Many years ago, either Paul or Vern or Jeff told me I should go see Brian De Palma's Casualties of War.
"You have to see this," one of them said, "The guy Michael J. Fox plays is just like you."
Well, I finally got around to seeing the movie; just finished, in fact. And while I don't believe I could possibly display the courage Fox's character shows in the film, I'm nonetheless deeply moved by the comparison. I wish I really were that guy.
All that aside, it's a heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, but ultimately moral film. I needed it this week.
