"in the valley of elah"
After reading "Soldiers", the critique of the new movie "In the Valley of Elah", I wanted to see this movie ASAP. The writer/director of Crash seems to have created another award winning movie. I loved crash for its amazing cast, provocative message, and gripping action. Instead of examining car accidents and distorted relationships between races, "in the valley of elah" is a look into the Iraq war through the eyes of a former vietnam vet/ father of a soldier who was brutally murdered back in the states. While trying to solve the mystery of his son's death, he sees small glimpses of war life and realizes how monstrous it has become. Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron are the two main characters; so this movie could be anything but thought provoking and rivoting. CLASS FIELD TRIP (to the movies)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
