@shlepcar I love this film so much that I own it and have watched it over and over. Harold Russell stole my heart. Comfort food in film form #comfortfilm
@sparker @shlepcar When my father returned from WWII (U.S. Navy, Pacific), he could not take up his old life, and his family fell apart—he wound up divorcing his wife and she got custody of their daughter. (He eventually remarried, which is how I came along.)
He never talked about the war, or the years afterwards, but I feel this film does a wonderful job of exploring how difficult it was for returning vets (and still is). A+ film, one of my all time favorites.
