Although some conversations go to far, this only adds to the attraction/appealing of the movie. I liked the movie and the discussions here show that it affects people (even if it is in a bad way) and they keep talking about it. While that might not be enough for many people, I did like what I saw. The main actors did a good job conveying their trauma, fear and rage. What really made this movie watchable for me, were the actors. Eastwood) is a better/superior picture in that respect, but that doesn't mean that Home of the Brave isn't at least good! While there is no full attack on/against the war (excuse the pun), certain moments do criticize the events. But the movie doesn't try to make a political statement about the war, it does however try (and achieve to a certain extent imho) to show us the tragic (after)life of a soldier. It is the story of a teenage boy named Kek, a Sudanese refugee who saw his father and brother killed in Africa and then came to America to live with his aunt. It shows American soldiers returning back home and not their victims life and/or point of view. Home of the Brave is a verse novel by Katherine Applegate. The most important theme in Home of the Brave is courage. He struggles along the way but never loses hope to find his mother. It's a drama that could've been made for TV. In Home of the Brave a heart touching memoir by Katherine Applegate, Kek experiences his new life in America with the assistance of his caring friends and family. I can see why some people kinda hate this movie.
