    Ang Lee is a magician, fictional story about a Texas soldier home from Iraq.
    Recently with all the publicity about her role as Diana in "Spencer" I looked up to see which Kristen Stewart movies I might have missed. This is one, she has a rather small but very important role as Billy's sister.

    Ang Lee is a master director, in this fictional story which looks like it could have been real he brings out many nuances and genuinely funny parts in almost every scene. The recreation of fighting in Iraq looks too real, it is very hard-hitting drama.

    Billy comes home as a hero for fighting off several enemy after his sergeant was wounded. Unfortunately, as happens in battle, the sergeant did not survive. He and his Company B men are invited to attend a professional football game in Dallas, they are put into the halftime show. The story illustrates the great divide between the soldiers themselves and the people back home who have no idea what it is all about.

    Excellent movie, my wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
