Non-movie review for personal use
The reasons for the Vietnam War are not explained, which mainly depicts the brutality of the war.
A pair of French soldiers killed in an ambush in Vietnam
The American conscription sent the male lead to lead the 7th cavalry regiment. It is called the cavalry regiment. In fact, it should be a paratrooper. The male lead was once a paratrooper.
The male protagonist and the soldiers promised to be the first to set...

nice movie

The melody is still a familiar melody, but the soup inside is different from the others. There are several very good clips in the movie, especially the one in which Colonel Moore cried bitterly when he faced the dead platoon leader at the end. Soldiers rarely shed tears, but they are not emotionless people. They also feel guilty and lead their brothers away for themselves. The guilt of going to hell and not being able to bring them home. The back clips that are interspersed from time...

so called patriotism

I think that the failure of this film is that the thinking introduced at the beginning has not been well answered at the end. For a soldier to kill, he must be given a reasonable purpose. The show is all about exploring that theme.
First of all, when the battalion commander learned the background of the war, he realized that the war was of an aggressive nature, just like the American war against the Indians in the early days. The worry manifested during training: Are we doing...

Once a warrior, now a warrior, always a warrior - we were warriors

It is another film that has been lying in the shadow library for a long time. It seems that I have not seen a few of Gibson's films. The one that impressed me the most should be "Braveheart". There should be confidence in Gibson's script selection.
The story is about the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Colonel Moore (the name is strange enough) is the trainer of the airborne troops. He needs to be responsible for training the soldiers and then sending them to the Vietnam War...

Jagged soul has nothing to do with justice

This is an American-style theme movie, and the heroes portrayed with chivalrous tenderness, loyalty and courage, and perfection. He obeyed the president's call of duty, fulfilled the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and set foot on the unknown battlefield on the other side.
The bullets in the front fought bloody and bloody, and the back was a letter of death. The bloody battlefield and the sad and helpless eyes of the military sister-in-law are intertwined into a picture of war. The...

Movie quotes

[first lines]

Joe Galloway: [Narrating; voice-over] These are the true events of November, 1965, the Ia Drang Valley of Vietnam, a place our country does not remember, in a war it does not understand. This story's a testament to the young Americans who died in the valley of death, and a tribute to the young men of the People's Army of Vietnam who died by our hand in that place. To tell this story, I must start at the beginning. But where does it begin? Maybe in June of 1954 when French Group Mobile 100 moved into the same central highlands of Vietnam where we would go 11 years later.
Joe Galloway: [Narrating; voice-over] In Saigon, Hal Moore's superiors congratulated him for killing over 1,800 enemy soldiers. Then ordered him to lead the Seventh Cavalry back into the valley of death. He led them and fought beside them for 235 more days. Some had families waiting. For others, their only family would be the men they bled beside. There were no bands, no flags, no Honor Guards to welcome them home. They went to war because their country ordered them to. But in the end, they fought not for their country or their flag, the fought for each other.
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: [Narrating; voice-over] Dear Barbra, I have no words to express to you my sadness at the loss of Jack. The world is a lesser place without him. But I know he is with God and the angels and I know even Heaven is improved by his presence there. I know you too are sure of this and yet this knowledge can't diminish his loss and your grief. With abiding respect and affection, Hal Moore.
