| Mrs. Bobby sez most of the reviews were good, and the NYT is quoted as saying something like, "one of the year's best films." Just because the Times sort of likes it doesn't make it bad. One reviewer didn't like it; he's an idiot. I haven't choked up in a movie in a long time. Go see it. Sit all the way to the end of the credits. I did, and when I got up, many others were still sitting there. Having read the book, I knew the medal the son found after Doc Bradley died was the Navy Cross. He never told anyone, and the movie does not reveal its' significance, just that the son didn't know Dad had been awarded it. |

| #1 An ex-Navy Captain I know saw it, he liked it. He was expecting it to another "futility of war" flick but said it was a good story and they seemed to leave politics out. |
