As a person that values reason, logic, objective study, etc..  This movie has made me think deeper about some aspect of our political correctness, etc...
I think one point that struck me in particular, is how often we go along with things, or make decisions, that we don't fully think through, or adequately consider the consequences of.
Everything has a price we must pay...

Can we be really honest with ourselves? or is it easier to keep lying to oneself?

Very well acted movie with a disturbing yet powerful message. Much to reflect on after viewing it.

I saw this movie before the video "One" by Metallica was ever released. I found it to be very thought provoking and more than just an anti-war film. What I saw in the movie was how cruel we can be to our fellow human beings and how governments try to dehumanize their citizens. I especially like Donald Sutherland as Christ. I am not a Christian but I found that Mr. Sutherland did a very good job of portraying Christ's suffering as these young men died and even the further suffering he showed when he was unable to help Joe find a way out of his predicament. It is not a happy film but one that deals with the human psyche and how we deal with life, and that quality of life truly does matter, even if it is only just being able to see or hear or talk, even one of these things makes for quality of life.

Excellent message movie. If you are watching with friends, it's great. If you're watching with your spouse, it might make you think... about your relationship and whether you are "that guy" or "that girl" in the relationship...
While thought provoking is good, it's not for everyone.

This movie is not for everyone. However, that being said, I think this movie is more thought provoking than most movies you could waste your time watching.

This movie affected me, disturbed me, and made me realize how corrupt people actually are. This movie is stunning.

This is a sad but extremely thought provoking movie.
We were still talking about it the next morning.
I would highly recommend it but make sure you are
in the mood for some heavy drama.
In my opinion, a must see.

Thought provoking, almost theatrical movie. I will recommend it for open-minded viewers.

This is a thinking movie.  It pushes your brain to hear and see three rationals and images of this conflict.  Of course, there are some long sentences and big words thus there is a large segment of the politcal right who will not get it, hear it, and/or  understand the concept of telling the story from 3 angles ( way too complicated).  How Mr. Redford did this so smoothly I will never understand but I do appreciate and praise (often).  It is a powerful movie, message and is compelling.  At the movie's end you want to cry, salute, protest, write a few letters ect.  It maybe the most powerful introspective analysis on the meaning of this war to many not just one side or another.  You find yourself thinking about this film and its many messages long after the credits.  All actors Redford, Cruise, and Streep do such a fine job that when they each own the screen you find yourself saying " I can understand that point of view" . A movie that makes you feel, think, remember, and evaluate your role & contribution in this world is POWERFUL.  The theater had only a few patrons but those there all stayed to see the credits and ponder what they just experienced.

This movie is very thought provoking. It shows that even the best intentions can be subverted towards a personal agenda.

Was a deeply philosophical movie ... really gave a thought provoking at relationships today and the struggles we have in society in "relating" with others aside from using technology.  Definitely can see why it didn't get high reviews because it's not a nonsense reality TV type movie.
