Grabs you By the Shoulders

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 1998)

This movie accomplished the following: a) EVERYONE should be obliged to view this superior film artifact. b) That being said, I don't think I'll go back to see it again, since it was like being there, and perhaps like some veterans, I don't want to rush to return to the battlefield.
This summarizes how much this movie AFFECTED me. It's a week after I saw it , and I can still feel it in my gut.
Makes you believe that those with 'war stories' probably were not anywhere near the real battlefields. Makes you believe that perhaps some of these people marching on July 4th are only representative of those who were really there.
Makes you want to search these noble veterans out, and hug them and tell them 'thank-you' while they are still on this earth to thank.
A movie that must been seen in the theater, to experience the sound as well as the sights....don't wait for the tape...you'd be missing out on something that will change you.
This film cannot be over-exaggerated.
