last night phillip and i watched "in the valley of elah" for the first time. i don't know why i never hear about these movies when they come out, but it seemed okay in the video store, cause i love tommy lee jones.
i was not prepared for the heaviness.
this is not a kid movie, but if you want to have a look at the war from the perspective of a soldier, and his father who thought he had a perspective because he was a veteran, but who found out he was not prepared for how things are now, this is the movie.
i cried at the end.
how's that for a recommendation?!

No thanks.
:-)
really karen?
i thought you might want to see it. the movie is referencing the valley in which david fought goliath.
or is it the military angle? too hard?
sorry, don't mean to offend.
just curious.
Yeah, that. My bro-in-law just deployed...for a YEAR. Can't hardly stand to think of it, much less watch it.
No offense, ever.
:-)
ah.
yes, i see.
