Some songs

As a person who knows little about American history and culture, he can't actually understand many of the jokes and satires in the film. But these are not important anymore. For me, these songs have brought me much more than others.
Until now, I know that Puff the magic dragon turned out to be a sad song, just like the hero and heroine in the film, and they will be separated after all. Starting from the difference in tomato, the gap between two people is so difficult to bridge.
If the rock music in the first half is a kind of irony, when Louis Amrstrong's What a wonderful world sounded, I didn't feel a trace of irony anymore, but a mixture of sadness, compassion and helplessness. It was also at this time that people saw the compassionate feelings hidden under this seemingly crazy heart.
As a radio DJ who can only bring sound to the audience, pouring all his feelings into the radio waves, this kind of remote and intimate feeling, I seem to only experience it from the radio. Compared with other anti-war films, this film has no cruel scenes of war, and there are not too many conflicts. With only one person and his broadcast, I can feel involved even after the war is over. The cry of the people in the war.
There is a song called A kiss to build a dream on, also from Louis Amrstrong. For me, let these songs take me to my dream.

    Both inside and outside are telling one thing: whether you are popular or not, whether your words and deeds are appropriate, and whether you can implement your plan as you wish, many times it may be just wishful thinking, and it is impossible for a small individual to guess the cause and effect. The camera switches of several major scenes are smooth and compact, like film passing by on the projector, showing the meticulous care of scheduling and editing. The director thinks about the Vietnam War from a whole new perspective. Robin also gave two hours of wonderful performance.

    The "Good Morning Vietnam" program hosted by Connor was deeply loved by American soldiers on the front lines of the Vietnam War. His humorous style brought rare laughter to everyone and eased the already tense battlefield atmosphere. There are almost no bloody and violent scenes of indiscriminate bombing of planes and tanks and machine guns in the whole plot, but against the background of the funny and humorous atmosphere of "Good Morning Vietnam", it is the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and the people are ravaged and innocent by the war. Such a contrast is a slack effect, highlighting the real ruthlessness and cruelty of war, hoping to stay away from war and be peaceful.

Good Morning, Vietnam quotes

  • Richard Nixon: [Adrian has inserted his voice onto the press conference with Nixon] As I leave Vietnam today there will be no doubt in my mind that the Viet cong will be defeated. And this war will be won. It does involve as you have suggested give and take.

    Lt. Steven Hauk: Why would Cronauer's voice be on this tape?

    Private Abersold: I don't know, sir.

    Adrian Cronauer: Mr Nixon, thank you for that concise political commentary, but I think I'd rather delve into a more personal for the men in the field. How would you describe your testicles?

    Richard Nixon: [Hauk turns to the radio in horror] That they're soft and they're very shallow and they serve no purpose.

    Adrian Cronauer: How would you describe your sex life with your wife Pat?

    Richard Nixon: It is unexciting sometimes.

Mr. Nixon it is rumored that you have smoked marijuana. Are you planning to take some of the marijuana home back to the United States? How would you do that?

    Richard Nixon: By plane. By helicopter and also by automobile.

  • Censor #1: [Adrian sees the story about the bombing that he witnessed and he starts taking it to the control room, going past the two censors] What do you think you're doing? You know you're forbidden to read anything not checked by this office.

    Adrian Cronauer: What was there to check? I was there.

    Censor #1: You know the rules, airman. If this is a legitimate news story, it must go through proper channels.

    Adrian Cronauer: Look, tweedledee, it's an actual event.

    [referring to the blood on his shirt]

    Adrian Cronauer: What do you think this came from? Shaving? It's the truth. I just want to report the truth. It'll be a nice change of pace.

    Sgt. Major Dickerson: What's going on here?

    Adrian Cronauer: Sir, will you listen to me?

    Adrian Cronauer: It did happen.

    Sgt. Major Dickerson: You shut your mouth!

    Adrian Cronauer: What are you afraid of Dickerson? People might find out there's a war going on?

    Sgt. Major Dickerson: This news is not official.

    Adrian Cronauer: You wanna know the assumption is perfectly safe around here? Well, it's not. The fighting's not in the hills, it's downtown. It's a

    [shouts]

    Adrian Cronauer: couple of fucking blocks!

    Sgt. Major Dickerson: I said it's none of your goddamn business!

    Adrian Cronauer: I see your point. I'm sorry. Once I get inside and hit these air conditioners I get a little dizzy. Thanks for setting me straight.
