COMING HOME (1978) was on TCM last night. I hadn't looked at it since it was new (saw it on cable TV over 40 years ago)!
I had forgotten about the stir the lovemaking scene had initiated. It is still impressive and I give JANE FONDA a lot of credit, because it was a bold scene, even now!
JON VOIGHT and BRUCE DERN also do a great job no snark intended!

That scene where one of the veterans injects himself with an air filled syringe 😳😳
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Disturbing.  Definitely a life or death movie.  Preachy.  Great soundtrack!

I'm not a fan of Hanoi Jane but that was a very good movie: the final scene with Bruce Dern - when I realised what he was actually doing - made me 😢

The Burgomaster

I just ordered the blu-ray from the Kino-Lorber summer sale - - along with 54 other movies. Add to that the ones I ordered from the Criterion sale, the Severin sale and Amazon . . . and it adds up to divorce proceedings when my wife sees them.

Great movie. Vietnam was some f**ked up s**t, and when these men came home they were f**ked up by that s**t. My neighbor Todd who lived across the street was in Vietnam. He drank a hlaf gallon of vodka every 2 days. Nice guy. He cried alot. I miss him.
As far as "Hanoi Jane"- nah. She just wanted what we all wanted. To get the f**k out and let the people do what they are gonna do whether we like it or not. It wasn't our country to tell them what to do. Our Imperilism in that country was inherited by the French.
I seen that s**t on TV as a kid every f**king day. My Dad watched Walter Cronkite every night. Horror movies were a relief!
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
