O Retorno de Um Herói

This film was a respectful tribute to our servicemen and women who have fallen in combat in Iraq, and a lesson to Hollywood. This film allows any viewer, of any political persuasion, race, color, creed to honor (and grieve) in a respectful and deeply moving way through the journey of a Marine escort. This was not a travelogue, this was America at its best. The people in this film are people I recognize, although I am not from Wyoming. They represent the many families and friends I know who have lost young, vital men and women in combat. I am from a small rural state and I haven't seen anything from Hollywood to match this in a long time.

I think it's one of the best drama i have seen.Actually i didn't seen such emotional movie before. i think its a sample true & the way the treat with a martyr was amazing & full of respect. I really liked the play of Kevin Bacon.

A must see underrated movie. Incredibly moving! Powerful acting and drama. Based on real-life events makes it even more introspective. If you want to know what happens after someone pays the ultimate sacrifice, this is the movie to watch. I know it won a Golden Globe, but this is a story that deserves more!

Back in 2003, I read Steven Brill's account of the aftermath of 9/11 in the United States. One of the many stories in the account dealt with rumors among the families of the victims, that the human remains intermingled with the debris. Feelings ran so strong that the City of New York finally arranged for a review of the site by a committee of family representatives. What they found were that the workers at the site were sifting through the wreckage with a far higher degree of care and sensitivity than they could possibly have guessed. People, at the end of the day, care about people.

I viewed 'Taking Chance' in that context. The political heat that infuses some of the other comments, is surprising to me. I didn't see the movie as making any political statement at all. In fact, to the extent that one can be inferred, it is mildly negative on the Iraqi war, raising the question of whether all this grief was worth it.

What it is about, is the respect that ordinary people have for grief and sacrifice. To that extent, it is profoundly moving,

This movie represents what people from all over the world admire about Americans. This excellent film is so moving. They honor the sacrifice of a warrior who died fighting for his country. Thanks to guys like Chance Phelps the United States of America exist and freedom exist. Thanks to America there's freedom in the world.

This film is a lesson to every country that should learn how to respect a fallen hero. In the most advanced civilizations all along history, from the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Persians, the Chinese, etc. warriors have been honored by the civilian people and this will never change. America, keep reminding all of us how a brave nation should be like!!

Kudos to the American people. Thankyou.
