When I saw it, people got up and left the theater before the names of the deceased were even listed!! Talk about disrespectful!! [pissed]
Edited for spelling.... |

When I saw it there were maybe ten people in the auditorium. Most sat through the entire credits, silent. The Vietnam vet in front of me was weeping.

The people in my show were clearly shocked and stunned. You could hear a pin drop during the list of names. No one moved until the the rest of the credits started. I saw a few people who were visibly shaken.

I could in no way be brought to applause at the end of that movie. Maybe this just my personal nature. To me that would be like clapping at the end of a love one's funeral.
I have no military experience or 1st person comprehension of any events that even come close to that, I hope that I never will have to. My upmost respect to those who have and do serve. |

I have only been to one movie that there was applause at the end. That movie was [i]As good as it gets[/i], I saw that movie twice that week and it didn't happen at the second showing.

In my case, it was the end of "Jaws". People were pretty thrilled to see that mean old shark get blown to bits. |

I thought the end of the History Channels show on BHD was very touching with the pics of the soldiers. At the showing I went to it seemed that most people stayed glued to their chairs in silence till the credits were done.

I saw it today and at the end it was complete silence. No one spoke till they left.

I went with my Wife last night. She said it was disturbing, I was emotionally drained afterwards. The ironic thing was when I got home, it was on the History channel. This was the ultimate in perfect timing!
In Columbia Tennessee, people started leaving as soon as the ramp was closed....pitiful! The town I live in now (Columbia) is not much to be proud of! |

Did you see the BS article in the Sunday Tennessean, Metro section, page 4B by Anita Wadhwani? It bemoaned the fact that local Somali's were saying the movie is "inaccurate". Why so? 1) the music wasn't Somali. (I'm not making that up.) 2)the actors weren't Somali. I wrote her an e-mail asking her why she never asked those immigrants what they thought about the dead Americans being dragged thru the streets? Should be an interesting response, if she answers at all. |

I stayed through the names, but I wasn;t expecting them. SO maybe people thought the movie was over and din't know they were coming up. I could be wrong I was kind of buzzed.

I walked out quiet in reverence. I walked out quiet, as well. I couldn't speak. My wife asked what was wrong, but she knew. Sometimes, I get the same way when I watch the news. AFA folks leaving while the names of the KIA were rolling, they rank right up there with the people I see at ballgames who don't have a clue (or don't care) about what they should do during the National Anthem. I know lots of you guys are or were active duty. You don't see that crap at a post/base theater. Eddie |

SAw it last night as well. Lots of quiet sobs afterwards and no one wanted to leave. Most sat reading the names quietly. There was however VERY LOUD cheering when the 2 little birds made their awesome strafing run near the end. Lots of "Take that motherf#ckers!" when they did. Jacksonville is a big military town though.
