　　在于1979年举行的第51届学院奖颁奖典礼上，越战主题影片大获全胜，由Michael Cimino执导的“the deer hunter”（《猎鹿人》）获得最佳影片、导演、剪辑、男配角Christopher Walken（克里斯多夫·沃肯）、音效五项大奖，另有男主角Robert De Niro（罗伯特·德尼罗）、女配角Meryl Streep（梅丽尔·斯特里普）、原著剧本、摄影四项提名，而由Hal Ashby执导的这一部“coming home”则得到了最佳影片、导演、男主角Jon Voight、剪辑、女主角Jane Fonda、原著剧本、女配角Penelope Milford、男配角Bruce Dern八项提名，最终获得男、女主角奖和原著剧本奖。

　　以今天的眼光看来，虽然“coming home”当年在最重要的最佳影片、导演两个奖项上都不敌“the deer hunter”，但是其艺术成就却完全不亚于后者，两部影片都多少属于描绘“越战后遗症”的类型，但是与“the deer hunter”直接描写越南战场上以生命为赌注的“俄罗斯轮盘”不同的是，“coming home”将主视角放在了美国本土，准确地说，是设立在California的一家伤兵医院。Jon Voight扮演的男主角Luke Martin在战场上负伤，不得不与轮椅为伴，并且因此而失去了生活的信心与勇气，而由Jane Fonda扮演的女护士Sally Hyde却在照顾Luke的日子里，不知不觉地爱上了他，然而，Sally已经是一个妻子，丈夫也是一位军官，两人的感情又将何去何从呢？

　　在这部影片中，演员的精彩演技是最重要的戏份，Luke身躺上病床上那不甘就此没落但却又无可奈何的眼神可谓是出神入化，而Sally为了重新激起Luke对生活的信心和对幸福的渴望，跨上轮椅对其进行挑逗的一场戏，更是令人感动得热泪盈眶，甚至于会对于那些以往传统观念会认为很什么什么、不知什么什么的女性行为，都开始有了完全不同的了解和认识，并产生了崇高的敬意！

　　影评倒是写过不少，不过像这个片子这样来写内容简介的经验的确是不多，可能写得太笼统太浅了吧，不过从另一个角度上来说，好的电影，是不需要太过详细和“精确”的内容简介的。

IMDB上的简介：
Sadly and surprisingly relevant, "Coming Home" offers the perspective of one man who's war experience renders him not only paralyzed but unable to deny his own real life experience as a wartime soldier to the extent that he can continue supporting his government's patriotic dogma that one man should kill, torture or oppress other soldiers, men, women and children to defend motives he now views, from a wheelchair, as questionable. Awakening to this perspective is a woman who, attempting to aid the war effort and make herself useful during her husband's time of military service to his country, volunteers her time at the local Veteran's Hospital.

As she encounters the soldiers just returned battle with countless physical and psychological wounds too deep to enable their return to duty, she begins to understand the impossibility of their task to "get back to a normal life" and starts a longer journey out from under her own unquestioning acceptance of obeying principles that manufacture circumstances that make the peaceful pursuits of love and family inconceivable.

Her own husband does return to her, an officer who spent his tour of duty doing what he has accepted all of his life is the "right thing" for his country but he, too, is terribly damaged by what he has seen. When he discovers that he has returned to a wife that has broken both the sanctity of their marriage and the very foundation of their commonality as people - namely, upholding the belief that you must endure and inflict and perpetuate the tortures of Hell, itself, if your government demands it of you - he is unable to find a way forward in his life. As the last institutions that served as the structure of his sanity and happiness are wrenched out from under him, he faces a void too horrible to walk into and turns to the only way out that he can perceive.

This film is shot in what seems a sincere approach to relating the stories that were, immediately post-viet nam, being widely reported of and experienced by those U.S. men and women returning from service. It attempts, via narrative, to correlate them to the cultural experiences of the public. It seems to try to offer insight into the collective trauma inflicted by the very idea that war, as an institutional means of problem solving, is an acceptable and patriotic belief that merits the sacrifice of our lives and sanity.

Though the film definitely has its own perspective, it maintains respect for each of the characters represented. It remains the imperative of each viewer to decide the question for themselves.
