" Notes: To be honest, with such a title, I was actually expecting something rather cheesy. Well, I have to admit that the end-result turned to be not so corny after all and, eventually, I wonder what they actually meant with this title. Still, even though they did give an interesting look on what it meant, and probably still means, to go back home for many soldiers, they didn’t cut really deep into this sensitive subject though.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since it had a really solid reputation, I thought I might as well check it out.

"“This is a real Hollywood drama…. There are no effects, no action scenes, it’s a pure spoken-word drama. It’s set in a postwar period but I think speaks to a lot of issues beyond World War II, issues about human relationships.” -Alec Baldwin “It’s still very relevant today, people coming back damaged from terrible fighting they’ve had to do somewhere…. This movie really does have a message, but it’s always entertaining…. One of the great, great films of all time, I think."
