IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH is a gripping drama film directed by Paul Haggis, featuring acclaimed actor Tommy Lee Jones in a lead role. Released in 2007, the film explores the profound emotional and psychological impacts of war on soldiers and their families. Based on true events, the story delves into the aftermath of the Iraq War, juxtaposing the struggles of a veteran with the harsh realities that families face when dealing with military service.
Tommy Lee Jones portrays Hank Deerfield, a retired military police officer whose son, Mike, has recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. When Mike goes missing shortly after his return, Hank embarks on a relentless search to discover the truth about his son's disappearance. The film highlights not just the father-son relationship, but also the broader implications of military service and the burden of societal expectations placed upon returning soldiers.
The narrative skillfully weaves together a number of themes, including:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The film vividly portrays the psychological challenges that soldiers face after returning from combat. It opens a dialogue about mental health and the stigma surrounding it.
The Role of Family: Hank's strained relationship with his wife, played by Susan Sarandon, reflects the challenges families face when a loved one comes back changed by war.
Investigation and Truth: As Hank teams up with a local detective, played by Charlize Theron, the film navigates the complexities of uncovering the truth, representing the larger struggle many families face when seeking answers about the circumstances of their loved ones.
Moral Ambiguity of War: Through its narrative, the film raises poignant questions about the morality of military actions and the personal consequences they have on soldiers and civilians alike.
The film's cinematography and score are noteworthy, enhancing the emotional depth and tension throughout. The stark contrasts between military life and civilian life encapsulate the film’s core message, reminding viewers of the sacrifices made in service of the country, often leading to devastating consequences.
IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH is not only a story about a father’s quest for justice; it is a powerful commentary on the cost of war on the human spirit. It encourages audiences to reflect on the real-life implications of conflict and the importance of support systems for veterans. With a compelling performance by Tommy Lee Jones and a thought-provoking script, the film remains a significant piece of cinema that resonates with contemporary discussions on war and its aftermath.
For viewers who appreciate deep, character-driven narratives, IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH offers a poignant and heartfelt experience that invites empathy and understanding for those affected by the ravages of war.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
