Calm. Slow. Elegaic.

I cried approximately 100 times during the 78 minutes it took to watch this flick.

I would say this movie* should be required viewing for those deciding to send our young’uns off to war…if I didn’t think those people were 90% jerks who don’t care about anyone but themselves and even seeing this couldn’t move their stonecold hearts.

*Along with others, like In the Valley of Elah, Hurt Locker, and Stop Loss–just to name movies made about THIS war. There are of course many other great movies made about other wars. They should get them all in a pack like Oscar voters. “Before making a really bad decision, take a minute and attempt to understand what these movies have to say about war.”
