Went to see it Mon. and agree with Robin. It starts with original film and slowly you notice it getting better until the restored film takes over. The theater was occupied by 4 people so I don't think it will have a wide audience. If you are into history you will have seen a lot of the film before but will see it in a totally different way. Well worth it.

I was in Vietnam for Tet in 1968. There were a number of things I took away from this film and in no particular order that applies to WWI and Vietnam veterans. No one cares that you were in the war, what you did, who died, or how you survived. It is best to fit in with society and avoid any personal association with the war. The din of war will drive you crazy. There is no one to talk to about your experiences except other veterans. Family and friends will discount and marginalize you and most anything they say even to be helpful will hurt.

Harry, I think you're in a crowd here that cares, but I'd guess you know that already.

Robin and Harry some of the commentary spoke to me in the same way. The accounts of their return home and the indifference shown them.

I hope this comes out as serious as I mean it. I didn’t serve, I never picked up nerve to join, but then and now I appreciate everyone who has and is serving, without service folks we wouldn’t have a country to be proud of. I get pretty discouraged with all the rhetoric but I’ve never heard or seen evidence of a better place. I appreciate my granddaddy, a WWI vet, and my dad, a WWII vet, and all the vets before and since. I hope I qualify as a patriot but I thank the vets and the folks serving today and have full gratitude for what you have done.
