A shot at reconciliation and In the Valley of Elah

Barack Obama's speech at the Nobel Center was heavily anticipated, and with reason. Many people, me included, has been critical to the new President recieveing the prize. However, his speach silenced us all. His way with words stunned me, and I think that his argumentation for America's wars in the Middle-East made me believe that he is in fact worthy of a peace prize, as he made it quite clear that he is fighting for peace. I also think that the speech itself is almost magical, and his choice of words are of another world.

We also watched "In the Valley of Elah," and I think Tommy Lee Jones did a great role as the father trying to figure out what happened to his son. I think it shows the negative effects of being in combat and in war, as many people suffer from post-traumatic disorders when they arrive back in their home country, and their regular life.
