Lessee, a trailer is to promote a movie, yes? Well, judging by this trailer, I'll pass this movie and I will encourage all I know to pass on it.
Images of Kent State and hippies and Beatle's music gets me thinking this movie will be a biased narrative. Nixon was shown several times but where was LBJ? Nixon was president during the time the protests really took off but it was LBJ who did the shameful underhanded dirty work. So is this movie about the domestic civilian unrest? It seems to me this movie is to present that narrative and use the war, and military casualties, merely as backdrop, to 'fix a moment in time'. I suspect Forrest Gump gave a better insight of the VN vet than this movie will.
