Feel the emotion

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2003)

Wow, what an intense movie, the best I have seen on Vietnam or any other war, for that matter. Every time I watch this movie I am thankful that I was a little too young to be involved in Vietnam. Extremely well done, you can feel the emotion throughout the movie...young Ron preparing to go to war, the consequences of his injuries and the anguish and turmoil when he returns home. During the parades scenes, I was intrigued by the irony of the of the veterans cringing each time they heard the crack of fireworks that was saluting them. I agree that this is must-see for anyone considering the military.
