The reason of the beaten generation

Uncle Depp plays an American soldier who can speak Vietnamese. He is gentle and loving, but he is seriously injured and left behind by his comrades. When death is so common, you can even kill your comrades who should depend on your life for your own desires. And was Chris' last shot just to avenge Elias? Even if he leaves the battlefield, the war will stay in his heart forever. They really don't know why, fighting for their freedom, the war itself is ugly. In the ugliness, his own ugliness seems to be called out. Sometimes there are too many war movies. Burning, killing, looting, and looting seem to be commonplace. For people like Chris and Elias, kindness and humanity are the same. In the end, Elias was shot and killed by his comrades, and pursued and killed by the enemy. No one went back to rescue him, was knocked down and stood up again, and was knocked down again. Finally, he swung his arms high and fell down. Chris said that Barnes and Elias are like his two fathers, teaching him two sides of life and human nature. It turns out that Tom's "Born on July 4th" was also filmed by the director, but it is more focused on the collapse of values after the Vietnam War veterans returned to their country. What they believed in fighting for justice and freedom was politics. It's not just that soldiers who died in battle are sacrifices, they are all sacrifices, they are all sacrifices of war. It's all the sacrifice of politics. Politics is like the lieutenant who didn't understand and killed his comrades. Born in the age of peace, a peaceful country no longer has to face war directly and is not directly affected, but I still pray that there will be no war in any corner of this world.

Elijah was killed by his own people. The poster with his knees upside down is still fresh in my memory. Oh, the Vietnam War has always been such a theme, human nature, crime, violence..

Movies are very political, and although they are classics, war movies are not my thing. For the few minutes when Depp appeared, he resisted the entire movie. am i easy?

Bunny: [to Private Taylor] Fucking pussy, man. He's laughing at you. That's the way the gook laughs.
[to Vietnamese villager]
Bunny: Yeah, sure you are. You're real sorry, ain't you? You're just crying your little hearts out about Sandy and Sal and Manny.
Sgt. O'Neill: Forget about it, Bunny, huh? Let's go. What do you say?
[Bunny hits the Vietnamese villager over the head with the butt of his shotgun]
Bunny: Holy shit! You see that fucking head come apart, man? I never seen brains like that before, man. I bet you the old bitch runs the whole fucking show, man. She probably cut Manny's throat. She would probably cut my balls off if she had the chance.
Sgt. O'Neill: Bunny, we leave now. Nobody saw a fucking thing! You understand me, Taylor? Not a fucking thing.
Bunny: Fucking woman, man. Come on, man, let's fucking do her, man. Let's do this whole fucking village!
