I remember that when I was in college in the late 1980s, a bunch of people watched the video and only knew that it was a great movie, but I couldn’t remember the story at all.
Human nature may be more vividly reflected in war. In fact, American society is not a society made up of people with such different human natures. The brilliance of humanity will eventually triumph over the ugliness of humanity, because this is America. Therefore, the United States is neither heaven nor hell, but the United States is still at the forefront of the world.

    In this movie, I saw the shadow of Japanese devils from the American military. They burned, killed, looted, and even raped. This movie made me a little disgusted with American soldiers, and I also started to understand Japanese soldiers a little. The Vietnam War is really not a good war movie, I watched it uncomfortably.

    The setting of the scene is good. Personal heroic anti-war, too idealistic.
