I don’t like these type of movies , I like mean girls 2004 and Disney lol

Poopy head behaviour, is what Vietnam was all about.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Poop on your head.

It is well made, yet the most graphic Vietnam film I have ever seen about appalling behavior and attitudes from US bunnies who didn't BELONG there. Championing this behavior is appalling as well.

Yes you are better off just forgetting that scene.

That just might be why I forgot about it.

It was the most memorable scene of the whole movie, the first time I saw it I never forgot it. It was a friendly fire incident, American jets dropped canisters of napalm on their own troops. It was witnessed by Joe Galloway, the photographer in the movie, his buddy who I think is Japanese extraction, is hit and literally half his body has been incinerated, his skin is melting off as he tries to pick him up. It is an absolutely stomach churning scene, all true as well, and why I tend to avoid this film when it comes to rewatches.

By George, you are
correct!
I had forgotten about that scene.

It's gotten much better over the years. I remember being very disappointed when I first saw it, bit it stands up better to repeat viewings. I can't watch the napalm scene. Jesus Christ. They should outlaw that ****. No way for a human to die.

Maybe. Still an excellent film!

This was undermining the authenticity right away, like Kubrick did with Full Metal Jacket, but his film had a surreal feel about it which I'd say was partly deliberate.
True. I think FMJ got away with it because they kept it in the city or the base camp, they never went out into the jungle.
ps I'm not a big fan of FMJ, but the Hue City set they built (I think in the London docklands) was tremendous.
I thought the film was directed fine by Wallace, I just didn't like its stance. Platoon knew what it wanted to say and didn't set out to glorify its soldiers and hold them up to reverence or martyrs.
There's always been something missing about the film that I can't quite put my finger on. It
should
have been a great war movie with the set up. I can only assume it's because of Mel Gibson starring but not directing. I feel the same about The Patriot, decent movie but could've been better, which I think Mel should've directed as well. Meanwhile some of my favorite war films, Braveheart & Hacksaw Ridge, were directed by Gibson. I think he must've been the difference. I guess Mel thought he was too old to direct and star in war movies by that stage.

They also should've filmed it in SE Asia instead of California, knew it was filmed in America straight away!

I thought it should've been much better than it is. In fact, I think it would've been much better if Mel Gibson directed it, since Gibson has a knack for war films and battle scenes in particular. They also should've filmed it in SE Asia instead of California, knew it was filmed in America straight away!

True dat.

We should have stayed out of that war.

No, I served in the US Army. What part of that do you not understand, numb nuts?

You chose

service like her nephew did.
My password is password.

Yes we do. BTW, did you know that I served in the US Army?
