My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Men (1950)

Marlon Brando's film debut is about a soldier dealing with life after being paralyzed from the waist down.  There's nothing surprising or overly memorable about this dedication to those who sacrificed so much in honor for our country.  It's enlightening that such a movie was made when it was but the story itself isn't as ground breaking.  Directed by Fred Zinnermann.  Grade: B
