Cash, I certainly agree that the dialogue in the desert scene is important. It tells a lot about what the war did to these men. My problem is that it’s turned into a humorous moment, which really detracts from the meaningfulness of it for me. The same goes for the scene in the Kovic household where Ron confronts his parents. I think pulling out the catheter was important for his family and the audience, but it’s turned into something of a joke. Maybe there’s some deep philosophical point to be made about making those moments humorous, but I’m not really in the mood to be grasping at straws. --Taylor Brann | Cash, I certainly agree that the dialogue in the desert scene is important.
