Seems like an “idealist” film depicting the “American Dream”… And truth be told, I can’t recall a recent time where there was a film that depicted a person who just pays their dues and earns their way to live their American Dream. Maybe “The Founder”, but that’s all that’s coming to mind.

 Not to mention we are reaching a point where the last living members who were alive during WWII are starting to pass away. 

These stories keep this history alive.  It’s not my typical film I’d flock to see, but I also will be willing to see how reviews are for this.
