Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding history lesson
Review: I rarely write reviews because even professional reviewers can be at opposite ends of the pole with their comments and conclusions. In my opinion reviews really get down to personal views and feelings and we are all different. Having said that I have just watched this movie for the 4th time in as many years. I still feel as strongly about this movie as I did when I watched it for the first time. Apart from giving an insight into the difficult decisions the Presidents of the USA had to make and their reasons for the decisions (and we would all love the advantage of hindsight), I wonder whether any of our political leaders have learned the lessons of Vietnam. It seems that the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are mirror images of what is displayed in this movie. Path to War is a gripping and intense lesson in the futility of war. I wish more people would watch and understand it.
Is the review positive or negative?
