A Wonderful Birthday Present

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2000)

I, and quite a few other Charlestonians, saw this movie for the first time tonight. We were drawn to it, perhaps due to it being filmed in the area, perhaps because it was about South Carolina (and we need good press these days). What a pleasure this movie is! Yes, it has violence, and even some themes not "popular" or "politically correct" (I recall an article decrying the children shooting guns), but this movie is wonderfully American - describing American defiance, American ingenuity, and the American quest for freedom.
What a wonderful birthday present this is for our country. See it. You won't regret it, and you may even feel a little skip in your heart the next time you see our flag.
