The representation of minorities in this movie would have bothered me more if they were showing a city or other type of diverse community. For a small town during this period in time it was quite possible depending on the location that there was little to know racial or ethnic diversity. This fact, however is also the most troubling feature of the movie because it is representing soldiers experiences, but soldiers experiences would be different depending on where they went back too. The whole movie is from this romantic small town cliche. - Jonathan Bell | The representation of minorities in this movie would have bothered me more if they were showing a city or other type of diverse community.

| − | Agreeing with Jonathan, the movie is limited to three experiences in one town. There's no broad sense of understanding how many troops actually came back and how they would have impacted societal, economic, and political realms of cities, states, and the nation. -JamesD | + | Agreeing with Jonathan, the movie is limited to three experiences in one town.

The minority issue was a HUGE issue for me too as I watched the film, those of us who watched it at the regular screening actually started counting at one point - I believe that there were only three black people that I remember in the film. | The minority issue was a HUGE issue for me too as I watched the film, those of us who watched it at the regular screening actually started counting at one point - I believe that there were only three black people that I remember in the film. | ||
