06/05/2011 It's a shame the ending was so awful because most did stay true to the short story. There was another particularly bad scene where they found Mary Anne with the new soldiers because her transformation wasn't presented properly. See more 07/08/2008 Awsome and inspiring, very moving. The short story this is based on "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong" can be found in the book. "The Things They Carried". By Tom O'brien (not sure on the first name). He collected tales from US soldiers during the Vietnam war. See more 04/22/2008 A great war movie, a totally different story line, I love it.....one of my all time favs See more 01/16/2008 Great movie! Despite the irony of the story plot, Georgina Cates truly shines in this film. See more Read all reviews
