I agree with you 1000%!!!! Went to see this magnificent film yesterday afternoon. Normally the movie theater gets very light traffic at this time, mid-week. When the wife and I got to the movie theater to buy tickets, we were amazed that there were two lines with roughly fifty folks in each line waiting to buy tickets.
The theater was just about full except for the very close-up seats. The theater hold about two hundred people, I estimate at least 150 people were there. During the movie....there was not a sound, a cough, a sneeze!!! The movie is stunning and probably ranks among the best of war films...if not the best one!!!
There is no racism...period. This is a story of love, devotion, bravery and loyalty between a “band of brothers” caught in a fight that could only have ended in death through their mercy. There is unexpected kindness and mercy given out by the “Seals” that costs them their lives. There is also mercy and protection for the one survivor from the “Brown” Afghan village people.
We saw the movie “American Hustle” recently. It’s a terrific movie that is the one and only movie that deserves an “Academy Award” as best picture by far. Sandra bullock’s flick, “Gravity” is in the same league.....but IMHO “Lone Survivor” blows both those films away. You are absolutely right.....every American should see this maginificent, outstanding film, “Lone Survivor”. Peter Berg has produced a masterpiece that will live forever. And....actor, Mark Wahlberg and the entire cast of the movie gets five stars & more!!!
Since the Revolutionary War up to the present military struggles in Afghanistan.....we have always had common soldiers, sailors, etc., that have perfromed uncommon, extraordinary, brave service in defense of out nation. It’s is clearly time that...we the people, turnout by the millions to view this film in honor, love, respect and gratitude for their...and their families and loved ones service & sacrifice so that we can sleep safely and in peace tonight!!!
The nutcase rhetoric of the Obamabot left-wing America haters should be completely ignored, not listened to and flushed into the America hate cesspool they all came from!!! God bless our USA military, very single one of them!!! Thank you....troops, all!!!
Well written and expressed!
I'd like to take one of my daughters, but I don't know if she has the stomach for it. I don't think she could take "Private Ryan," for example. Do you think she could handle this?
excellent review !
Tell everyone you know to go see this movie
Thanks!
Sadly, I tried watching it but, passed out.
This operation, which doesn’t seem like it would be a big deal, has sacked me hard.
I’m gonna try again this weekend.
I didn’t even the popcorn
