Summary: Politics?
Comment: I remember watching this film when it first came out about 20 years ago. It was a powerful film about a group of people who have never really been honored for the sacrifices they endured for their country. The political agenda driving Hollywood made it into a small film that not many people got a chance to see. It seems like nothing much has changed in 20 years. Why is this film only going to be made available on November 11th? Does it have anything to do with the fact that there is an election going to happen in this country the week previous to that? Perhaps the powers that be don't want Americans to see a powerful representation of the experiences of one of the candidates. Especially if that candidate is the one that Hollywood has aligned itself against. I find it hard to believe that there is no stock of this product anywhere that can be tapped before November 11th. Way to go Amazon.

These POW's are saints and patriots. I am proud to call them my inspiration.

Summary: Why Isn't This on DVD?
Comment: Although not perfect, this remains one of the most powerful films about the Vietnam War ever made, and unlike most postwar movies, it provides an unflinching look at the evil of the North Vietnamese and their Soviet (and other Communist bloc) allies, which may be why it's not out on DVD. When you think of all of the mindlessly fawning portrayals of the monsters of the left (Che Guevara comes to mind in the Motorcycle Diaries, or John Reed, in Reds), is it too much to ask that a movie that shows the other side of them (the side that butchered 100 million people over the course of the last century) be made available?

Summary: The "REAL HANOI HILTON" See Sen. John McCain's Home for 5-1/2 years.
Comment: I intially saw this at the movies when first released. AT THAT TIME I felt this was a very graphic and powerful movie. One reason I had enjoyed it so much was because of Senator John McCain, tho' not mentioned by name in the movie (he is listed in the credits as being a "guest for 5-1/2 years." It's powerful to me how these regular guys perform these courageous patriotic acts without a second thought. It proves people become heroes from their circumstances and abilities to hold true to beliefs of our democratic principles. This is a must see just for the history of the era. To see Jane Fonda doing what she felt was right to our veterans upholding and protecting our values as a free Nation.

Summary: Hope never dies
Comment: If you liked Uncommon Valor, you'll like this one better.
Jane Fonda should have been in this film. (In her Barbarella attire). Shame Jane Shame.
