Penn plays the older brother. The middle brother who was palying guitar died in combat in Vietnam.

I was blown away by this movie and I'm going to go see it again today.

That's what I thought - the brother was 19 if I remember correctly. However, the Chastain and Pitt characters don't exhibit discernible aging (perhaps a comment on childhood memories),so it was confusing as to when they got the bad news of their son, as a child, as a man?

I'm with you - gonna let this one soak for a few days then give it another go.

  As a makeup artist who knows the parties involved I would say it was a more practical problem. It bothered me as well.
  
  I have to say now that I have seen it a second time it was actual far more linear than I remembered it being on the first viewing. I think I liked it even better the second time. There are many quick allusions and foreshadowings that play much better on a second viewing.
