Coppola directs an all star cast in a gripping drama set during the Vietnam War but told from the perspective of Arlington National Cemetary. I've watched this movie over a hundred times.

Well with this film Caan's character is great. He is a deep man and a soldier. Most people with A-type personnalities are not as in touch and articulate with their feelings. It shows the human side of a career enlisted infantryman. This is an emotional and dark movie.

Another flick on Vietnam from Coppola, but this time it"s COMING HOME style, with a poignant character study about the post-war effects on a deceased soldier's family. James Caan makes a comeback with a surprisingly toned down performance that makes this one worth of interest.
