Product Description
Perhaps the most compelling picture ever made about the shattering aftermath of the Vietnam War, COMING HOME earned eight Academy Award nominations and won three for Best Actress (Jane Fonda), Actor (Jon Voight) and Original Screenplay. COMING HOME is a heartrending and unforgettable examination of a critical period in our nation's history and an uncompromising, extraordinarily moving film directed by the great Hal Ashby (THE LAST DETAIL). When Marine Captain Bob Hyde (Bruce Dern, BLACK SUNDAY) leaves for Vietnam, his wife Sally (Jane Fonda, KLUTE) volunteers at a local hospital. There she meets Luke Martin (Jon Voight, DELIVERANCE), a former sergeant whose war injury has left him a paraplegic. Embittered with rage and filled with frustration, Luke finds new hope and confidence through his growing intimacy with Sally. The relationship transforms Sally's feeling about life, love and the horrors of war. And when, wounded and disillusioned, Sally's husband returns home, all three must grapple with the full impact of a brutal distant war that has changed their lives forever. The stellar supporting cast includes Robert Carradine (THE BIG RED ONE) and Robert Ginty (THE EXTERMINATOR).

Jane Fonda has got a lot of hate because of her views and actions especially in the north Vietnam during the Vietnam war. If you look very closely at the video footage you can she was physically lifted by the Vietcong onto the tank. She was set up by those’s who hated her outspoken activism and they succeed at it. She still takes responsibility to this day which she apologized but people won’t let it go. If she were a man they would already forgotten about it. Not to mention Jane has also done amazing thing’s in her career so let’s forget the pass and move on. Something about Jane is that she will make a movie when something is going on the world (EX) 9 To 5 (Women workplace unfair pay, equality, & harassment), and Coming Home which y’all know by now. Now let’s review the blu-ray of the movie. First of all I’m glade this got re-pressed this year after being sold out since 2014. The quality is great although it looks like full screen not windscreen, and sound quality wasn’t that good but still worth getting. Get it I recommend on getting the blu-ray for quality but If you want the dvd there’s no problem with that.

He's not a likeable character at first, but watch him as the film progresses and the war wears down on him. He becomes an angry, broken man devastated equally by what he has been a part of and the affair he becomes aware of. Hal Ashby was just such a gifted director, a rare one that allowed emotions to surface slowly as the plot unfolds. Everyone in the movie makes mistakes. Everyone has an enormous amount of pain inflicted on them. There are victims all around and ghosts carried around by everyone. No one escapes unmarked.
This is an excellent movie with top notch performances, nuanced direction and one of the best soundtracks you'll ever get. Don't miss it.

Auch an der Kasse war das Drama nicht erfolglos. Bei einem Budget von 3 Millionen spielte der Film 33 Millionen Dollar ein und landete so auf dem 15ten Rang der Kinojahrescharts.
Der ursprünglich mit den Produzenten Hellman und Voight an „Midnight Cowboy“ zusammengearbeitete Regisseur John Schlesinger wurde zum Regisseur ernannt, verließ das Projekt jedoch, weil er sich mit der Thematik unwohl fühlte.Das Drehbuch wurde dann an Michael Cimino weitergegeben, der damals daran interessiert war, einen weiteren Film über Vietnam zu drehen. Er lehnte jedoch ab, da es sich seiner Meinung nach um eine "schlechte Fiktion“ handelte, die eher eine politische Idee als die Wahrheit der Geschichten zurückkehrender Veteranen aufdrängte. Laut Cimino wurde das im Originaldrehbuch geschriebene Ende von Fonda geändert: "Was gedreht wurde, war Janes Ende – sie war eine Pazifistin und musste einen Weg finden, die Figur aus Schuldgefühlen zu töten. Im ursprünglichen Ende besorgte sich Bruce Derns Figur ein schweres Maschinengewehr und ging in einem Moment des Wahnsinns auf die Autobahn von Los Angeles um einen Amoklauf zu starten. Fonda verwandelte dieses drastische Ende in einen Schuldkomplex des Soldaten, der sich umbringt, indem er ins Meer geht. Wobei so ganz offensichtlich ist das Ende in "Coming home" nicht. Man sieht Bruce Dern zwar ins Meer hinausschwimmen, vorher hat er seine Uniform fein säuberlich am Strand abgelegt. Ob er tatsächlich nicht mehr zurückkommt ? Hier darf eher spekuliert werden.
Im Jahr 1968 heiratet Sall (Jane Fonda)y, eine loyale und konservative Militärfrau, in Kalifornien Bob Hyde (Bruce Dern), einen Captain des United States Marine Corps, der kurz vor seiner Entsendung nach Vietnam steht. Als engagierter Militäroffizier sieht Bob den Einsatz vor allem als Chance für den beruflichen Aufstieg. Zunächst fürchtet sich Sally davor, allein gelassen zu werden, doch nach einer Weile fühlt sie sich befreit. Da sie gezwungen ist, eine Unterkunft abseits der Basis zu finden, zieht sie in eine neue Wohnung am Strand und kauft einen Sportwagen. Da sie nichts anderes zu tun hat, beschließt sie, ehrenamtlich in einem örtlichen Krankenhaus der Veterans Administration zu arbeiten, teilweise inspiriert von ihrem unkonventionelle Freundin Vi Munson (Penelope Milford), deren Bruder Billy (Robert Carradine) nach nur zwei Wochen in Vietnam mit schwerwiegenden emotionalen Problemen nach Hause geschickt wurde und jetzt dort im Krankenhaus ist. Dort trifft Sally Luke Martin (Jon Voight), einen ehemaligen Klassenkameraden der Highschool. Luke war wie sein Freund Billy nach Vietnam gegangen, kam aber verwundet zurück. Er erholt sich im Krankenhaus von seinen Verletzungen, die ihn querschnittsgelähmt machten. Voller Schmerz, Wut und Frustration ist Luke nun ein Gegner des Krieges. Zunächst ist er ein verbitterter junger Mann, doch als er zunehmend mit Sally in Kontakt kommt, beginnt sich eine Beziehung zu entwickeln. Schließlich wird Luke aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen und beginnt, mit seinem eigenen Rollstuhl mobil, sein Leben neu aufzubauen. Seine Beziehung zu Sally vertieft sich. Auch sie wird durch ihn verändert und ihre Lebenseinstellung beginnt sich zu ändern. Sie haben glückliche Zeiten, spielen am Strand und verlieben sich. Doch irgendwann kommt Bob zurück...
Während dieser Geschichte laufen auch im Hintergrund viele Pop- und Rocksongs von damals (Steppenwolf, Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, Stones und Simon & Garfunkel). Die Darsteller agieren beeindruckend in diesem Kriegsfilm, bei dem keinerlei Kriegshandlungen zu sehen sind - aber dennoch sind die Gefühle dieser Menschen, die dies durchmachten, sehr greifbar.
