      Non-movie review for personal use

      The reasons for the Vietnam War are not explained, which mainly depicts the brutality of the war.

      A pair of French soldiers killed in an ambush in Vietnam

      The American conscription sent the male lead to lead the 7th cavalry regiment. It is called the cavalry regiment. In fact, it should be a paratrooper. The male lead was once a paratrooper.

      The male protagonist and the soldiers promised to be the first to set...

      nice movie

      The melody is still a familiar melody, but the soup inside is different from the others. There are several very good clips in the movie, especially the one in which Colonel Moore cried bitterly when he faced the dead platoon leader at the end. Soldiers rarely shed tears, but they are not emotionless people. They also feel guilty and lead their brothers away for themselves. The guilt of going to hell and not being able to bring them home. The back clips that are interspersed from time...

      so called patriotism

      I think that the failure of this film is that the thinking introduced at the beginning has not been well answered at the end. For a soldier to kill, he must be given a reasonable purpose. The show is all about exploring that theme.

      First of all, when the battalion commander learned the background of the war, he realized that the war was of an aggressive nature, just like the American war against the Indians in the early days. The worry manifested during training: Are we doing...

      Once a warrior, now a warrior, always a warrior - we were warriors

      It is another film that has been lying in the shadow library for a long time. It seems that I have not seen a few of Gibson's films. The one that impressed me the most should be "Braveheart". There should be confidence in Gibson's script selection.

      The story is about the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Colonel Moore (the name is strange enough) is the trainer of the airborne troops. He needs to be responsible for training the soldiers and then sending them to the Vietnam War...

      Jagged soul has nothing to do with justice

      This is an American-style theme movie, and the heroes portrayed with chivalrous tenderness, loyalty and courage, and perfection. He obeyed the president's call of duty, fulfilled the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and set foot on the unknown battlefield on the other side.
          The bullets in the front fought bloody and bloody, and the back was a letter of death. The bloody battlefield and the sad and helpless eyes of the military sister-in-law are intertwined into a picture of war. The...

    Movie plot

    The 450 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army, under blind command, landed in the central area where the North Vietnamese army was assembled without knowing and unprepared. The North Vietnamese side had already deployed more than 2,000 troops around the landing site, and the soldiers of the First Battalion had to face nearly five times their own enemy. Although they have...

    Authorized

    The film is adapted from the memoir "The Vietnam War experienced by an American soldier" written by former U.S. military lieutenant General Hal Moore and war correspondent Josephine Galloway. Randall Wallace found this book in a bookstore at the airport in 1993, and it was the title that attracted him. Wallace finished reading this book on the flight, and his excitement couldn't calm down, so he decided to try to make it into a movie....

    Evaluation action

    In "We were Warriors", the director reproduced the scenes from the beginning of the Vietnam War from a non-political perspective. The emphasis of the film is on the noble qualities of the soldiers, rather than the negative things in the real situation of the war, such as the soldiers’ questioning and indifference to the war. Therefore, the director avoided the cruel and dark side of war and emphasized American heroism. This kind of...

    Movie quotes

    • Colonel Tim Brown: Last night, the enemy hit our Special Forces camp here at Plei Me.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: How many casualties did we sustain?

      Colonel Tim Brown: None. The enemy forces withdrew here towards this mountain, Chu Pong, that sits right on the Cambodian border. How many men do you have battle ready at your disposal give or take?

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: [to Plumley] Sergeant Major?

      Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: 395 sir... exactly.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: [to Colonel Brown] What do you estimate the enemy strength is?

      Sergeant: We appraise their numbers as manageable.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: [grim tone] You mean... you have no idea?

      Colonel Tim Brown: No, sir. We have no idea. But we have our orders. Simple orders from High Command: find the enemy and kill him. Nothing more.

    • Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: Do you got a death wish, Galloway?

      Joseph Galloway: No, sir.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: Well, then why are you here?

      Joseph Galloway: Cause I knew these dead boys would be here, sir.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: Why aren't you a soldier?

      Joseph Galloway: I just came to take photos.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: You are shittin' me.

      Joseph Galloway: No, sir. I swear to God. Anyway, one had a daughter, one had a son... my grandparents.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: What do you suppose the odds of them having the same shoe size was?

      Joseph Galloway: I don't know, Colonel. It was meant to be, I guess.

      Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: Yeah. Meant to be.

    • Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Can't take no pictures lying down there, sonny. Down, right there.

      Joseph Galloway: I'm a noncombatant, sir.

      Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Ain't no such thing today, boy.
