Director Ari Taub set out to make a highly involved WWII movie, an epic undertaking. Producer Curtis Mattikow describes, "It is absolutely 100 percent accurate, more so than Saving Private Ryan... very little is reproduced. While we had some grandiose battles, we realized it was far more important to focus on their humanity" said Mattikow. "Not trying to impress everybody with a lot of explosions." The Fallen" provocatively portrays the differences in values, morals and patriotism between the cu
ltures while exploring the human similarities found in soldiers from all sides. Capturing the feeling of an old newsreel, "The Fallen" exposes the horror and humanity of war while serving as a powerful reminder of current military conflict in Iraq. |
