal.
Director Doug Liman Release Date May 12, 2017 Cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson , John Cena Runtime 88 Minutes The Wall was a war movie directed by Doug Liman that, like Megan Leavey, told the story of American soldiers serving terms in Iraq. However, instead of focusing on the K9 division and a soldier bonding with their dog, The Wall was about an American sniper and his spotting trapped by a lethal enemy sniper with just an unsteady wall between them.
While G.I. Jane was by no means a perfect film and was brought down by clunky dialogue and an often-absurd storyline, at its core, it was enjoyable fun that packed a relevant message about sexism in the military. Moore showcased intense commitment to her role as Lt. O’Neil and, in the process, Moore gave one of her very best performances. While it does not have a true story behind it like Megan Leavey, the messaging at the heart of G.I. Jane was very real.
5 A Private War A Private War showcased a female journalist's incredible determination Close The Military Police K9 handler Megan Leavey worked for the US Marine Corps in her fight against war and injustice while journalist Marie Colvin used her pen to highlight the horrors of war. The story of the American foreign affairs correspondent Colvin was told in A Private War, where she was depicted by Rosamund Pike in an exceptional performance that brought depth and nuance to her true story.
