Emotional
I was really amazed by this film – there is no actual action in it but is so emotionally strong! At first sight it looks like documentary but it’s actually not. The topic – bringing home dead soldier – is really heart-breaking, involving all of us, thou not everyone of us has direct ties with the military. I was pleased that there was no propaganda, no politics, no religion – just simple truth and reality. And Kevin Bacon played his part so well – to catch and express that thin line between grief, sympathy, doubt and strict military training. No surprise he won golden globe for it.This film has to be seen by everyone, no matter where they live, what religion or political view they have.
