Interesting take
by rafaelc378 β€’ 2000-12-07

"Of all the short stories from Tim O'Brien's book, "The Things They Carried", why did they pick this one? I could have picked better ones to put on the silver screen. Otherwise, it did a good job, on the surface, of telling the story. But it seemed (to me, who has read the book) to unnecessarily drag on. And what's up with the last scene? (Although I saw it coming for miles) Another example of a good book turned into a mediocre movie..."

Based off of the short story 'Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong' written by Tim O'Brien which was featured in his novel 'The Things They Carried'.
