I just caught "Courage Under Fire" for the first time since its initial release. I'd forgotten how powerful it was and how superior the performers -- Washington, Phillips, the young Matt Damon, and especially Meg Ryan (proving she's so much more than "adorable"). More than anything, as I watched it I wondered: "Courage Under Fire" (only seven years old) is, to put it mildly, skeptical of the U.S. military establishment. In today's rah-rah, jingoistic, lowest-common-denominator-pleasing megaconglomerate Hollywood, could a film like this ever get made?
