When the war comes home

When the war comes home
Captured by : pg 1- DC_1

is a 2016 war drama film directed by Ang Lee and written by Jean-Christophe Castelli, based on the novel of the same name by Ben Fountain. The film stars Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Vin Diesel, Steve Martin and Chris Tucker.

It’s got a strange name, but it tells a dark story. Joe Alwyn is a 19-year-old soldier who is honored back home for the worst day of his life upon his return from the war. While politicos can’t wait to turn the teenager into a symbol of national fortitude, Lynn’s still working out some issues of his own.

A series of flashbacks will show us what really happened in Iraq as it all comes to a head during a climactic Thanksgiving Day football game, where reuniting with his brothers-in-arms overwhelms the young man.

Even if the technology may still have some wrinkles in need of ironing, the new trailer showcases Lee’s sky-high ambitions as a film stylist and takes full advantage of its eclectic cast, including Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel, Chris Tucker, and Garrett Hedlund. The war comes home on November 11, Veterans Day, with a wide release to follow shortly afterward.
