But I wonder if
WE? has any opinion about the modern classic movie
The Last Detail.
For some reason something reminded me of it...oh, it was
this little "primer" on US ranks/rates and insignia, and it occurred to me I never remarked what Budowski and Mulhall (sp for both?) were in for as "lifers" and it made me think of movies, and, therefore, this thread.
Pay in mind I've seen this movie probably as much or more than any other, but it just never occurred to me to look at the two principals' shoulder/sleeve.

EETA Oh, I gave one of the
LOTR movies another chance:
The Return of the King. I thought it was an exceptional piece of narrative, and a spectacular piece of film-making. No, beyond seeing the first two movies of the trilogy before, I have very little understanding of the details, but even if I were to have gone in "fresh-faced," I still think it would have engaged me and most anyone.
It was a complete movie, IMHO, with all the elements in place.
I say it can be allowed.
