Maybe I am not the most unbiased viewer, but I did not see it as a political statement, but more of a visceral immersion in a life that has become far removed from most of our lives. I took one of my adult sons to one show and then a friend of mine who has no military background. Both times, the theater was absolutely silent when everyone was leaving.
I was going to write that’s what my sister said! And everyone else. The entire theater was silent.
Dam. I just wasn’t up to a deep movie at the time but am looking forward to watching it alone, to tell the truth.
Too few carried the burden and still do, for too many.
Same exact reaction last night...uncanny...kind of a numb atmosphere...
