Chatter post

[trashmod]

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

WWII

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone have any WWII film or book recs to get a feel for the era Bucky & Steve come from?

I feel like everything I'll end up recommending is so ubiquitous that you may have already seen it, but - If you haven't seen Band of Brothers, immediately get thee to Band of Brothers. ASAP. The Pianist. Fury, whenever it comes out on DVD, if you want to feel really awful about the absolute horror of what Bucky probably saw in the war, and, you know, life in general. Saving Private Ryan, which is fairly bombastic, in true Spielberg style, but certainly worth seeing if you haven't already.

I feel like if you're looking for the horrors of war, it's also worth mentioning Atonement, which is set during WWI but it will give you an idea of the shit that the world was just fresh out of during the period Steve and Bucky would have been growing up in. (Disclaimer: The Horrors of War could be described as a favored genre of mine.)

Sorry if you've already seen these! I am sure that some folks who are far better scholars of WWII could probably make better recommendations.

P.S. I am a fool, and Atonement is definitely WWII.
