Wow! I love the setting, the research, the growth, the story told in this movie. You see Birdlace, a Marine, choose Rose as his date for the dogfight. The Marines are shipping out to Vietnam the next day so they are letting loose. Birdlace half heartedly tries to dissuade Rose from sticking it out but Rose will have none of that! When Rose finds out what the party really is, she lets Birdlace have it (you learn in the audio commentary that the particular scene I'm talking about was their FIRST take). Birdlace asks for Rose's forgiveness and the bulk of the movie takes you through his last night in the States with Rose. Spanning from the 60s to the 70s, we also see how the culture has changed. Contrasted with the rigid 60s, Birdlace comes back to a 70s America where a lot has changed. You'll either love the ending or not. I suggest if you have a hard time swallowing the ending, listen to the audio commentary! This DVD has the type of audio commentary I love. The director talks about the motives, the 'symbolism', and the research, and the quirky little facts. The director and the producer talk about what is really going on ... what the characters might be thinking. I would give the commentary itself a 5/5 stars!
More things I liked:
- the awkward love scenes. Instead of cutting and fast forwarding to the 'good' stuff, she (the director) makes you go through every painful moment of it.
- The transformation of River Phoenix's Birdlace character throughout the movie. He is your typical cussing sailor who turns into this quiet, stoic type by the end.
- Rose's character. Even though she is the victim of this dogfight, she never acts pitiful but still plays this hopeful, fragile, naive character.
- Birdlace's military friends. They are these minor characters, but they still are independent round characters with personality and thought put into their story lines.
- In the audio commentary, the director notes that Birdlace represents the harsh reality of things and Rose is the idealistic hopeful one. Even though they have these opposite viewpoints, you believe them both. So true. The commentary also notes the dress Rose wears to the dogfight (which, when she gets prepared for it is one of my favorite parts of the movie) is this puffy, yellow thing where Rose looks almost like a fluffy duckling and she's going into this dogfight where the guys have different intentions ... These are the types of things you learn in the commentary! Very informative.
There are just so many small things that make this movie incredibly believable.
