So go watch Dunkirk. I say this because I think you might be surprised by how much it isn't a propaganda film compared to other war films. I think it's a pretty great showing of just how it is to be scared ****less of being in a war, though it clearly does have its corny war movie issues. War movies that don't have issues with corniness are rare if not nonexistent obviously.
