A masterpiece in character

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2020)

Before this movie I've only given three 10 ratings: Die Hard, Shawshank, and Malcolm X. This movie is an absolute masterpiece in characterization. It does contain Spike's typical style, so in some places it's more play than movie, in order to explore the characters. It's poignant, layered, deep, and well executed in telling a story of the casualties of war, as they relate to individual perspectives and priorities. The Historical facts presented are true and the movie itself is compelling.
