 |  | Gives clarity to war and race |  |
Cadence examines some of the constraints of war - losing a parent with no time to grieve. Bean's grief lead him to getting a tattoo on his hands, against military rule. He landed in a an all black stockade with a racist leader. Bean's most valuabe lessons came when he blended with the other inmates after a rocky start. This movie showed racism from an entirely different perspective - the Vietnam War. The inmates banded together, black and white, showing how circumstances such as war can take away any unimportant differences and allow people to see people for who they are, not their skin color.
April 12, 2008The movie is okay, which puts it above and beyond a lot of "movies" out there. It has it's: slow moments, scenes that really don't add anything to the story, memorable lines, strong points. Basically, I'ld rent it before I bought it.
July 1, 2007the movie was clear and crisp just as if it just came out for the first time i recieved the movie quickly and packed excellently
June 3, 2007I didn't get the video for myself. It was a gift for a friend, But I can honestly tell you, that I have seen the movie and it is a very good movie! Sometimes I wish I would have kept the movie for myself, but I had promised a friend I would give them the video as a gift.
May 15, 2007I first saw Cadence over 10 years ago and have only now acquired it on DVD. The movie has a simple but compact plot that really works for me and I believe the interaction between the prisoners and their new room mate (Charlie Sheen)was very well put together.
The "Cadence" they march to when going to work detail or chow is an integral part of the story and the action that goes with it will make you smile. The story line wasn't full of intrigue or special effects. It is about a group of prisoners in a Military stockade, their guards and their Commander (Martin Sheen) and their day to day life. Throw in a project to fix a windmill and the Guard Commander with problems of his own and you have a movie well worth watching.
