Re: Greatest War Movie of All Time - Elite Eight
[ QUOTE ]
First, I don't think your evaluation of the movie is very fair. It also seems very firm, as if more than a mere movie is being discussed or involved. Just a feeling.
That feeling comes also from certain past posts which sounded like catch phrases or sound bites of the right wing, which hates Oliver Stone with a passion and still often finds criticism of the Vietnam war offensive. Therefore, criticism of the Vietnam war by Oliver Stone gets some of those types in an uproar, even though he went and many if not most of them didn't.

Oh, no. Not at all. I personally have mixed feeling about the war. It's honestly been quite awhile since I've seen it, bit I just thought it was a very hokie movie.
It's interesting you mention that though. Maybe 15 years ago what you say may have been true about me. But that's not at all what I'm basing my evaluation on.
