no wonder it was only NOMINATED....

Rating: 2/10 (4 October 2001)

I don't see how someone can sit through this stuff in theater, I watched it on tape and had to take couple of breaks to get through it. The entire movie is summarized by one word, DISJOINT. And don't think I can't handle it since it is so "complex", I liked Magnolia and Pulp Fiction just fine.

And what is the deal with all the incoherent narration? Half of the stuff didn't even make sense...
Was I suppose to feel something? What? It does not portrait the horror of the war like Full Metal Jacket or Platoon. In portraiting the realism or horror of war, it loses to Saving Private Ryan. I did not find a single character I can empathize with let along getting the film.
