Taking chance

That emotionally charged, moving film had its debut on HBO February 19. It tells the true story of the death of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps in Iraq in 2004 and the journey that Marine Lt. Col. Mike Strobl underwent after he volunteered to escort the body from Dover Air Force Base to Phelps’ hometown of Dubois, Wyoming. Strobl’s journal of that moving journey is the heart of the film.

After watching this movie i had lots of thoughts the main one is that the human relations and grief and sorrow is the same all over the world ... whether it's an american soldier is dead or just a normal arabian in baghdad, it's just the same sorrow and grief, and i petty all these young men gone for war by their politicians and causing all this pain and sorrow not just to the victim's family but to a whole bunch of people ... it's a great movie to see and in the end it's a dream that's nearly impossible to come true but i really wish we put all wars all over the world to an end :(
