Coming Home
Well, it was made in 1978 and is titled "Coming Home". I kinda guessed what it was going to be about and yes-I was correct. A response to the Vietnam War, but not in an Apocalypse Now way, it was more of a Deer Hunter meets Forest Gump and JarHead. It was directed by Hal Ashby and won 3 out of 10 oscar nominations. It was slow, but intense and very emotionally gripping. The characters were welled formed to create a massive amount of conflict throughout the whole film culminating with the ultimate decision of who Jan Fonda playing Sally Hide will chose; her Husband or her new love, the paralyzed war vet. The composition was very diffused but yet it was very beautifully shot. I liked the Husbands performance the best, but didn't dislike the other two main characters performances.
