Oh, I loved it. Easily one of the best films of the year (infintely better than the insipid but Oscar-winning Crash). But if your husband would rather not see it, I'd listen to him ;-)
Could you give a brief summary about *A History Of Violence*? Perhaps our Troops might want to see it. My brother recommended it, but I haven't gotten around to it.
It's a dark, unflinching examination of violence; its meaning, its consequences, and the lengths we go to justify it. I do not want to spoil the plot (easily done on a movie such as this), but here is a summation: A good man with a good family life performs an act of heroism. An act which leads certain people to believe that he is, in fact, someone else. Someone bad.
Caveat: The movie is both sexually and violently graphic. Presumably, this is not a problem for soldiers.
Thank you for the summary!!
"Brokeback" was nothing like the hysteria portrayed it. It was a good story...the two leads were great and the women who played the wives were outstanding.
If anything...it was a good movie about the consequences of your actions...no matter who you are.
