Today we have
Yvonne Navarro. Not only is she the Bram Stoker-winning author of more than 22 novels, but she is a fabulous artist, a rescuer of Great Danes and old Army sergeants, and a super human bean.
1. What’s your favorite military movie, book or television show?
It's a tie between the movies Battleship and Battle: Los Angeles.
2. Why is it your favorite? Here’s where you can ramble a bit.
It's not so hard to figure out-- sit with me through one of them and I'll bet you feel the red-blooded American in me before I even get vocal about rooting for the U.S. against the aliens... and I *DO* get vocal. It's the soldiers of my country, beaten to its knees but never giving up against all odds, determined to do anything and everything to keep our freedom and save our people even when everything we do and are seems lost. It's putting ourselves last in the face of overwhelming odds and doing what's right even when it might mean the ultimate sacrifice.
3. What themes are overused? And is it overused, or just truthful observation?
Some people might think that touch of romance is passe, (accent there?) but I do, indeed, think its truthful observation. It gives those who have little to fight for the added impetus to keep going, the drive to win so that they can be with those they love once more. I've said it about writing, and I believe the same thing in a good movie, no matter the genre: If your character doesn't or can't care about someone other than himself, why should you care about him?
