Although the film very accurately portrayed Kovic's own personal experience, I felt it only showed the war in a certain light. While Kovic's experiences with the VVAW and his ultimate opposition, it fails to show those that did not suffer to the extent that Kovic did. Particularly in the representation of the protesters at the Republican convention, none of the peace protesters are not violent or unruly and stereotypes the Republican leaders. -Melissa | Although the film very accurately portrayed Kovic's own personal experience, I felt it only showed the war in a certain light.

| + | I agree with Anna and Megan. Although the issue of African American civil rights was brought up briefly, I though as a whole it was underplayed. While many of the scenes neglected to have any blacks in them (which would have been accurate), the issue itself isn't brought up in many of the conversations or situations that Ron finds himself in with other African American soldiers. - Victoria Y. | ||
