I agree Torontrayne, about the surreal feeling of the FMJ ending. To me it's one of those films in which I've never thought of a single character as an actor, though I guess I started doing that past a certain point in life and I was probably in my teens when I saw it the first time.
Y'all can laugh at me for liking this, it's OK, but it really makes the hairs on my arms stand every time. Bernard Hill is ace at delivering these Tolkien speeches, where is the horse and the rider etc.
