I watched Part II with my 9 year old last night. She was very confused by the movie’s prediction of the “future”. And the shark still looks fake.

“The Things They Carried” is the book that made me want to be a writer. This thought me how powerful stories can be. “Matterhorn” is the finest war story I’ve ever read. Truly an epic. Read these.
