This kind of balance makes the moments when Oberst gets truly miserable much more compelling. Landlocked Blues starts out chronicling a bad relationship and over the course of six riveting minutes meanders into an antiwar ballad. It is easily the best song written against the war in Iraq, as well as one of the better ones about a decomposing affair. Oberst tops himself with Lua, in which he sings about a lost girl in ways that are not particularly dramatic, just perfectly descriptive...
...mammothly charming Hassan Ibrahim, who has a respectful running dialogue with Marine Capt. Josh Rushing, a fellow so appealingly earnest in a tough job - explaining the U.S. invasion to journalists - that he would be the hero of any other film. (Rushing resigned his commission this year, joining the Veterans? antiwar brigade Operation Truth and saying of the Administration?s purported evidence of Saddam?s WMDs, ?I felt personally duped.?)

A onetime assistant to François Truffaut, he made dozens of films over five decades but gained most acclaim in the 1960s with the spy spoof That Man from Rio, which followed Jean-Paul Belmondo on a global search for a statuette, and the antiwar satire King of Hearts, starring a young Alan Bates as a disillusioned World War I soldier, a flop in France but a longtime art-house cult...
...some melodramatic dialogue what the true conflict in Darin’s life actually is. All we really know is that he fights with his wife, actress Sandra Dee, that he struggles with his health and that he gets booed off the stage after trying to sing an antiwar song at a nightclub. He eventually finds peace, apparently, although it is hard to tell where that comes from...
