One of the best movies I have ever seen,

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2018)

This is one of the best and most genuine movies I have ever seen. I love this movie. I love these people and their inherent decency, and I love a country that was once able to produce such people. It is about three men who have become strangers to their own lives, who are quite different men than when the course of their lives had first been set. They left to protect the country and the people they love, but have returned as different men to a country and loved ones who are different as well. As they remade themselves into the soldiers their country needed them to be, they must now find the strength to remake themselves back into the citizens that are needed now. It is about the sometimes extreme courage needed to face every new day, and the heroism needed to do the right thing under quite ordinary circumstances. It is also very much about kindness, acceptance, and the way that we adapt to each other, and try to adapt to the needs of those we love. It shows the ways we sometimes fail each other, imperfect beings that we are, but keep trying. War is hell, and you don't immediately exit hell, just because an armistice has been signed,and you get sent home.
