IF we are interested in the re-make versus original Dambusters then one thing that the new film could do better is accents and language (swearing).
The lack of accuracy in portraying the wartime's various "upper" (NOT just restricted to public schoolboys) and regional accents is very common nowadays, but the classic film didn't do a very good job on regional accents either. I dread what is going to be produced.
Where the classic fell down was in "bad language". Now I am very well aware that the normal WW2 soldier, sailor or airman didn't swear as much OR AS PUBLICALLY as a modern teenager, but they did actually swear as they led stressful lives.
(A bit off topic, I wish he had decided to do a film of Len Deighton's "Bomber" or some other film which gave an accurate view of the sheer grind and effort of the bomber war. But good luck with the film anyway).
