    Looking back on everything now, we are not against the enemy but ourselves. The enemy is in our heart. The war is over for me. It’s over now, but it will always stay in my heart. Ilya and Barn will continue to fight, and I will sometimes I feel that I am the son of those two fathers, but in any case, we have the responsibility to rebuild society and teach others what we know. We use the time left to try to find the meaning of...

    Many people think this is a bit non-mainstream in the Vietnam War film, but they can't tell the strangeness. In fact, Oliver Stone is very smart in choosing an absolute small structure to explain the war. The whole movie has no heroes, no main story, no absolute external contradictions. The director focuses all attention on the inner struggle and confusion of people in the war. This non-mainstream approach at the time has gained a lot....

    Compared with films such as "Black Hawk Down" and "The Hurt Locker", Stone has a significantly deeper understanding of violence. There is neither heroism nor deliberate description of death. When American soldiers shoot and kill Vietnamese civilians, they are better able It reflects the distortion and loss of control caused by war. When faced with fighting everywhere, who can tell who is right or wrong? The real mistake is war, but it is a pity that war is like the atmosphere of a film, with...

    After Charlie Sheen was really famous at the time, the public lover, if he didn't ruin his future, he could completely follow the Tom Cruise route. What is it...

    The good thing about this film is that it is honest enough and deep enough. It does not cover up certain behaviors in the war. It also shows the various mentalities of ordinary soldiers very...

    As I celebrated the New Year, I watched a US-Vietnamese war movie released in the year I was born-sometimes we have to make enemies in our lives to launch confrontations with others. It's just because we can't face ourselves truly-the real enemy comes from the ugliness in our...

    I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us....

    1. A reindeer appeared in the grass. There can be no reindeer in Vietnam, the symbol is very obvious-happiness and peace of mind. 2. I don't like Oliver Stone's black and white and color conversion in "Born Murderer", but a color conversion in "Field Platoon" is quite...

    Elias urged his friend not to be so cruel, but suffered a crack in their relationship. Barnes even more suspected that Elias made a small report to his boss, and the friendship turned into jealousy. So, in a jungle war, he carried everyone on his back and pulled the trigger at...

    Different from the previous Vietnam War movies, it sings praises to the army blindly. The impeccable American soldiers defeated the evil and incompetent little Viet Cong. It is a classic anti-war movie out of reality. The dark side of the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War was completely exposed. Village killings, torture, rape, encroachment, drug abuse, self-harm, fear of war, mutual harm and suspicion between fellow robes, etc., are nothing like a savage army in a backward country. The righteous...

    Is war good or bad?

    Elias - represents the "defensive" war of humanity and justice, and even the attack appears to be every step of the way, and the grass and trees are all soldiers; Barnes - reflects the "offensive" war of power and expansion, and the slaughter is disorderly.
    The protagonist is a contradictory body....

    After watching the movie, there are bullets in my heart

    Although the mainstream American public opinion did not give this excellent war movie too much praise due to national sentiment, it cannot shake its outstanding position in the history of war movies. This Vietnam War movie, shot in 1986, is far inferior to the "big" movie that only knows how to...

    Tony Hoyt: He's a dink for sure.

  • Tex: [to Elias] Goddamn it, Elias, don't mess with my pig. I ain't getting greased on this bush tonight, so you keep this sorry cheese-dick off my ass.
