Goodbye, vietnam

Just as a Vietnam War film, "Good Morning, Vietnam" is still worth seeing. Different from the obscurity of "Full Metal Shell" and the straightforwardness of "Field Platoon"-there is hardly any description of the battle scene in "Good Morning". So what happened in the first hour of the film was just the sound studio, the radio waves, the streets, the sunshine, and the American soldiers listening to jokes boredly. The pop songs of the 1960s and 1970s were mixed with a lethal American-style radio DJ. It seems that this is really an auxiliary police force around Saigon, the frontier province of the empire-President Johnson’s "police defense operation", not a B-52 bomber full of defoliants spreading terror at a distance of 30,000 feet With the plague.

As usual, it is the traditional Hollywood routine, the protagonist is lively, kind-hearted and individualistic. The beautiful swords of the celestial kingdom are omnipotent to pay for everything, and their eclectic methods of picking up girls conquer the Vietnamese version of Gao Yuanyuan's sister (isn't it familiar?). I willingly believe that Cronauer and all the other colonial soldiers really set foot on this damp land with a red heart dedicated to internationalism. However, the muzzle of the trial was eager, fierce, materialistic, and did not install a focusing lens. In the eyes of the Viet Cong, the green-hat soldiers are and only a group of brutal devils. THEY ARE JUST ENEMYS-This is reflected in Yuanyuan's body. Just think about how painful it would be to be with a member of her mother's enemy.

However, in the hands of some media, whenever the group's evil deeds are difficult to cover up, the individual's kindness becomes "independent" and "sublimated" as a fig leaf and wiping paper for evil. Throughout the history of American-made Vietnam War films, the reasons for the anti-war were all based on the illusory reason of "humanity·struggle" instead of being implemented in the secular definition of "unjust war and aggression against other countries" which is difficult to face up. Just like when WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD sounded, the feared American troops were executed randomly in the streets and the city border helicopters step by step destroyed the villages that might cover the Viet Cong. While doing evil, while facing his own situation willingly, what if the German piloted a Junker fighter in the wild on the outskirts of Buffalo? Double standard. I think it was this lack of culture that was rampant that led to the complete defeat of that empire in the face of weak nations.



Goodbye, Vietnam. That is not your land. It's not your land, you can't find happiness here. It's like a period of time, perhaps sweet, but it will eventually pass. When it finally passed, all that was tasted was the dry memories.

    One-Man Show is an example of the actor's influence on the film; on the whole, it is straightforward to instill on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is not willing to reflect on it, like a model show.

    The drama is shocking, in the same way as Ultraman's Army Field Hospital, the comedy satirizes the cruel real life. The plot of the film is smooth and the soundtrack is beautiful and memorable. Williams is a perfect performance~
