What makes you say that? A lot of stuff from HBO has won Emmy's before. HBO has a great reputation now for quality shows and movies.

Sometimes a movie "connects" with you and other times it doesn't.

I can't explain it, nor do I care to dissect it. It just is.

This one hit me in the heart and I'd gladly watch it again right now.

I agree 20mm i think its one of the best Movies i have seen in a long time. Very heart wrenching, Like i said in the other thread I cried throughout the whole thing.

Panzer I think it wont because of Hollywood they wont recognize this film because it isnt a liberal piece about how bad our military is.

It's a keeper, I am going to buy it, on Blu ray if it's available in the format.

I think all that Taking Chance would need to push it into the highest echoloens would be a masterpiece of music.

Like Hymn to the Fallen.

OMG

My wife just came in and asked me why I was crying.

Dammit it I hate when that happens. But it just is, I make no excuses, it doesn't impugn my manhood.

There's stuff in this world is worth fighting for.

And God Love those who are willing to do and die.

I salute you, one and and all.

I've watched it two weeks ago. Watched it the evening after I visited my old battalion to pay my respects to the young soldier killed in Afghanistan a week earlier.

Loved the movie. And had to swallow hard and blink quickly during some scenes.
