Movie Reviews of Gardens of Stone
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not quite an anti-war movie. It would be reading too much subtext to the movie. In a way, it is an anti-anti-soldier movie. It accurately portrays the disrespect many in the United States had had for the service and sacrifice rendered by the soldiers during the Vietnam War. In the end, the young lieutenant gave his life for those who do not appreciate it, and the crusty old soldier had to saddle up once more to fight for those who insult him. Very poignant.
Summary of Gardens of Stone
The subtext of this grim, snail-paced Francis Ford Coppola film is the death of Coppola's son, Giancarlo, in a boating accident. Coppola came back with this Vietnam-era military drama about the men assigned to patrol and serve at the funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. James Caan is the world-weary patrol leader with a fatherly interest in a gung-ho cadet (D.B. Sweeney). Caan tries to show Sweeney the potentially fatal future that awaits him if he volunteers for combat, but he can't break through his young charge's zealousness. The subplot involves crusty Caan's attempts at romance with Anjelica Huston, who can't quite fathom his contradictions. The story is all glum and lumbering, despite a warm, full-bodied performance by James Earl Jones as one of Caan's buddies. --Marshall FineDrama DVD Video
