Title: Weightier than I thought it would be.
Review: As some of the detractors have made a note, there are historical discrepancies and the military uniforms/equipment were off just enough to be distracting - but all more or less standard Hollywood fare. But the military portions were far better then those in the formerly renowned "Deerhunter," which got an unwarranted pass at the time, and the story in "Soldiers" is decidedly more powerful, and convincing - clichés and all.As Hollywood also does so well, there are a few flights of fancy here and there, but from a historical perspective the story is authentic enough - ask any attorney how many marriage laws had to be changed just because of courageous interracial couples such as those fictionalized in this flick. Overall this was a surprisingly worthy and formidable movie with above-average acting and actors, for what was doubtless a low-budget endeavor.Good show - worth the trip.
