Home of the Brave plot
"Excitement - Movie of the Year! Suspense! Action! Adventure! You have never seen a motion picture like it!"
Through a series of flashbacks, Home of the Brave describes the emotional breakdown of a young black soldier, Peter Moss. Under examination by a sympathetic medical captain, Moss tells his story and uncovers some of the racist incidents he endured while on a five-man mission on a Japanese island. Repeatedly disfellowshipped and bullied by his white fellow soldiers, Moss has finally succumbed to the pressure. However, it was not his experiences on the island alone that caused the collapse of this black soldier.

From the very beginning of the film, there is weak banter and tension between the characters, and when the black soldier enters the picture, that tension only escalates; the problem is that this tension feels very fake and forced.
Lots of talking, but it failed to captivate at all; we see the scenes via flashbacks, and despite the fairly short running time, they drag on quite a bit. I have rarely been so bored while watching a war film that isn't really a war film, but a forced drama.
