This film has (Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan (1996) has been airing on AMC recently. But I think it's good - I would say, Great - enough to have led me back to an unedited VHS copied a few years ago from HBO.

Between the imagery and the music, there are aspects of it that have even helped me to out put away some issues which had been bugging me since Vietnam, and I was just curious to know what Freepers - particularly veterans - might think of it, either similarly or dissmilarly.

And thanks for having indulged me once more.

Merely curious.

I only watched 90 seconds of it, so I can't comment, other than it reeked of PC to me.

I don't like Denzel Washington movies, in most of them he plays the hero opposite of "evil whitey".

It was a good mystery, however, the more recent Rules of Engagement with Samuel L Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones is a GREAT movie. Especially in retrospect of the recent terrorist events.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Meg Ryan as a combat soldier was ridiculous. If you can somehow imagine her to be a your man, the movie is an interesting study of the results of cowardice in combat.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

'a your' = 'a young'

[onedoug]

Yeah, well you're wrong about this one.

[onedoug]

Yeah, well I think you're wrong too.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

C'est la vie.

[onedoug]

And I think you're wrong about this one, too.

[onedoug]

Except for the "study" aspect. You've got something there.

I'd admit to being a little tight when I posted this. But I yet feel this is a powerful film in which someone has put something together in.

As I wrote, "...thanks for having indulged me once more."
