    Preaching is not the problem, but condescending preaching is the problem. When Palma once again used nightmare as a metaphor for everything, teaching itself became a bone-chilling feeling. Don't think, listen, and forget; be someone who doesn't understand anything, or someone who doesn't care about anything. The film starts with the two scenes of the accidental miss and the unexpected appearance of the god of death as the foreshadowing, and the new death curse begins; just like the stabbed...

    4.5 stars. Parma moved the set of suspense films to Vietnam War films. The scene scheduling and mood were just right. It may be that too many such films reflecting on the Vietnam War in that era made this film underestimated. Too many of these twisted, absurd, horrific things happened in that jungle. Unjust wars give birth to distorted personalities. Unfortunately, no matter how many times the Yankees reflect, they still fall into the role of the initiator in the...

    Sean Penn's face is so long. Did watching too many war movies make me numb? It is really rare for the male protagonist to struggle with such things, but he is still touched by his kindness and rich...

    See the extended version. Underrated movie. The same is the black US military + reflection on the war, this film is more level than the field...

    The translation as "Nie Zhan" is more appropriate than Benming. Sean Penn's performance is a highlight. Others are not prominent in the Vietnam War...

    The Vietnam War complex of American directors, the trauma of the Vietnam War continues from the individual to the collective and the country. The scene scheduling of several plot points still has a strong De Palma style, and the overall expression is trapped in repetitive discourse. From bystanders to perpetrators, it is difficult to get answers to questions, and more importantly, within the system. Come true...

    This kind of war distorts human nature is not bad, but it is too much filmed, and it becomes mediocre if you are not careful. For example, this film is a little too emotional and therefore not strong enough. Later, 18 years later, Brian DePalma re-shot another Iraq war version of trauma with almost the same theme, "Excerpt Revised" is much better than this...

    Clark: I told you, cherry. What happen...

    [Clark is hit in the face by Eriksson with a shovel]

  • Capt. Hill: You couldn't let it rest, could you? You had to push it?

    Eriksson: Go to hell. SIR.
