but for me it's the epic scope of it that does it. it's a "big" movie that maybe doesn't achieve 100% in the execution but the ambition of the projects is just great.
it begins with a prosperous and vigorous working class with immigrant origins (the american dream!) and it ends with broken fucked up people singing "god bless america" in the saddest of ways
great cinematography etc and other things but the way the stupid war destroys everything at home is just fucking brilliant.
