I find the story of Emmet very touching and relevant to today's veteran's struggles. The scene where he follows Sam to the lake and explains the struggle to just live everyday. The constant images of his comrades who did not come home that are calling him to join them and find rest from that daily grind. But in the end he decides to honor them by going on and live out his life and find some peace in the time he had left. I think this one of Bruce's best movies, totally different than the "yipe kay eh" films. Shame it did not get much air time but if you take the time and watch it to the end I think it will be well spent and leave you with the realization even today as combat veterans still struggle to just live another day and deserve our support.
