Thousand Yard Stare

In the beginning of this film we see a female nurse wearing a kaki trousers!!!! in ww2 nurses never wore trousers.never.stay away from this piece of rubbish, the acting is terrible,especially the so called actress who's playing the wife of the so called "protagonist",he is almost as bad as her,the story arc is simply ludicrous,the plastic tank models are small and look completely new,like someone just took them out of box seconds before the "battle" scene was shot.

So underrated! very emotional; i am a Veteran... i know...

I'm the daughter of a veteran who was a tail gunner on B24's in World War II. I'm the niece of two men: one who fought in the Pacific and one in France. The one in France never came home. He was 19. I'm the widow of a submariner who was stationed on a fast attack submarine for 18 months in the early 70's. The Navy helped subsidize a trip to Rome for those of us who could make the trip to meet up with our husbands in Italy. My husband survived the Cold War but later died in a car crash when two young men who couldn't speak English entered the highway going the wrong way. Survivors suffer from PTSD, too. I don't care if you didn't like the movie but honor the men and women who served. So many were killed, wounded or carried the memories and were wounded warriors themselves in one way or another. Honor them or keep your mouth shut.

It's a great approach when you tackle the issues of PTSD. Some cases it's never really discussed, especially in film. I had the opportunity to see this during it's run at the Edmonton International Film Festival in October 2017. I actually used to work with the guys who made this film years ago. They are determined, and very ambitious in their work. I am extremely proud of these guys, and what they have achieved.

If you have ptsd, you will relate completely to the protagonist.

Survivors guilt, inability to reconcile the chances that led to survival and descent to dispair.

Inability to connect to loved ones, regular life and suicidal ideation / action.

Is it perfect? No. But those complaining about back and forth...., you are fine then trauma occurs and you relive things. That's why the film is created that way.

Only accepting what happened and confronting it helped.

Watching the journey of the protagonist was excruciating. Particularly when he was going to meet his wife and stopped for a drink.

This wasn't a large budget blockbuster but it does a better job of depicting trauma than most films to date.
