Be Warned,
There is no way to switch off the Chinese subtitles on this dvd. What’s more they are very obtrusive – they’re larger than usual and higher up on the picture.

A Rumor of War,
This DVD is apparently in a foreign format and it will not play on my DVD; but the problem is intermittent.

In addition to being a good book…,
This is a pretty good movie. I remember catching it on TBS one day while staying home sick from school. I was still sick the next day, so I got to catch the second part of it. It was a movie that stuck out in my mind for its portrayal of the war.
A few years later, I remember seeing the book and reading it. The book was much better because it went into the mindset of the character and why he joined the Marines. The movie does a decent job of portraying that, but not quite.
Another movie that needs to find its way to DVD.
