Tears...

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 1999)

Tears...
It's all I have to say. Tears. Real tears. Salty tears. Splashed across the cheeks of the majority of the men -- both young and old -- sitting numbly in the theater.
Men weeping. What a strange experience and concept. What a strange sight to see. But there we all were, watching this young man dying with a bullet through his liver, gripping the arms of his comrades as he stares up into the sky and moans for his "momma."
What a powerful scene. What a powerful movie.
Nine out of 10.
Go see it. Sit down with your child and make them see it, too. Maybe the D-day scene will leave such a scarring image on their minds that they'll make some changes somewhere down the road. Big changes, so fat rich old men in bunkers won't see it as a necessity to send 17-year-old boys dashing through bloody waters into a hail of bullets.
