The flashbacks are introduced by folk-song verses in a film that turns out to be a tapestry of 20th-century life. Affairs of the heart compete with affairs of the wallet for center stage. It's an appealing film.

I'm sure there are a lot of Viet Nam vets who wish their psychic pain could be removed as easily as Winkler's. The big lie of "Heroes" is that you can make your pain disappear; the truth, I suspect, is that at best one can only suppress or channel one's pain in another direction.
