very apropos. Ron Kovic just got wounded. The beginning was nauseating jingoistic on purpose, I was impressed, I've never seen this before.
Watching this I can't believe we are in Iraq.
When will people learn.

to Stone making one of the best anti-war films ever made, the best acting job Cruse ever did, and to the character played by Wm Dafoe in that scene......"you didn't kill any babies"

| 3. man, I loathe Tom Cruise films |
|
and I just can't take my eyes off this so far.
Ive seen most of them (apoc. now, platoon, hamb.hill, etc) but this one I've avoided simply because Cruise is in it. The beginning was amazing.
It's dejavu hell all over again with iraq.
