		Born in 1942 as Bataan Nitollano to a Filipino father and an African American mother, Joe Bataan was raised in Spanish Harlem for most of his youth.
		Bataan says he and his young cohort "caused problems with the big mambo [artists] at the time because we were taking their space.
		Bataan attributes that end to his recording career as a combination of several factors, not the least of which was a general weariness with the pressures of the music industry but also a desire to spend more time with his wife and young children.

		Bataan was made at MGM, and the principal setting, a jungle clearing overlooking a strategic bridge, stinks of the soundstage.
		The fate of the squadron is announced early on in the movie; among the opening credits is a title card telling us that the movie is "Reverently dedicated to the fallen dead." The movie opens with Allied force retreating to Corregidor as a result of an overwhelming landing of Japanese forces in January, 1942.
		As wartime propaganda, "Bataan" is brilliant--watching it, you may be filled with a seething hostility toward the Japanese that hasn't been felt since Reagan's 1980s.

		In that respect, "Bataan" is again remarkable, as the violence is graphic and shocking, particularly for the period in which the film was made.

		The circumstances on Bataan were bleak, and this film does an excellent job describing those circumstances, even though it was filmed during the war on a soundstage and before an accurate analysis of the Battle could be made.
		This movie occasionally decides to have some dramatic combat scenes in it, but they are usually cover for a hideous plot to get the girl back on screen.
		The old war movie Battle of the Bulge is a big steaming pile of crap as far as history goes, but this is actually worse.

	Back to Bataan Movie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		War movies can be a tricky recipe to pull off because they've been done so often and fall into cliches sooo easily.
		This film is totally unselfconscious in how it deals with the war, in one scene it features real Bataan POWs marching in a parade and introduces them documentary style with a narrator, and it hired Filipino extras and actors for important roles.
		It is certainly not the greatest movie but it shows you a kind of movies that has been shot in the 40's and the 50's.

		The movie is an obvious recruiting effort to gin up patriotism on the home front and spur enlistments but Bataan really was a horrible chapter in the history of the United States.
		The Bataan story and cast presented here was fictional, but only in the sense that it gave a general idea of the living hell these troops were subjected to and perished under.
		The movie was shot on a soundstage that stood in for the Philippine jungle and all activity took place in that one set, the site of the ravine where the bridge stood.

	The Movie Chicks - Review - The Great Raid
		In the love story (that seems to be required in any movie with a mostly male cast), Margaret (Connie Nielsen) runs the underground that smuggles food and medicine into the camp - she and Gibson are in love, but have never had a chance to do anything about it.
		The movie takes a long time building up to the raid - trying to tell too many stories, instead of focusing on one or two.
		This is like an old-fashioned war movie, but it's lacking the drama it should have for such a momentous occasion.

	Bataan
		The movie begins with the Allied forces already having been pushed half way down the Bataan Peninsula.
		You figure that all the guys are going to be killed and all you can hope for is that they take a lot of Japanese soldiers with them.
		More than 15,000 American and 60,000 Filipino prisoners of war were forced into the infamous Bataan Death March, a week-long journey of about 160 kilometers to the north to prison camp Camp O'Donnell in the Nueva Ecija province.

		Most notably, "Bataan" stands out for perhaps the best and most violent hand-to-hand combat footage ever filmed, certainly the best of its era.
		Also, and often neglected in reviews, is that "Bataan" featured a fully INTEGRATED Army: a Jew, a fl, an Hispanic, a Filipino, and so on.
		"Bataan" could not even be shown in parts of the South in the 1940's due to this.

	Bataan DVD
		The one face-to-face fight towards the end of the movie, when Japanese soldiers camouflaged to look like brush and bushes begin to move toward the remaining men, and the men respond first with machine guns and then with bayonets, was a relief.
		Bataan may be dated, but if you enjoy older war movies you might like this one.
		Filmed in 24 countries and set to an ever-changing global soundtrack, the movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory.

		But the redeeming aspect of this latest Bataan war genre, which is actually a redux of the spectacular rescue of 500 Americans from the Japanese atrocities inside a Cabanatuan prisoner-of-war camp, has finally paid tribute to the talents of Filipino actors who gave justice to the heroic roles of Filipinos during World War II.

		Bataan keeps going as long as a man is left, yep, the volunteers never retreat.
		This movie was obviously designed to get people to sign up for the service but it was done with tact and respect and earns four stars as a fine piece of entertainment.
		The second movie stars John Wayne, who I usually like, but the treatment is heavy handed and makes the Filipinos out to be less than full participants in their fight for independence.

		The way the Bataan and other veterans participated in the event; the numerous activities surrounding the event such as the historical seminar, movie, meeting the Bataan veterans; the march itself.

		While the defenders were hopelessly overmatched, the movie managed to make the odds seem even longer.
		From the very first scene, this movie reeks of defeat, with a blinded, retreating soldier dying a horrible death in an air raid.
		To a large degree this movie consists of a series of scenes of men dying in increasingly brutal, hand-to-hand ways.

	Nurses on Bataan
		The Donna Reed character is a nurse on Bataan.
		The movie kind of leads you to believe that she was probably captured.
		On April 8, 1942, the 51 nurses on Bataan were evacuated to Corregidor as the Japanese were within several hundred yards of overrunning the hospitals.

		Anyway, the POWs in the movie are survivors of the Bataan Death March where many American and Filipino soldiers were killed and died from the roughness.
		Earlier in the movie, they showed the actual plan of action that they would take and to see it all completed was fun to watch from a general tactical standpoint even though it wasn’t at all the most complex, but it obviously wasn’t meant to be that by the filmmakers.
		Movies rarely scare me or leave any real lasting impression of doom or loss (except maybe documentaries exposing the injustices of our government now and throughout history), but zombie movies have a real sense of doom.

		The Call Bureau Cast Service lists Lynne Carver and Dorothy Morris as "Nurses", but they were not identifiable in the movie, although one nurse is seen from the rear and another in long-shot.
		For a war movie, this was a bit unusual in that almost the whole film took part in one place.
		Taylor was the best in this movie "army" and Walker was the annoying character, playing an extremely young and generally stupid Navy guy (don't ask) who never stopped talking in this irritating voice.

	Saving The Great Raid
		More than 500 American survivors of the Bataan Death March languish at the Cabanatuan prison camp, and the Japanese plan to exterminate them, rather than allow them to survive and bear witness to Japanese war crimes.
		This exceptional movie tells the stories of the warriors who went to save the captives, the prisoners who endured unspeakable cruelty, and the Filipino resistance that came to the aid of both.
		The generation that fought to liberate the Philippines is passing away, but those who survive and the best of their children and grandchildren are appreciating the movie.

		War movies from the 40s and early 50s are a little corny, very sentimental and quite glorious.
		The Sands of Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal Diary, Wake Island and Bataan are four films that jump to mind that represent this era in War Film history for me. Certainly the movies of the 60s like The Bridge on the River Kwai (a 1957 film) though gritty, were more artsy.
		Yes these movies were real to the little boy that I was when I watched and rewatched them on that snowy fl and white TV screen, some time before now.

		The story of a small group of soldiers fighting and dying to buy time for MacArthur to regroup around Bataan was, I suspect, a powerful movie when it came out in 1943.
		It's early 1942 in the Philippines and Sergeant Bill Dane (Robert Taylor) with a mixed bag of semi-volunteers are given the assignment of blowing up a bridge which would otherwise be a primary crossing point for the invading Japanese army as it races south.

	The Great Raid reviewed by Movies for Guys
		Although it is difficult to spoil a movie based on fact it is not how we do business and since I encourage everyone to see this movie I will close the review portion.
		Thanks to stories from my Grandfather who was in the Philippines during this time and the documentaries on PBS and the History Channel, I will always remember his and their sacrifice to provide the blanket of freedom we lay beneath each day.
		The best line in the movie is a quote that defined the dedication of the men and women from that era; Never before have so many given so much, and complained so little.

		In one of the tersest, most exciting World War II dramas made during that war, Bataan (1943) was MGM's answer to Paramount's hugely successful Wake Island in 1942.
		If there is a drawback, it's the dated anti-Japanese propaganda, which wasn't uncommon in Hollywood movies during the war, and Bataan is not the worst of its type.

		Or perhaps not so oddly: for as the matter-of-fact title implies, the film commemorates a period, from the eve of Pearl Harbor up to the impending fall of Bataan, when the Japanese conquest of the Pacific was in full cry and U.S. forces were fighting a desperate holding action.
		Although stirring movies had been made about these early days (Wake Island, Bataan, Air Force), they were gung ho in their resolve to see the tables turned.
