Product Information
When Sally Hyde's (Jane Fonda) husband, a ramrod-straight marine captain, Bob Hyde (Bruce Dern), is sent to Vietnam, she leaves the isolated world of the officer's quarters and begins volunteer social work at the veterans hospital. There her unthinking support of the war and her blindness to its effects are challenged by meeting the crippled men struggling to recover, psychologically as well as physically, from their time in country. Many, like Luke Martin (Jon Voight), now a paraplegic, are embittered and full of unfocused, uncontrollable rage, which he takes out on the prim, controlled Sally. Interestingly, they went to the same large high school, but she was a pretty, popular cheerleader type and he was just a guy in the back of the class. Gradually, as she changes politically (always signaled by changes in hair and fashion) and he recovers emotionally, they become friends and then lovers. This causes a sexual awakening in Sally that furthers her transformation from a repressed wife to an independent woman. Then her husband comes home.Hal Ashby's film, with its classic rock soundtrack and lush photography by Haskell Wexler, submerged its politics in a warm nostalgia, although it was made just a few years after the war ended. Still, its theme of individual transformation, both political and sexual, struck a chord with baby boomer audiences who all felt, to varying degrees, that they had done the same thing.Product Identifiers

Coming Home. A Winer.
Great character development and study. All the elements of empathy and pathos. John Voight did a masterful job, while Jane Fonda, (have never been a fan of her), did also do a very credible job. For all Viet Nam vets, I think this is a great film.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Coming Home was uniquely isolating for every vet returning from Vietnam. I showed this to a high school study group along with Catch 22.
Here was a vietnam era 3 way conflict/romance that captured two kinds of herosim from the male characters, and two more from the leading female character. Perfectly cast, totally memorable.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Coming Home - A boring Jane Fonda movie
I like Jon Voight and Bruce Dern, so I got this movie. I only got to see Bruce Dern act toward the end of the movie, all-be-it a great job, I wanted to see him more. And Jon Voight can't talk much with Jane Fonda running her mouth. So it's a typical feminist anti-war Jane Fonda movie. She cheats on her husband with Jon Voight. Wow, like there's not enough movies about that. And that's pretty much it. I was hoping to see some PTS and nightmarish Nam scenes or something, and you do see Jon Voigh's urin bag explode. That was cool! And Bruce gets over dramatic at the end. But it's definitely not making the cut for me as a great film. Sorry Fonda fans!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Politics aside
I don't care what you personally think about Jane Fonda. She won the Oscar for best actress, Jon Voit won for best actor and the picture won the Best Picture Oscar. How much more could you ask for in a movie?Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A Depiction of Social Upheaval and Change
This film touches on our nation’s priorities during the sixties and seventies. It questions the value and necessity of war as seen from several perspectives. It observes the blossoming of a feminist perspective within said constraints. What it is to be a dutiful wife to a courageous soldier who is blindered and honorable yet changed by the Vietnam war experience. It’s about all the above. It’s about learning oneself. About unfolding and compassion and the sadness of realizations and expectations. Excellent character studies from that time frame. Highly recommend it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
