• This is a wonderful experience. It is a portrait of the America that still lives in many hearts and is the reason that many have the freedom to insult her and her brave sons. Apart from the war theme which continues to happen with every tragedy in every corner of the world where there is misery, the misery goes on until America intervenes -- much to the complaint of our home-grown naysayers -- there is the bright promise of America as the bright shining city on the hill. People swim through shark infested waters to reach these shores, not to escape. I am so happy that while I was watching this morning I could remember growing up in this golden land and that Mickey Rooney is still with us and I still remember when Americans were proud, happy and optimistic and worshiped God rather than a mere politician. Oh well, watch this movie and hope that we can go back to the days when the town park was a place where people danced and sang and above all celebrated the blessings of America.
