Just saw the movie this morning and it was great...very powerful. I don't know how it stacks up to the original as I have not seen it but this one was really well acted. Toby really lost a lot of weight to play this character and was totally freaky! I would say that it was a very sobering movie.
Makes you think about the families and people who are sent off to war. You can't go through that and come back unchanged; I don't care who you are. With so many people fighting overseas it's hard not to know someone whi has been affected by something like that.
My grandfather (who is British) was a POW in WWII for 3 years. His family was told he was dead and they even had a funeral and had a grave and headstone for him. When he came home he was never the same and to this day he has refused to talk about what happened with anyone. He became an alcoholic and was for most of his life. He is still alive and still has never uttered a word about what went on. I think this is to protect himself and his family. I shutter to think about what actually happened.
We need to treat our vets better and have better facilities in place to treat not only the physical wounds but also the emotional ones. After all it is because of them that we are still here. This movie helps to bring this back to people's attention which is well needed.
My thoughts go out to those serving and the families they leave behind...thank you...
