We Were Soldiers
I just rented we Were Soldiers.(I know I'm late watching it) what an awesome movie IMO. I thought Mel Gibson did a great job playing Hal Moore,and was equally impressed at how the y used the real people's views,opinions, and so on.
Most war movies make the soldiers heros. Men that are indestructible. But this one didn't. It emphasized the fact they were only men, with wives and kids.And was not afraid to let the characters feel emotion.This was an excellent movie.
I have always been upset about the way the US sent our military into Vietnam. told them to fight. Drafted young men, sent them in to die. ANd when it was all over, gave them no respect,or recognition whatsoever.Finally a movie that addresses the issue.I don't think the govt, and the people could be more wrong.These guys did what was asked of them, at least they should be thanked.IMO.

(Discuss ??)


BC@the movies

Rusty? I thought brainchild posted this. Maybe my computer is on the fritz again.

I agree, BC. I'd read the book a few years back, and can honestly say that this is the first time the movie was actually better than the book. Gibson should be up for an Oscar for this one.

Best movie I've seen in ages.

Must watch the dvd version or divx, on a slamming sound system and hdtv makes this movie 10x as good.

Yep definately a very good movie, I'm not typically a big fan of war movies but I'd watch that one again
