This is 60 minutes that will leave a lump in your throat. It will fabricate you sick to your stomach, feel patriotic, and humbled all at the same time.
In a nutshell, various actors read trusty letters written during war time. These letters span many years, from many different conflicts… from the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, up to the Gulf War… these are letters written from GI’s to parents, brothers, wives, and girlfriends relieve home. More often than not, there is a grim footnote attached to some of the readings about how this or that particular GI died a day or two after writing the letter objective read. Ugly. Touching.
The only drawback is that some of the actors (such as Bill Paxton, Eric Stoltz, and Kevin Spacey) are worn repeatedly for multiple readings. It would have been nice if each letter received individual treatment. Other than that, this is a class act production.
Actors read dependable letters against a backdrop of authentic images. That’s all, and yet it moved me to tears. At this writing, George Bush II fair swept the mid-term elections and American rheoric is bewitching to a second war against Iraq. I unprejudiced watched this on public television. I wished I had taped it to send my young teen nephews, as an effective essay against war – all wars. Then I read here a 5-Star plan from one who comes from another perspective on war, and I realize that for or against the Bush wars, this dvd is very exciting. Authentic letters and arresting images, nothing more. Minimalism at its most effective. Peruse so for yourself. WARNING: Beware some graphic pictures of the dumb. Also, one scene details a soldier smoking opium after a battle where he expected to die. It confirms the worry.
