SD.Net as WWII Film

OK, just occurred to me. WWII films are infamous for having characters as shorthands for certain sterotypes, even the modern ones have that: Saving private Ryan: The quiet and competent officer, the Italian Bruiser, streetsmart Jewish kid from NY, etc. If you watch Band of Brothers you get this to some extent as well.

So say we Netizens are transported into a WWII film, who would we be? Anyone deserve to be on the Nazi side? *coughShepcough*

I'd join Shep just because the bad guys' uniforms and weapons are cooler.

And then you get to lose.

I need to watch some WWII movies before I answer that. *Heads to the library.*

I'm not sure what I'd be. I'd definately not be on the battle front. Maybe some mother who hides her children from the Germans or the Russians.

Then agian, there's always the option of playing the Russian Red Army soldier. That way I could be both the bad guy and win.

I don't know of any stereotypes I fit, except perhaps the middle class white guy who is academically intelligent and mechanically adept, but is lacking in real world experience.

I'd probably be a soldier unhappy about the situation i'm in and get killed at some point, the main characters trying to get a medikit to me. Either that or do my famous appearing like i'm doing something, where i'm actually just hiding out of sight behind a tank or using my buddies as human shields.

Well, I'd be the honourable heer officer who decries those filthy bastards in the Party and Allegimine-SS.

Companion Cube · Post by **Companion Cube** » 2003-12-10 04:36pm

I'd probably be one of the Russian conscripts who get massacred by their officers for retreating...

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-12-10 04:38pm

I would be the first guy killed. So I wouldn't really have time to develop much of a personality.

Laird · Post by **Laird** » 2003-12-10 04:41pm

I'd be a german MG-42 gunner.

Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi · Post by **Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi** » 2003-12-10 04:42pm

I'd probably be the scrawny nervous guy that either gets shot in the first five minutes, or somehow survives for the whole movie when everyone watching wants me killed, like Jar Jar Binks or something.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2003-12-10 04:53pm

I'd be the guy that tries to start a rebellion among my division, only to clamped down on by the MO--er, superiors and sent to the front. But I'd probably live. Maybe have a leg blown off or something.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2003-12-10 04:56pm

I'd be the war correspondant who is reluctantly forced to fight.

Montcalm · Post by **Montcalm** » 2003-12-10 04:57pm

I would be the liaison between the"French Resistance" and the Allied Forces.

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2003-12-10 04:58pm

I would be that writer fella that spends most of the movie observing others doing their thing (Think Charlie Sheen from platoon) and lamenting the loss of what I used to be like before the horrors of war.

LOL!

As for me, I'd probably be a medic, helping people on the frontlines or something. Maybe get a sappy, melodramatic death (ooh I hope I hope!) or a lover who dies in my arms on a makeshift hospital bed or something?

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2003-12-10 05:06pm

i'd be either the godless commie traitor, or that guy that rides the bomb as it's being dropped out of the airplane.

I'm scottish, so there isnt really much more to be said.....

Warspite · Post by **Warspite** » 2003-12-10 05:28pm

I would be the young French girl, mother of two children, her husband shot by the Gestapo while helping two brave British officers, that offers food and shelter to the young, brave, americans that liberated her village from those german pigs.

(Hummm, I've been watching too many period movies...)

SecondStorm · Post by **SecondStorm** » 2003-12-10 05:30pm

The combat medic. Stuffing guts back into abdomens or administering morphine to wounded soldiers screaming in pain.

Enigma · Post by **Enigma** » 2003-12-10 05:44pm

I'd be the guy that no-one can turn their backs to, because they'd be afraid to be stickybombed. I'd be loaded with all types of explosives and carry lots of sharp instruments to use on injured soldiers - on both sides. MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

You'd be the one with blue and white facepaint in full length battle gown using claymores in a gunfight?

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2003-12-10 05:51pm

Claymores?!?!? They're a little big to be using two at once, aren't they?
