    In Vietnam in the 1950s, the French colonial forces, the United States, the Viet Cong, and even its own party forces were split. Under the struggle between all parties, the people who were directly facing the cruelest were the people. ..."They said that when you come to Vietnam, you will learn a lot in a few minutes, but you have to experience the others. No matter what you are looking for, you can find it here. They say that every house has ghosts. If you can Live peacefully with him and he...

    Much like Chinese Box, it belongs to a Southeast Asian setting that is mostly self-playing themes, and the political environment is substituted (even sometimes I feel that the meaning of political films is too strong to be on par with South American coup-themed films), but there is still no Southeast Asian film. The texture, when I thought about it later, actually didn't produce that kind of climate. A movie that really takes place in Vietnam must make people feel hot flashes all the...

    Use personal emotions to set off the political situation, delicate, deep and swaying. The Vietnamese customs are not only a rare sense of mystery, but also the inherent tolerance of Asian culture and the helplessness in the contemporary turbulent pattern. A masterpiece that is both literary and...

    "Sooner or later you have to choose to support a certain party, as long as you still have humanity..." In the wrestling of various political forces, who can know that their humanity has chosen the right party, and who can guarantee that they are not blind Like, when everything is settled, if the dust can really settle, then you will find that any party is just an inhuman cruel existence, and the unlucky people are always innocent people in the end. ....

    6/10. The original only suggested that the United States was the mastermind behind some terrorist activities, but the movie will make it clear that Pyle, who was a doctor when Fowler went to the barracks to interview General Thai, was also there. Later, Pyle grabbed the weapons of the puppet army in the sentry tower to stop it. Surrendering to the Viet Cong and pointing fingers at the police at the bombing site show that the Americans seem to have come to selflessly heal Vietnam's democracy,...

    If you watch the drama before reading the book, it feels like a small story without any waves. Now, when I read the novel, I hope and have a hunch that it will be like "If you don't read the original book, this movie is quite satisfactory. After reading the original book, you can only be disappointed with the...
