      [Film Review] Coming Home (1978) 7.5/10

      Hal Ashby's anti-war manifesto COMING HOME has a opening killer and ending - an improv conversation from real-life paraplegic Vietnam War vets, among whom, Luke Martin (Voight) remains silent, paying due respect to other's authenticated voice; and for the ending , Ashby goes understatedly poetic, juxtaposing three protagonists' respective actions and topping the movie off with a radical...

    Movie quotes

    • Capt. Bob Hyde: Freakin' combat. Huh! I took this little hamlet - and I got this Second Lieutenant, this, eh, f*ckin' Camp LeJeune wiz-kid. Aw, he comes whippin' right on up to me, "Excuse me, sir. Sorry to bother you; but, do you think it would be okay if we put the heads on the poles? You know that really scares the sh*t out of the VC." - - My men, were chopping heads off - and that's what they were into - while they were dead.

    • Sally Hyde: You like tiger balm? It makes you feel real cool. I'll put some on your back.

      Capt. Bob Hyde: Is that the way you massage the basket cases at the hospital?

    • Prostitute: Hi.

      Luke Martin: Where's Adrian?

      Prostitute: Couldn't make it. She asked me to take her place.

      Luke Martin: I was kinda counting on Adrian.

      Prostitute: I've been around this part of the pool before.

      Luke Martin: With a gimp?

      Prostitute: Yeah. A guy in Reno.
