Last night Kenny and I watched a movie on HBO called Taking Chance. This was one of the most powerful movies that I have seen in a really long time. It really made an impact on me, and I will admit I cried through a lot of it because it was so humbling.The film recounts the true story of Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl, a marine who volunteers to escort the remains of a 19-year-old killed in Iraq, back to his family in a small Wyoming town. This film is not political at all and shows the Lieutenant's(played by Kevin Bacon) journey and how he himself is affected along with the other people he comes into contact with.
This movie is only an hour and twenty minutes long and I felt like I learned so much and it really made me think. I just wanted to share because I think it is a movie that all Americans should watch. Whether you know someone who is fighting for our country or not. I'm not kidding. Watch this movie!
Sorry if this sounds preachy. It is not meant to be. This movie really just hit home with me. Has anyone else watched this movie?
