Beibei's movie world: http://blog.sina.com.cn/bblovesmovies
I originally thought that the Vietnam I went to would be a poor, backward, messy country. But, fortunately, the cities in southern Vietnam that I saw were completely different from my imagination because of the maturity and development of the tourism industry. At least it was much better than my impression of Cairo, Egypt (although I encountered a mobile phone grab by the speeding party in Ho Chi Minh. tragedy). Because Vietnam is anti-China, I only chose southern cities in Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh, Mui Ne, Da Lat and Nha Trang. It is the original Saigon city as the background city in the movie.
I don’t want to repeat Vietnam’s anti-China issue because of historical issues. But perhaps it was also due to historical issues. Although there were too many white travelers in the southern Vietnamese city I went to, most of them came from Russia and Europe. Anyway, I didn't hear any pure American accent pronunciation along the way. I think this historical issue is related to the background described in Good Morning Vietnam.
One of the reasons I like American movies is that the public has a free voice. This kind of freedom and democracy is often reflected in the themes of movies. They dare to criticize the historical mistakes they have made, and they dare to reflect on what they have done. After watching the movie, I also specifically checked the Vietnam War. No matter what purpose the US government was involved in Vietnam’s internal affairs at the time, they finally admitted that their “mixing” in Vietnam was a mistake. Just as the themes and images that the director selectively reflects in the movie are the same, the most innocent are the local people in Vietnam and the soldiers who left their homes and came to Vietnam. They need to regroup through the joking and optimism of the DJ, because they are people who are led by the nose. They only know to obey the leadership of their superiors, but they don't know that they sacrifice their lives just to satisfy the ambitions of the big bosses above. That's it. Thinking of it, they are just as pitiful. The director is smart because he is not biased to sympathize with the Vietnamese natives, nor is he biased to sympathize with the young American soldiers who sacrificed their lives. He just neutrally brings the war to the Americans, and the psychological changes of the Vietnamese are objective. Show up. This technique is not uncommon in many war movies, but every time I watch it, I still have lingering fears.
Especially the song "what a wonderful day", what a melodious and positive energy song, but the picture is explosion, brutality, death, blood flow and grief. Don't let the sacrifice of innocent people become a stepping stone to satisfy the ambitions of the big bosses.
