How silly some people are to call this an anti-war movie, since the anti-war people in the movie are looked at as despicable.
This was the best movie of 2016 by far. The characters, story, acting and continuity are all tops. The contrast between these fine young men and what they encounter back home is heartbreaking and (too bad) right on target. The football halftime scene where the guys are used as backdrop for the talent-free trio Destiny's Child made my blood boil.
If you like this movie, please look up "The Outsider" which was about the Pima Indian "drunken Ira Hayes" who helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima and starred Tony Curtis in his best screen role. A lot like "Billy Lynn" I can't even think about "Outsider" without choking up.
