Before this, I had never seen a war film that would have the taste of a literary film. Maybe the director didn't want to make a pure war movie from the beginning! This group of American soldiers went to Vietnam, of course, to fight the war, but they did everything, but the only thing missing was the war. So everything, of course, is inexplicable. There is no purpose at all. In a situation where death may occur at any time, everything is irrelevant, including life, so it is possible to be unscrupulous in the hail of bullets, but there is no soul. I don't know why I was born and why I died.
I have seen several films about the Vietnam War, such as Mel Gibson's "Vietnam War Loyalty", Oliver Stone's "Field Platoon", Stallone's "First Blood", etc. There is also a very old Hong Kong film, It's called "Underground Armory" (it's a movie that demonizes the Viet Cong, with scenes of cutting the scalp and pouring mercury into it, and a show of a foreign woman's dew point, but it was organized by the school to go to the cinema in high school - what a mistake!) . Only this film has the most true meaning. It is not only a reflection on the Vietnam War, but also a reflection on life. It is decadent, confused, degenerate, and mixed with some innocence, and sometimes it is really sad.
The more depraved the happier!
