I think this movie did such a good job portraying the time period accurately because the movie was made during the time period it depicts. For a movie such as this, not a whole lot of research would have been necessary since the people involved with the movie are living in the time period the movie is supposed to portray. I also think that this movie is very relevant to audiences today, just as it was when it first came out in 1946. Today, we have soldiers returning home from Iraq, and some of them are facing problems similar to those of the WWII veterans, such as post traumatic stress disorder, combat related injuries and disabilities, etc. -Katherine Stinson | I think this movie did such a good job portraying the time period accurately because the movie was made during the time period it depicts.

| + | It would have been really cool to see a post- WWII movie done with the same type of concept as Crash. You know, have five to eight different storylines representing different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds from different parts of the country. To a certain extent, filmmakers have to rely on stereotypes in order to connect with the audience, but by widening the scope of post- war situations, the viewer could gain a deeper understanding of what the time was like. I think ''Best Years of Our Lives'' does a remarkable job of depicting the realities of post-war, white, small town America.– Jason Ward | ||
