Taking Chance



This is a wonderful movie that I watched last night. If you haven't seen it yet, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Be prepared to weep.

Oh, and Kevin Bacon is outstanding.

  2. I loved this movie, I had no idea that the remains of miltary members were treated with such honour, dignity, and respect at every step of the process (as they should be of course).

    There is no political message or sub-text in this movie, just a very moving and true story.

    It makes me cry just writing about it.

  3. I have not seen this, and probably won't for a long time (I did read the book).

    That said - everyone I've talked to was incredibly moved by it. It was absolutely welcomed by the military community, much more so than The Hurt Locker.

  6. I think I have heard the story before. But if the movie is anywhere near as good as the trailer, then is is one damn good film.

    And why is it called a "trailer" when it comes out before the film does?
