Just watched this the other day, and couldn't find a thread on it. Thoughts? Opinions? Nightmares after watching it?

Still getting nightmares, and I haven't seen it since 1991.

I saw it in the movies, I think I was a sophmore in HS. We had to sit in the front row because it was the only place with 10 seats available. 4 of the people had to leave because they were too freaked out. I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on.

Really weird movie, also entertaining. Tim Robbins does a great job(when doesn't he?).

It's about a guy who was a soldier in Vietnam, and there is a lot of flashing back and forth between Vietnam and an attack where he gets seriously wounded and his life after the war. I can't give much more away than that, other than it is really dark and trippy and disturbing at a very visceral level.

The plot is ripped from some twilight zone episode, but I really liked it.
