A Must See!
This movie came to our small town theatre after the community came together to pre-sell 500 tickets. I do not care for war movies or documentaries and I have mixed feelings about the war, but some friends wanted to go so I went. WOW - talk about an eye-opener! This movie shows the good and the bad - the love of country, the dedication of our soldiers, the conditions we take for granted, the sadness, the laughter. It is real - no Hollywood spin, no scripts. (And there's no blood so those with weak stomachs don't have to worry about that.) There was not a dry eye in the place! Every person in the theatre stayed to watch the credits...and when the credits were over, every person in the theatre sat in silence to let it all soak in. I will own this on DVD, I will recommend it to every person I meet, I will buy it as a gift. I can only assume it will be shown in history classes. The perspective this movie gives is, well, WOW!
