This is a brilliant film adaptation. Now, if you don't like "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," Tim O'Brien's tale from They Things They Carried, you will not enjoy this film. But if you're a fan or the original writing, you will be entranced by this. I am a teacher of literature, sixty years old, and I find only one step awry in this adaptation. There are VERY few films based on literature about which I would ever say that. The story itself may require a leap of faith, but there's no further leaping to appreciate this film. The acting, dialogue, and perhaps most importantly the screenplay, are superb. The film's one fault is its ending, which muddles the story.
