It is a good movie but it is nothing compared to the book.

Awesome movie, awesome song. Of all the versions of Dixie, the one sung in this movie, to me, is the best.

Not to mention, the movie simply rocks.

Don't get me wrong, I live Dixie (The song and the land) but it doesn't make sense for it to be sung here. In the book, his son is killed by Vietcong, and here they sing "I want to go to Vietnam

I want to kill some Viet Cong."

It's very nostalgic and sad, just doesn't make sense.

Was the old man singing joining in at the end a little drunk!?

I can see why they changed what was sung for the movie but it makes absolutely no sense for Dixie to be sung here...

Even though "Dixie" certainly doesn't have any pleasurable or romantic or nostalgic associations for me, this is still a very powerful scene.

ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER.... Because of this film, I STOPPED all FOOTBALL ignitions, and was willing to take on the whole fucking team, even if I had too. I was starting quarterback and NO ONE agreed with me, until I could finally sway one to my side, and that was all I needed. Boy I could fight!! And I beat the shit out of 5 of them. After the 5th, they gave it up, and from that point on, NOT A SINGLE LAMB was touched by any of my senior class!!!

@captmclain Yeah, I saw that Movie. And to think he's the Stepfather of the most Popular and Highly Dysfunctional Family on TV. They are in my opinion a Guilty Pleasure.

@laminage Sure they did. Have you never seen "Grambling's White Tiger" starring Bruce Jenner? Also, Gen Durrell was the Gen who gave Martin Sheen his orders in Apocalypse Now. Great character actor.
