It's life

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2002)

I've been reading alot of the reviews and am astounded at just how many reviewers are just "movie-goers." This is life guys, this stuff happened, pretty much the way you see it on the screen. Most people in any branch of the military aren't going to be English professors with extensive vocabularies, and during war, especially a battle, there's not a lot of time to really convey your emotions and thoughts into extensive sentences. Also, these are real people, believe it or not. I've seen this movie, it's very well done considering that it doesn't make anyone out to be more than they are, you live and die as a team. I can't speak from experience being that I'm fairly young, but I've heard my fair share of stories from vets, and any of them will let you know a few facts that this movie demonstrates very well, 1) It wasn't pretty over there in the least, people died both good and bad. 2) You didn't have time to do much but get the job done and move on. 3) Both sides were pretty determined to win, and both had their strong and weak moments. The war happened, the script is what it is because that's the way people talked. A heartfelt sorry for your ignorance goes out to the people who didn't like it, look for shakespeare somewhere more surreal. This movie and review is for the vets who did fight, die, and see all the stuff depicted in this film. An innocent reviewer thanks you on behalf of all the ignorant out there.
