Movie #3036 "Operation Mincemeat" (netflix)

 Movie #3036 "Operation Mincemeat" (Netflix) This movie was recommended to me before getting on the plane to Iceland, but when I saw the offerings, this was one of the few I hadn't seen, so I tried to plug in my earplugs, but of course I didn't have the right attachment so I decided to just read the whole film.  That was a weird experience.  I never heard the voices of the people, just read the subtitles.  It was still an interesting story of WWII.  I don't want to give too much away, but I can say that this ends up to be one very important cog in the whole Normandy operation and it deals with a strange scheme to make the Germans believe that we won't be landing in Normandy but somewhere else -- to put them off guard.  Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen and Kelly Macdonald are all good in their parts ---and they play important roles in this operation, that a lot of people don't probably know about.  I'd give it 3.5 because it was stretched a bit too much for me.
