I felt that the depiction of the mental state of all three men was an accurate account of how some people were after the war. Homer mostly fit right back in no problem, but he had his disability to work through, which many families had to deal with after the war. Fred had the marriage right before the war, that in ended in divorce after the war. Al was the example of the returning veteran who had been married long before the war, and dealt with a drinking problem after the war. I felt the movie accurately depicted at least three varieties of people's experiences after the war. --Ashley Wilkins | I felt that the depiction of the mental state of all three men was an accurate account of how some people were after the war.

| + | In the beginning when the three main characters are returning home in a taxi, Homer suggests "going to Butch's for a drink" before being dropped off at his home. This statement had some implications, primarily the anxiety being felt by the soldiers about returning home. This is important because it shows that the hesitance and reluctance goes both ways (between soldiers and their families). Furthermore, I assumed that all the men would be excited about returning home, but this movie shows how complex their feelings were about returning to their families. - David F. | ||
