Quite honestly,I don't know how the "message" of war could've been delivered more accurately than the famous beach scene in Ryan. That movie hit people like a sledgehammer. I've never seen a movie where everyone remained seated as the closing credits came across the screen...Saving Private Ryan did that to people. I've talked to dozens of people and it happened at their shows too. Everyone got up slowly and shuffled to the exits in a shocked state.Yeah, it was ugly to watch at times but that was the point...war IS ugly. I've always felt fortunate that I was a little too young for the Vietnam War and I feel that way even more after watching When We Were Soldiers. I had never seen that war delivered with such realism.It's quite an amazing movie to watch. It shows how the wives made an impact back home and even a small glimpse into the lives of the enemy. I'm not easily impressed but this movie did it for me. That being said, I didn't really care for Blackhawk Down very much,. It was OK but I thought it was overhyped. This movie didn't get the fanfare but I think it's much better.I hope you like it....my wife and I sure did. It's not an uplifting movie(although there are moments) but it shows the Vietnam War in a whole new light. Enjoy!
