A Few Good Men (1992)
Typical Hollywood
This film, while entertaining, takes on the typical Hollywood attitude of 'Bad Military!' (background sound of a nose being swatted by a newspaper) and is 'Top Gun' with different characters, but a redundant story line.(Naval Officer trying to live up to his fathers legacy) Don't get me wrong; I liked the film. It didn't contain needless sex, violence (not pertaining to the story line) or gratuitous profanity, and provided a decent mix of drama and comedy. However, it is Rob Reiners disgruntled view of the United States Military, typical of the liberal '60's views. Yes, the armed services teach that the cohesiveness of the unit depend on every man following orders, but stating that soldiers are taught not to think, and are robots is irresponsible and laughable. I speak as a US Navy veteran. I think that Col. Jessup's monologue regarding 'sleeping under the blanket of freedom I provide, and then questioning the manner in which I provide it' says it all
Heavenly Days (1944)
A collector's must-have.
This film has been called 'corny' or 'campy' by some, but it calls us back to a time when patriotism was on the minds of most Americans. For many, the welfare of all the people took a front seat to one's personal needs.( See the train scene when the Jordans sacrifice their seats for war-bound GI's.) The tunes in the show will have you singing for days. For collectors of classic comedy, this is a must.
