Madam D @Madam1948 Jul 15 My guess is that those who did not like or understand this movie were not around during the Vietnam War. I was. The idealism of that time is real. The fact of how social change can impact individuals is real. We are going through a similar time now.

See more gracie a Mar 26 I found the storyline to be gripping. As I had not read the book, I didn’t know throughout the movie what had happened to Merry or whether or not she had planted the bomb. To me, the movie was haunting and the acting compelling. I’m surprised by the negative reviews and can’t help but suspect it is more of a reaction to the film’s exposure of the darker side of the 60’s revolution. Many people look back on the 60’s as a time when starry-eyed idealists changed the world to a better place. If they’ve never acknowledged the entire story, this movie will chafe.

Telling us we will always be wrong about people. Well written. A good man can exist is an unhealthy system, even do good things. But in the end this is a stark brutal look at how unfair life can be. I’ve never written a review on here, but the film moved me to participate. Family, love, psychology and society are all dealt with in this film. See more Zeke H Jan 9 I did not enjoy this movie. It was a depressing film. But that’s not the reason I didn’t enjoy it. I did not enjoy it because the story is just boring. I kept waiting for “a hook”. But it never came. See more Jolin S Jan 4 I don’t care what others say about this movie. I agree with the people who said this movie is quite entertaining. Ewan, Jennifer and Dakota put in a great acting performance. I just think the ending could have ended on a more positive note concerning the family efforts to overcome the issue that they were forced to deal with. Watch it to make our own opinion.
