Word of Honor (2003)
Terrific Must-See
Excellent movie . Don Johnson's outstanding performance is to be seen. The ending is a real surprise and demonstrates the depth of Don Johnson's character. His eloquent words in his defense about the men that served under him were tear inducing. It is a must-see. The weakest role appeared to me to be John Heard. The terror in young Don Johnson's eyes when in Vietnam was amazing. The scenes of the soldiers in Vietnam were so real I felt like I was there with them in the water etc.The dialog of Johnson's lawyer interrogating the witnesses was superb! I do not see the necessity of giving Sharon Lawrence such a "scandalous" past but it did demonstrate that for some people the past is is th past on not to be dwelled on because what counts is the present. See it now.
Is It Always Right to Be Right? (1970)
The best example of two sides to every question
In 1972 I started teaching Race Relations in the Air Force. Many say that the Armed Services are conservative or bigoted, but this is an example of the forward thinking of the Air Force as this was one of the first films purchased for our program. It is probably one of the most powerful short films about bigotry and closed mindedness I have ever seen. Men and women of all ranks thought that the message was clear and meaningful. I wish it were available today, I am still in Social Work and while I primarily do therapy, the message is applicable to marriage counseling, domestic violence, anger control and even substance abuse group therapy. If any one has a copy I would appreciate contacting me at facts1@swbell.net
Extremely Dangerous (1999)
American ears need help
I often wished they had inserted "American English" subtitles. I think I missed quite a few important details which resulted in confusion. Despite this, there was enough intrigue and action to satisfy. I was also impressed with all of the resources Sean Bean had at his disposal for a man that escaped from a prison transport.I was very impressed with the Pakastani cab company owner. At least there was no confusion to understanding him. The flashbacks of the murdered wife and daughter and Sean Bean's responses to the memories were excellent. I never really caught the original connection between Sean's character and Annie....former lovers, wishful thinking on her part????
