@zachedwards92 This should have won Best Original Score too!

The scene where the firecrackers are going off and the vets in wheelchairs are flinching is pretty powerful

When you see the opening shots of this movie and see the kids playing war, messing about with guns etc....It is then, that you can see the real extent of our problem and how deep it goes!!! This opening scene is a brillianrt social comment and this film is easily Stone's best and most important work.
We are programmed to accept war (whether it be noble or otherwise)....from a very early age, it all starts here imo.

this should have won best picture.

WE AS AMERICAN

Every time I watch this, especially 6:30, it makes me cry. Every time. What happened to those days where times were fun and carefree???

That music is heartbreakingly beautiful. Another awesome job by maestro John Williams.

Man its so devastating that History is allowed to repeat itself.This film is so sincerely sad.
I saw this film when it was first released to theatres and went back repeatedly week after week. The film is devastating. The beautiful score and haunting scenes seared in my brain for all time. Listening to the music today still moves me to tears. Just about the most powerful story and music ever put on film.
Cruise was robbed at the Oscars. He deserved the award for this role but lost to Daniel Day Lewis for "My Left Foot." Since then I've lost a good deal of respect for the Oscars.

I have friend serving in Iraq. It's so sad. I don't want them to die just so Bush and his buddies could privatize Iraq's oil field and shell out private contracts to business partners. The men and women of our armed forces are seen as disposable. It's so fucking sad. This is the third time we've overthrown a regime in Iraq. When will it stop? Saddam was on the CIA pay roll since his earlier 20s. please no more lies.
