Brilliant, timeless film

Ten years after it was made, this film is more relevant than ever. Glenn Close is brilliant as Col. Cammermeyer.
This film could not have been more well-made. Technically it is sublime. The acting is perfect. The story is clearly told such that any viewer could understand Cammermeyer's situation. And the love story is touching and beautiful.
This film deserves to be seen by every American. It should be required viewing for all American military personnel. It puts a face on the greatest injustice ever inflicted by America's armed forces, an injustice that is still far from being eliminated. It is a story that needs to be told today and every day until Americans wake up and stand up for justice. America's gay soldiers have been abused and had their lives ruined by the US Armed Forces for far too long, even as gay soldiers serve in a far more heroic fashion than their straight counterparts.

A true-life story about an inspiring lady. A 'Must See.'

Yes, we have heard of Dr. Cammermeyer in Australia! She is an inspiring lady and this television movie is a fascinating insight, despite lacking in much of the detail, into her struggle with archaic laws and red tape.
We also get just a glimpse into Dr. Cammermeyer's personal and family life, as well as an opportunity to learn something of the true nature of homosexuality and the life of the homosexual.
This movie is a MUST SEE for everyone, whatever your views might be on this subject. You won't get a hard-sell on the so-called 'gay lifestyle,' but you will gain a greater understanding of the personal side of this issue ... and a greater appreciation for a lady of conscience who couldn't help but pursue truth.
As for the actors, Glenn Close does a fine job and is convincing in the title role. And I always enjoy watching my fellow Aussie, Judy Davis.
