The hopelessness was something I definitely noticed. Much akin to the panic felt by Joe in Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun, it seemed like all three men were realizing at several junctures throughout the story that they wanted to be anywhere other than back home. The other thing that really struck me about this movie is that you could put the story into any time period and have it remain relevant. The struggles, fears and anger felt by the three soldiers are all still felt by the soldier's returning from Iraq. Everyone is afraid in the same language. --Cash Nelson | The hopelessness was something I definitely noticed.
