How did the movie handle his Christianity? Was it mentioned at all, or was it an integral part of the film?

Hi Yorkie. The movie really didn't mention it. Except for 1 scene in the raft, where he prays to God to save him, says he'll dedicate his life to God. The closing scene had a slide about Louis making good on his promise to serve God (after recovering from PTSD), and about forgiveness.

Thanks, MJ.

We saw the movie last week. I have not read the book yet, and I imagine it would be better as they so often are. And, I usually need some aspect of women in a book/movie of which this had none (other than his mother) to hold my interest. Disclaimer: I can have the attention span of a 3-year old in a movie theatre.

But overall we felt it was a good movie and it really sparked a conversation surrounding the bravery of young men and women who have served this country to ensure our freedom. We are forever grateful.
