“Spielberg selects notes like a jazz master soloing. Spielberg’s stripping the movies of Hollywood’s overwrought style and anti-war agitprop—his humanistic judiciousness—has the contrary effect of strengthening the repellent horror and making the story’s points about the many faces of courage. Just as he deployed contrasting iconographic resonance of the tireless American Indiana Jones attacking a Panzer headlong on horseback—the cowboy in the fedora against Nazis in helmets—Spielberg showing a team of horses forced to literally break their hearts to pull gargantuan field artillery up a hill ranks among the most persuasive and tragic images in anti-war movie memory.”

“When they escort you into the theater, you definitely feel like you’re in a very comfy, intimate space. But it doesn’t have cup holders, which made me nervous because I was afraid of spilling my drink. I didn’t see the president take any popcorn, which I jokingly called ‘political popcorn’ because it had just the right amount of salt and butter. It was some of the best popcorn I’ve ever tasted… The theater isn’t set up that well. The sound could be better. The projector needs to be upgraded. I actually ran to the bathroom because I drank too much during the movie, and by the time I got back, the president had left for another engagement.”
~ Anthony Hemingway on his visit to the White House cinema
