Question for those who have seen "In the Valley of Elah". (MAJOR SPOILER WITHIN)
Great movie. As much as I enjoyed Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, I think Tommy Lee Jones may have deserved the Oscar more.
My question regards the package Mike sent to himself that contained the American flag and the photo addressed to his dad. Do you think that this meant that Mike knew or assumed he was going to die?
I figured it was the flag from his vehicle or something representing "this is when I turned.. remember me with this picture and not how/what I have become."
He was obviously suffering from PTSD and I think he was unconciously suicidal. I think maybe on the surface he sent it that way, but I also think that he sent it because whether he took his own life or not, he probably felt his life was over. But thats just my impression. Great movie though
