Attack! The Battle for New Britain is one of those war documentaries that really pulls you in with its raw, almost gritty portrayal of the Pacific theatre. Frank Capra, known for his more polished narrative style, turned to actual footage here, and it shows. The pacing feels real—no frills, just the soldiers in the thick of it. You get a solid sense of the challenges they faced, not just from the enemy, but from the unforgiving jungle itself. The footage of the landings at Arawe Beach is striking and almost haunting at times. It's not about glorifying war but rather showing the stark realities and dangers. Definitely gives you a different perspective on the conflict, especially with those Japanese pill-boxes in full view. Quite a distinctive piece for anyone interested in WWII.
