This was a beautiful picture, and a story that needed to be told. It was particularly great to see the veteran actors assembled here, and it appears that it was Peter Fonda's last movie. I'm glad that I didn't go to film school, because I don't understand the seemingly spurious critiques that I've seen here. I was able to enjoy the movie, unencumbered by the faults that some experts perceived. One review complains about the cutting to flashbacks and duplicated scenes. I would guess that that reviewer would really hate Rashomon, then.

There's a lot of squawking here about the message of this movie, and frankly i don't understand the outrage. As a Navy veteran, I can attest to the fact that most of our servicemen and servicewomen are decent and honorable, but there is sometimes the soldier or sailor who is there for the wrong reasons.

Why would good soldiers defend these indefensible monsters?

In the news these days is Chief Edward Gallagher, an example of such a monster, who has brought dishonor to Seal Team Seven. These heroes have been punished for daring to speak out about Gallagher's crimes, and the Secretary of the Navy has resigned in the aftermath, because a draft-dodging phony of a president sides with that psychotic murderer.

As with the police, the good actors need to expose the bad actors.

As a possible war with Iran looms, people need to see this movie.

Make it go away! My contempt for this movie rivals the contempt the movie makers must feel toward their audience. An affront to all that is decent. Surely there is a circle of Hell lower than any of Dante's reserved for these people.
