Thank you for this review as I probably would not see this film except for your recommendation. I'd also like to add how absurd it is that the Naval Academy has removed close to 400 books from its library. Apparently we trust our soldiers to go to war, but we don't trust them to read a book.
I'm too much of a big chicken to go see this movie, but I respect the hell out of your opinion about it Charlotte. The only other thing I have to say is, if you have not seen Reservation Dogs, you should because D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai is remarkable in it.
Thank you for this recommendation. I think that I probably need to see it, even if it triggers flashbacks to my time in Al Anbar, including Ramadi from 2007-2008.
If you have not seen The Burmese Harp, made in Japan shortly after WW2, you might appreciate it. A soldier puts on the robes of a monk and tries to bury all of the dead.

I'll second your recommendation of Reservation Dogs. Great series.
Charlotte,

All the best and thank you.

Thanks for the review. Just watched the trailer; looks excellent and realistic.
