Good lord. This post and the one about the knife scene are bringing the
movie back to memory more and more...and yes, both were powerful scenes. The
movie veered a bit toward sentimentality at the end, but was powerful enough
throughout to make it forgiveable. The sense of debt toward those who had
sacrificed pretty well sums up our national consciousness toward WW 2 vets...
a good movie, but I still need to see Thin Red Line :)
