Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

The Marines have landed! Cpl. Eddie Birdlace and three buddies are on the loose among San Francisco's bars, tattoo parlors and blue-movie houses. They've also organized a "dogfight," a wager with simple rules. Each guy puts in $50. And the one who finds the most unattractive date wins. Birdlace finds Rose. River Phoenix gave one of his most endearing performances as Eddie in Dogfight, a terrific and touching Vietnam-era saga set to a memory-evoking '60s-tunes soundtrack and directed by Nancy Savoca (True Love, Household Saints). Lili Taylor is equally indelible as "ugly duckling" Rose, who joins Eddie in a night of life-transforming impact. In a time to be marked by huge changes, they share the most dynamic change of all: love.

I found the musical first but the movie is just as amazing. it captures the essence of the story so well that it made me feel like i was experiencing it myself. The actors were extraordinary. This movie is about TRUE love - the love of someone who knows your worst parts and still accepts you, who grows to love you, it brings you tears, laughter and heartache and the sweet, awkward taste of young love. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ONE OF MY TOP TEN FILMS BY FAR. Also watch the musical the songs are immense.
