A love story to be sure, but also a highly original take on the human price of war. This riveting film is propelled by intense performances from the three leads, all of whom were Oscar-nominated (both Voight and Fonda won). A triumph from the late, talented Hal Ashby. Fabulous Movie--but that last scene...?
A fantastic, moving, dramatic movie about the casualties--at home--of the Vietnam War....Voigt, Fonda, and Dern are superb. But one thing that has always nagged at me--the very final scene with the "Lucky Out" sign on the convenience store door--how are people interpreting the meaning of this? Flower Power Film.
The movie deals with the psychological effects of the Vietnam War. This movie isn't about the war, as there are no battle scenes at all. It only reflects the behaviour of people who are affected by the war. The film is escorted with a great music of the period (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin and others), however, it is there in EVERY scene! They just played it over the entire movie which was quite annoying. Overall it is a good film about the damage war makes to the soul, and that fighting against war is sometimes right, as war might become the enemy. Great handicapped sex scene. 8/10
