Taking Chance
Credit to Instagram’s algorithm for introducing me to this movie. It’s a wonderfully understated film starring Kevin Bacon, playing a Marine escorting a fallen Marine home to his family. It’s based on a true story written by Lt Col Michael Strobl.
The film focuses on every minute detail of the process and ceremony that goes into cleaning, dressing, transporting, and burying the remains of a serviceperson who has died in combat. The armed forces make it a point to ensure that everything is performed with a solemnity and dignity that is inspiring to watch. It’s the least that can be done for those who sacrifice for their country.
I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes one of those movies that I find myself going back to every so often.
