What happened to Coming Home? A search on Roku found nineteen movies and TV shows with that title, all made in the 21st century and not the one I was looking for.
Is it because liberals (or at least mainstream Democratic politicians) are pro-war now? Republicans are, too, but that goes without saying. Maybe Jon Voight becoming such a right-wing freak played some role. The movie was nominated for eight Oscars and won three.
I always thought that it should have been made while the Vietnam War was still going on. I understand that it wouldn't have been as well-received, but it serves little purpose to warn the kids that they might come home in a wheelchair when the war is already over.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe the movie would have disappeared if it had been made back then, as it has now.
