| Stone does some things wonderfully here, other things not so much. I wish he'd had the courage to drop the horrendous letters to Grandma, for example. Let's hope in the annals of cinema, this is the beginning and the end of the "letters to Grandma moralistic war movie explanation device". The movie itself is about Good and Evil, or, as Stone does it in his uniquely subtle way, GOOD and EVIL. It must be said, Stone, the artist, the director, is amazing at his craft for this movie, and some scenes resonate pure class. But not all of it works. A flawed classic, and ultimately overshadowed by its Vietnam peers. |
