    Why this is a great movie...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 22, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this We Were Soldiers (2002) review helpful

    1. It's realistic. Soldiers actually said "tell my wife I love her" as they were dying. Sorry, but they didn't think to say things that were witty and clever like so many people would like. The man in charge of makeup is actually a Vietman War Vetera...n and fashioned a lot of the makeup effects after what he PERSONALLY WITNESSED in the war. "Too gory" you say? Well guess what? That's how it was.2. Randall Wallace, the director, didn't want to insult those who had participated in this story, (it's based on true events of the life of Gen. Hal Moore) by sugar-coating, or taking lightly any of the events of the battle.3. The performances by Mel Gibson, Sam Elliot, Barry Pepper and others were excellent. Watch their eyes and their body language. Also, watch for dialogue that is not verbal-- especially between Gibson and the woman who plays Mrs. Moore. Read more Less

    THE MOVIE: We were soilders in the story of the first major battle of Vietnam, But it is much more for the first time in a war movie you see what the wives go thru and that is truly unbeleivable. You could argue this as being the greatest War movie e...ver made. THE AUDIO: Here you get a 5.1 surround sound ex mix that is stellar this is the kind of movie that shows what can be done with surround sound. it is so good that to not listen in surround sound is almost criminal. it also contains an english and french dolby surround. THE VIDEO and amazing transfer every bullet comes thru clear and crisp every pair of fatigues simply stunning some movies u watch for the scenery this one u watch for the scenery and the drama excellent transfer. You get the wide screen version and just sit back and be amazed. THE EXTRAS: You get and excellent commentary with director writer randall wallace you can feel his passion for this movie one of the best commentaries ever done 10 Deleted Scenes interesting to think how it would have been had they been added Getting it right a behind the scenes a stunning look at how far they went to get it right and it shows ...
