i really think that some of you didn't get what its about....its about waiting to fight a war you aren't needed in. ok, that's the point...it's not a movie with subplots, its straight forward. and its a character study. last i checked citizen kane magnolia didn't have much of a plot either, but didn't stop it from being a good movie. or american beauty. character studies!
