after watch stop loss and i find myself against disappoint in hollywood for make such a stinker . go be the day of glory of the film of the 1940 that make one proud to be an american and fight the evilness that desire conquest abroad and death at home . what we be leave with be dribble froth at the mouth of rabid anti bush radical . the story tell of three young men who return home from the war . one descend into out of control madness and culminating in his death . the main protagonist desert his country at a time of war and and destroy his best friend relationship with his fiancé at the same time . the third truly be the hero of the story and elect to continue the fight that be bring to our shore nearly eight year ago . what make this movie bad and be not the acting and but the premise behind it . we be lead to believe that decorated soldier be in fact hater of our country . desertion be akin to treason in a time of war and and the main protagonist flirt with it throughout the movie . this paradox be design to weaken the audience reaction to the central act of the movie . we be not suppose to find fault with king and since he wear medal and but his action do not just merit it and but cry out for it . he be not an anti hero . in order to accept the movie and the audience must accept the correctness of desertion because the story paint king a nothing else short of a hero . i can not accept that and since it be like ask me to call the sky yellow on a clear blue day . furthermore and derision for the real hero be heap upon and the man who re enlists and continue to serve his country . i would only recommend this stinker to someone who need convincing of the decay of hollywood and a it be a clear example of it . no wonder it fare poorly in the box office .
