Watch for Gary Sinise: Lieutenant Dan Taylor
Published by bernie4444 , 25 days ago
I saw this movie when it first came out, but it did not register with me. I usually bypass anything related to Vietnam. But I was not aware of Gary Sinise at that time. Rewatching the movie is like seeing it for the first time with my eyes open.
It is unique how they can weave the improbable into a plausible story, and Tom Hanks fits the part so well.
If you have not seen the movie, it is about a person with a low I.Q. and a bad back overcoming all the odds and being in all the right places at all the right times to be part of history. He narrates his own life story, mostly from a park bench. In the process, many eternal questions are pondered.
There is a time when Forest runs back and forth across the country, and you get to see all the places you have been or should have been.
You will have to see it over again for the nuances that were missed. I spent two weeks at Glacier National Park, Montana, USA.
Again, I watched because I know of Gary Sinise’s work with the VA.
