I watched the movie The War At Home again this weekend, and I just thought it is such a moving film that should be seen if at all possible. It is about a Vietnam veteran, and his struggles that he faces with being back in normal society. This film touches on a few things that I find interesting, and think should be touched upon.
Emilio Estevez is very moving, and just really good as the Vet, and the way he plays it you just feel for his character, and what he went through. Everyone else gives great performances, and you can tell throughout the movie that Estevez's family loves him, but they don't always show it in the greatest way possible.
The movie touches on the toils of war, and what it sadly does to some of our countries heroes. It also touches on the fact that Vietnam is one of the few wars where we lost, and how our soldiers were sadly treated when they came home; some of which were drafted to fight in this war. That is another topic The War At Home delves into.
I have a great respect for all the men and women who serve in any branch of service, and I think this film just shows us a sad cost to our freedom. In the end, I think The War At Home is a movie that Estevez did a great job directing and starring in, and should be seen by anyone who is looking for something that shows us just a little of what some face when they come home. The movie is rated R, but mostly for language, and if you do watch it you will experience an emotional journey that will have you laughing, and maybe crying by the end. I strongly recommend seeing this film as soon as you possibly can.
