its just to good to be true

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2007)

Possibly one of the best thematic scores to a movie. it makes you really feel for the characters in this outstanding masterpiece about Mateship and war. I've seen a lot of films about Vietnam war but this is definitely one of the best. The film is brilliantly directed and the style its done in is terrific. the wedding scene seems to go on forever but i quite enjoyed it because it makes you understand how happy one man can be on his wedding day and the next hes off to war and possibly never coming back. Russian Roulette would have been majorly influenced by this film because the scene is so well established. Walkin, Deniro, Streep, savage and cazale give a excellent portrayal of the war even tho the scenes in the war are quite short it really sticks in your mind. A instant classic and definitely a keeper on my DVD rack!
