    Anyone seen this movie yet? I watched it last night and it made me tear up in about 4 places. One of the best war movies ever made and a good adaptation of an excellent book.

      I saw it this afternoon. I got to trade remarks about the movie with a young Marine with his arm in a brace. He was taking advantage of "limited duty" by going to the movies. Great movie.:)

        Oh i bet he was ballin' a couple times.

        There are some seriously emotional scenes in that movie.

        The one where they wont serve the indian- this famous 'war hero' who is trying to save the war effort on a bond drive he wants no parts of, after basically giving away his sanity on Iwo Jima...

        Profound.
