Three aging Vietnam-era Navy vets--soft-spoken Doc (Steve Carell), unhinged and unfiltered Sal (Bryan Cranston), and quietly measured Mueller (Laurence Fishburne)--reunite to perform a sacred task: the proper burial of Doc's only child, who has been killed in the early days of the Iraqi Invasion. As this trio of old friends makes its way up the Eastern seaboard, Linklater gives us a rich rendering of friendship, a grand mosaic of common life in the USA during the Bush era, and a striking meditation on the passage of time and the nature of truth.

Title: There has to be an Oscar here...
Review: Nearly perfect. A movie to remember. Perfect and surprising cast. Simple, moving plot, excellent in every way. Photography and locations gritty and real. Don't miss this movie, especially if you went through Viet Nam and/or the Gulf Wars. Some movies have a voice and this is one of them.UPDATE one day after my first review: I just saw some reviews that seem to indicate that this film is anti-military and/or anti-government. I don't agree. I was there for Viet Nam, I saw how things were, and I see only an accurate portrayal.Upon rotation from overseas in 1967, I was advised not to wear my uniform while traveling because it was dangerous to do so back in the States. I did wear it once to take my girlfriend out to dinner only to have a young woman run up to me in the restaurant screaming "baby killer!" over and over. No matter what younger people who weren't there think, the Viet Nam era was a nightmare for everyone. The government was confused and lost, but still responsible, still trying to win while at the same time trying desperately to get out of it with some face. This fine movie is not anti-anything or pro-anything (except perhaps the lasting bond forged between soldiers thrown together in dangerous situations that they had no control over).In a way, I believe that the excellent treatment of soldiers recently is a result of the horrible treatment they received during and after Viet Nam. Soldiers are rightly lauded and supported now due largely to a huge, well deserved national sense of shame for the way they were treated 50 years ago.If you weren't there, then you can't have the visceral understanding that comes with seeing your government screwing up on a daily basis, with seeing friends die, with living through all the civil unrest, with seeing those who survived often so messed up that they were lost even to themselves. Our government was wrong back then, in my opinion, Viet Nam was a huge mistake, and over 50,000 young Americans paid for that mistake. Who knows how many Viet Namese died in that war. Get this much straight: Viet Nam was a country of its own that should have been allowed to forge its own way in the world. They got their chance, but they had to fight us for well over ten years for the privilege. Today the whole world is paying the price for the West's centuries-long meddling in other countries. The US came from a revolution against a foreign power that had far better claim to us than we had to Viet Nam and we today think that ours was a noble fight. If we see our own struggle for independence in such a way, then I don't see how we can rationalize our interference in the exact same struggle in Viet Nam.I think that if the ones who make the decisions to fight in another country are required to personally lead every column of soldiers that takes the field, then we would have far fewer wars. It's easy to commit someone else's life to such a fight, but not so easy to commit your own without a real, pressing motivation. If Tricky Dick and LBJ had had to fight their way through Viet Nam's jungles, they might have had a different view of that war.This movie was not directly about Viet Nam, but I believe it was a dead-nuts portrayal of the men who came out of that crucible. If it is in any way anti-military or anti-government, then it was at least accurate in my opinion and based on my experience.This is a great movie that not only has a voice, but also has a strong voice. It reminds me of The Deer Hunter in some ways. Don't miss it.

Title: Best Film I've seen in Quite Some Time
Review: This film was a total surprise. I hadn't heard of it, knew nothing about it. So I came into it without any pre-conceived expectations. And it bowled me over. I can't remember the last time I watched a film that made me riveted, laugh out loud, thoughtful and cry, all within the scope of the film's runtime. All of the actors in the film are excellent. By excellent I mean they did the near-impossible, which is they made me forget I was watching such well-known actors. Cranston really was Sal, Carrell really was Doc, Fishburne really was Mueller, and the minor characters really were exactly themselves--Mueller's wife, current marine and elderly vet's mother. I appreciated the suspension of disbelief this film offered. I believed. After the film I read reviews by others , including the negative review by The Atlantic, and I couldn't stop shaking my head at their analysis: to me, Carrell's performance wasn't overly muted--he was Doc, and Doc was in deep, deep, deep grief. He'd lost both his wife and his son. He was reaching out desperately for support from old friends who really knew him, even though he hadn't seen them for decades. I thought the amount of break-through happiness the Doc character was given in the script, and depicted by Steve Carrell, was perfect--any more and the audience would have been jerked out of the narrative and would have started saying "What--he's forgotten all about his son and wife now?" As for Brian Cranston--most of us have known that person; the one who cannot sit still. Who is perhaps blunt to a fault but who has a true compass for his friend. And Doc--when he finally explodes out of his repression behind his collar, it's a great moment--it felt true, because he was swearing and being "himself" while still angry for very new-Mueller reasons (Sals' behavior; especially his wild driving.) So it wasn't like all the sudden he converted back for no reason--he was still current-day righteous, but with old-ways vocabulary. Very believable. And, as we know, characters must arc. The Atlantic seemed to say the characters didn't--but I appreciated that they did indeed all change, but that it wasn't shouted at the audience. Doc came to realize that he could dress his son in his Blues and honor that part of his son without feeling he'd given in to the government. Sal held his tongue and told a "good lie" to the vet's mother (the excellent Cicely Tyson) to help her live her life with as much peace as was possible, instead of robbing her of it. And Mueller climbed off his high horse and out of what was actually his selfish world, to be there for both Doc and Sal. It was a beautiful film. And why it was passed over for any nominations I frankly do not know. It deserved acknowledgment. But we the audience can acknowledge it. And I think many, many of us will.
