Hella good war flick to add to Spikes legacy. Good premise, great actors, socially conscious. Was very relevant to the trauma caused by war to its victims, the soldiers PTSD, lingering landmines, and the aftermath drama that carries on to the families. Biggest drawbacks was Spike should have used younger men for rhe throwbacks. It was very confusing watching old men play their younger counterparts. It distracted also from the emotional connection of seeing before and after. It would have given a higher reaction to the ending revelations. Crazy how it turned out but fitting. The lost flame should have been older even if she was a young prostitute she would be graying at least. Her daughter looked appropriate in her 40s.
