i be on an overnight pas from the army in 1969 when this movie be play . my buddy and i think it might be a good movie . we be starve for entertainment . this movie be so disappointing . it be too heavy for u and we be about to leave for vietnam and want to see something light . maybe i be too young or it be the event of my life at the time . but we all think it be bad . i have remember this movie all my life and a it be the last one i saw in the u . i do admit the the cast be good and that be why we choose that one . i have always like kirk . but in the end we find it depress . i would watch it again if it ever come on tv and just so that i could make another judgment after all these year .
