A long Journey

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

The most interesting aspect of this film is Sheen's journey into his animalistic self. A self that only war can understand and a war that our civilization struggles with on a daily basis. Now, with regards to the juxtaposition of elements you have to admit the music in the gunfight from cruiser scene (playing of course one of my favorites, Hendrix) is one of the best. I don't think it gets much better then that. From the story to the crude acting, to the editing, to the set location, this movie is number 1 in my books. The only element that perhaps could have been worked out a little more thoroughly, because I was confused (okay, that's easy to do) is the detailing of directives scene in the beginning. But like I said, this movie will be remembered as one of the great post war movies of all time!
