CGiii Comment
There are those out there that consider Altman as a demi-god, a genius of cinema. Why?
This is an overly wordy, dreary stage play...committed to film.
The set is spectacularly dull as is the lighting.
The camera work has got to be a joke - not looking much like a genius now!
Too long, by at least 30 minutes - this diatribe, the writing is like nails being ripped down a blackboard, it will have you wincing at the sheer absurdity of the dialogue.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Four young recruits about to be sent to Vietnam confront their prejudicial feelings toward one another when it's learned one of them is homosexual.
