      [Film Review] Coming Home (1978) 7.5/10

      Hal Ashby's anti-war manifesto COMING HOME has a opening killer and ending - an improv conversation from real-life paraplegic Vietnam War vets, among whom, Luke Martin (Voight) remains silent, paying due respect to other's authenticated voice; and for the ending , Ashby goes understatedly poetic, juxtaposing three protagonists' respective actions and topping the movie off with a radical...

      Very mediocre, reflecting the nothingness of the Vietnam War Capital, the filming is relatively loose, and the relationship between people and people is not reasonable enough. In the veterans' hospital for wounded soldiers, there is a man holding a Vietnamese puppet, and a depressed patient who plays guitar commits suicide by injecting air into his veins.

    Movie quotes

    • Capt. Bob Hyde: I've waited a long time for an opportunity like this.

      Capt Hyde's Friend: You're going to make Major.

      Sally Hyde: Major?

      Capt. Bob Hyde: Major.

      Sally Hyde: Major Mrs. Robert Hyde? I'll have to get my skirts lengthened for that one.

      Capt. Bob Hyde: Start wearing girdles.

    • Sally Hyde: There's not enough beds. There's not enough staff. It''s really crowded and guys have to wait in line. They are just not prepared for the number of wounded guys that are being sent back.

      Martha Vickery: I don't think we are really clear at what you are asking us for, Sally?

      Sally Hyde: Well, it's what I said. I think we could do an article in the paper, you know, maybe using some of these photographs, interviewing some of the guys, maybe.

      Officer Wife: Isn't it difficult for the men to be around young women? When I joined Weight Watchers, I didn't want any candy around the house.

      Connie: I don't think that that's our function, Sally. It seems that we're more a Base gossip sheet. You know, fun and games for the fellas.

    • Luke Martin: Are you nervous?

      Sally Hyde: [laughs] Yes.

      Luke Martin: Why are you nervous? This isn't "Have a gimp over for dinner, night" is is? You're not one of those weirdos.
