Wtf is a “people heart”? You mean Purple Heart?
It’s interesting that the link you posted indicates the purple hearts he received were probably part of the surplus manufactured in WWII, in anticipation of the losses they expected in the invasion of Japan, which never happened.
When I was 3-4 years old I would rent this movie every weekend. I have no fucking idea why my parents let me watch this all the time.
I saw it when it came out, in a theater. When the movie ended you could not hear anyone, nobody moved and when we exited, the silence was eerie. I was exhausted. The movie is intense+
Well, the movie was made by a veteran.
Sneaking those two people’s hearts past customs must have been a doozy.
