	Courage Under Fire
		Courage Under Fire does an admirable job of trying to capture the often painful process of soldiers trying to make sense of their experiences upon their return from the war.
		Courage Under Fire, like the double meaning of its title, is subtle in ways, but is a powerful depiction of the meaning of courage.
		Courage Under Fire is as profound and intelligent as it is moving, and that makes this memorable motion picture one of 1996's best.

	Courage Under Fire: Special Edition (1996)
		Little about Courage Under Fire surprised me. The notion that Serling would find controversy about Walden’s actions was virtually inevitable, and the manner in which the matters are explored follows a very predictable path.
		Courage Under Fire appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Courage Under Fire contributes a few supplements, the most significant of which is a running, screen-specific audio commentary from director Ed Zwick.

	Filmtracks: Courage Under Fire (James Horner)
		Courage Under Fire: (James Horner) Coming off of the extraordinary year in which he had composed Braveheart, Apollo 13, and Legends of the Fall, among others, James Horner suffers a sort of lapse during 1996 and 1997 until Titanic would forever change his career.
		There is one moment in Courage Under Fire when Horner does something incredibly unique; at the start of track two, he uses the sound effects of helicopter ignition and the gradual increase in blade whooshes that eventually blend into (and yield to) the orchestra.
		There are other examples of where elements in Courage Under Fire would eventually end up, but the most important impression to keep in mind about this score is that everything you hear within it would later be produced in a superior form by Horner.

		I had been inspired to meet her by the footage of her blocking Israel Defence Force tanks as they fired over her head, and stories of her standing in the line of fire between soldiers and Palestinian children, as the IDF threatened to "make her a hero".
		Caoimhe was shot in the left thigh as she stood in between a firing IDF tank and three young boys in the street.
		She is sure she was a direct target; the tank was close by, the soldier pointed his gun at her and fired, and continued to do so as she crawled to an alleyway for shelter.

	Newsmakers: Courage Under Fire
		To prevent fire from reaching the homes, he used his shovel, a chainsaw, and anything else he could get his hands on to create a clearance between the homes and the nearby orange and eucalyptus trees.
		Firefighters were working to contain the fire a few streets away, so Nona and his neighbors were the only ones on their street trying to save the homes.
		In all, 15 large fires were responsible for consuming more than 750,000 acres during the worst of the fires between Oct. 21 and Nov. 4 in San Diego and Los Angeles counties, resulting in the destruction of 3,640 homes, 33 commercial properties, and 1,141 other structures.

	Review: Courage Under Fire
		Courage Under Fire shows us another face of war's horrors, although this particular perspective is less bleak than that of a Platoon or an Apocalypse Now.
		Those movies were brutally effective because they reveled in bleakness, cynicism, and carnage; Courage Under Fire gains its power by affirming that the cost of war isn't the inevitable eradication of every trace of human dignity and heroism.
		Courage Under Fire ends with a moment of catharsis, but there are no overblown speeches -- only a simple, quiet scene that touches the heart more profoundly than anything accomplished by melodramatic manipulation.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Courage Under Fire
		Then again, when a drama is as solidly built as Courage under Fire, a summer release gives it all the more time to sit in theaters and build momentum.
		But to give Walden the medal IF she didn't deserve it would dishonor his seventeen-year commitment to his country, dishonor the meaning of the medal and, more importantly (to him), dishonor the memory of the men killed by his friendly fire order.
		Courage Under Fire is rock solid, deeply layered storytelling.

		OR a nascent democracy that was being repressively trampled under by a Canute-like king, Nepal has risen with remarkable resolve to march ahead for consolidating the gains of the struggle for popular rule.
		Then came the issue of whether the king should be accorded a ceremonial role under the new constitution or should Nepal declare itself a republican state.
		Under coalition supervision since 2001, what has passed for government in the south amounts mostly to “corrupt, local warlords who allied themselves with U.S. forces,” said Abdul Qadar Noorzai, the director in Kandahar of Afghanistan’s government human rights commission.

		"They're" talking Oscars for "Courage Under Fire" by which I mean to say that the publicists over at 20th Century Fox are beating studio tom-toms to ensure that this week's release racks up a few nominations next February.
		Hey, he knows he has to say that and I know he has to say that, but with all due respect to the radio and television reviewers whose assessments are splashed on the opening week adverts, "Courage Under Fire" is NO masterpiece.
		But "Courage Under Fire" is the dullest movie I have seen all year long and I hope that nothing else turns up in the next six months to equal its record for predictability.

	Courage Under Fire
		Racked with guilt upon the War's end, Serling is effectively demoted and the 'friendly fire' incident is quietly swept under the carpet.
		Although her role is shown entirely in flashback, hers is the pivotal one and, in a way, the most difficult to portray convincingly.
		It is a damning indictment of war that Duncan puts over - in which the lines between courage and cowardice can become blurred by a simple difference of opinion, and where good men become tortured souls after heat of the moment decisions prove terribly wrong.

		Courage Under Fire was true to the CAP comparative baseline database findings for an R movie (See CAP Methodology).
		While the movie might be construed as a tribute to the strength and courage of the heroes who fought in the Gulf War, this movie was fiction.
		Thus, Courage Under Fire was equivalent to the comparative baseline data corresponding to 50% R-rated material and 50% G-rated material.

	Courage Under Fire (1996): Reviews
		The end of the film understandably lays on the emotion a little heavily, but until then Courage Under Fire has been a fascinating emotional and logistical puzzle--almost a courtroom movie, with the desert as the courtroom.
		In Washington's haunted eyes, in the stunning cinematography of Roger Deakins (Fargo) that plunges into the mad flare of combat, in the plot that deftly turns a whodunit into a meditation on character and in Zwick's persistent questioning of authority, Courage Under Fire honors its subject and its audience.
		At the end of Courage Under Fire, you feel torn between admiration and annoyance with the filmmakers.
