Taking Chance


I feel this work deserves a little more notice than it's received. The movie is poignant and very moving. I thought it would be a depressing movie, but it's not. I'm not usually a fan of HBO's work, but they got this one right. Movies like this are usually full of politic statements but this one isn't. They simply tell the story of one Marine's journey home through eyes of his escort. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Here's the link to the article, the movie is based on:
