Most touching moment....

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 1998)

Say what you will about the movie. You may have loved it, hated it, thought it was the best or worst film ever. You may have thought the battles were amazing, disturbing or both. Maybe the story wasn't enough for you, maybe it was too much. I won't bore you with my accounts of the film...you need to judge that for yourself. What I WILL say is this: the most touching part of the film for me, was looking to my right and seeing and elderly man in his dress uniform watching the movie..proudly at times, sobbing at others while his wife held his hand tightly. The movie touched HIM. He, other vets like him and those that died, have gone unappreciated for far too long. It's about time someone did something that touched them.
