Audience Reviews for Year That Trembled
5.5/10. So-so drama, bland and tedious at times. It just does not have deep characters, this is where it fails. The characters just don't draw you into the film, you just don't care about them or what happens to them. Very empty and unemotional. Pointless film. Decent cinematography and score.

The Year That Trembled (2002) ? ?Nothing changes, not in politics.? ? Phil Robbins.
?Trembled? is one-part college kid anxiety over the 1970 Vietnam lottery draft and another-part dramatization of the legal aftermath of the Kent State shootings. It?s an interesting story with decent performances and a good balance between the serious and the silly. Unfortunately, the recorded audio levels on the DVD had me constantly reaching for the controller - that part was maddening.
I recommend the film most for the historical perspective. About thirty-five years ago, more and more Americans grew tired with the war in Vietnam and began their struggle to get us out. It was Dick Nixon then, Dick Cheney now; Spiro T. Agnew then, and George W. Bush now. What did the modern war machine learn from the experience of the Old Guard? Don?t kill off so many boys and girls that you need the draft.
