i wish to see what people have said on this forum re the movie Casualties of War starring Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn. Can anybody direct me to where i can find any discussions re this movie? i couldn't find any search engine which would assist me in finding such discussions. Thank you.

i haven`t seen anything on the topic. powerful movie,,,but,,, i like Michael J. Fox, just not in that role.

You could start a new thread that discusses it. Oh wait, this is that thread?

Well, i personally believe that a discussion of the subject matter of Casualties of War is quite timely today in light of today's news about the soldier who is alleged to have killed 16 civilians in Afghanistan a few days ago - it demonstrates how the hostilities of war can affect the minds and psyches of men and women who experience the ugliness of combat.

i believe the movie Casualties of War should be required to be watched by all men and women before they are deplored to a war zone - and that psychologists should test each one's reaction and feelings re the movie before they are deplored to weed out those who shouldn't be.

Never seen the movie, but the first casualty in any war is the truth.

i totally agree with you.

*also
The Killing Fields
Black Hawk Down
and
read the bible, lots of horrible violence there

what was the truth that made Jericho fall? what truth killed the dwellers of Canaan?
this warlike god made us,,,,and we wonder why some people are warlike? hah

Great piece of film making. No doubt it raises a lot of moral questions for people in that situation.

**** like that happens everywhere though. Even on our own soil. Wasn't "A Few Good Men" also based on a true story?
