Stop-Loss

I have mixed feelings about this movie. I don't know what Mr. Phillipe saw in the girl in this movie to cheat on his wife and date this woman. Witherspoon is more attractive... Texans aren't hicks, but these people seemed like hicks. Drinking all the time and shooting things for fun... SO MUCH FUN... It blended the damaging mental effects a lot of soldiers have when they get home into real-life senarios, which was done very well. The real reaction of finding out that you aren't done serving your country, but going back to the place that has already messed you up is actually happening. I don't agree with war. The Americans should just let the Iraqi's kill themselves all out so that the problem fixes itself. Who are we to decide to that they need democracy??? This unnecessary war looks like neocolonization to me. What this movie also showed was that weak people should not be allowed to enlist. These are people who come home and don't know how to look after themselves when they get back. There is more to life than fighting someone else's battles. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one yet.
