Rescue Dawn

On Tuesday, August, 28, 2007, I went to see the movie Rescue Dawn, featuring Christian Bale.

The story is based on the real-life tale of Dieter Dengler (of course, not all real), who was on a classified mission during the Vietnam War. His plane was shot down however, and he was taken as a prisoner. In the film, they show that Dengler was the mastermind who formulated an escape plan, and then his struggle in the woods.

Of course, many events were fictionalized for this film, so you have to see this film for the value of a drama.

I did a bit of research on Dieter Dengler after seeing the movie, and stumbled across the site: www.rescuedawnthetruth.com

It is interesting to read about what really happened after seeing a relatively poorly adapted film. Though I believe Christian Bale did a great job as an actor in this movie.
