Memorial Day (2012)
Afterthoughts of a Screening
Unlike many war films, this film does more than just portray events and effects of active duty. This film goes further than blood and bullets.
is a film which embraces family, and intertwines the family aspect into war.
This film is (excuse the cliché) one-of-a-kind. Bennett does an excellent job portraying a young, determined soldier. James and each do an outstanding performance and really tie movie together, really embracing the feel of family (even though they both portray same character but in different times).
I highly recommend this film to ANYBODY. Whether you like war films or not, this movie is more than that. This movie, in a way, is every genre. Horror: giving realization of war events and after effects. Suspense: it keeps you on edge of your seat-- it keeps you wanting more. Comedy: some cute quotes which lighten mood after enthralling dramatic scenes. Family: it brings together a sense of love and support. And Romance: in a way, it is a love . You just have to open your heart to hear it.
Ten out of ten cannot describe the quality and love that this movie is composed of.
