Different from the blood and fierceness of civil war movies, this is a movie that makes me get goosebumps one after another.
War is cruel to anyone, and tragic at all times. The tragic and special music in the background, the sound of bullets, the roar of the American leader’s order, the whistle of the Vietnamese army’s order, the screams of the wounded, plus the blood splashed when the bullet was shot, the fire and smoke from the explosion of the artillery shell, The whole body of the burning soldier was scorched, and when all these were combined, the real and intense war was unfolding before his eyes.
The film has a strong sense of substitution. At the beginning, there was a calm narrative. After that, the soldiers bid farewell to their families and left silently late at night, coming to the battlefield and fighting fiercely.
The film has a special perspective on the cruelty of war.
On the one hand, since the beginning of the training, the colonel has repeatedly mentioned to them that war is dying. From the attitude and mood of the colonel and the soldiers towards war, you can deeply understand that when you step on the battlefield, you must be ready to die at any time. . In fact, from the moment the two sides fired, there have been sacrifices. In the course of the war, the soldiers who appeared at the beginning of the film died one by one, and the colonel was attacked many times. Everyone may die at any time, when reporting intelligence, when preparing to shoot at the enemy, when rescuing injured comrades. This is a real war. There is a legend that you can kill the enemy without being assassinated. There is no super ability to tear the enemy by hand. There are only shrewd tactics and cannonballs in the sky. One of the most heartbreaking scenes was that the U.S. army requested support after its failure. The shells hit the ground. The raging fire instantly swallowed everything. The U.S. army, the Vietnamese army, trees, flowers and grass, a U.S. army was burned by the fire. There is no way to save him without water. Eventually the reporter went to save it. At that time, his body had become black and burnt, and his half-scorched face made me feel goosebumps in retrospect. The doctor asked him to lift the man's foot, and he kicked it off, his clothes with meat. He was also shocked. I think I and the reporter have the same perception of this war. From being a bystander to the end, he had to fight to save his life. He now has the deepest feelings about the war. "The state ordered them to fight, and in the end they did not fight for the country, but for each other."
On the other hand, from the perspective of the soldier’s relatives. Every soldier must fight for himself and his family deep down. In describing the US military, the starting point is the thoughts and worries of their families for their relatives fighting on the battlefield. Especially sad is the scene when a telegram letter is sent to every family. The host's wife felt the grief, and at the same time worried about her husband. The ultimate joy of meeting is conceivable. At the same time, there is also a soldier in the Vietnamese army with a photo of his wife in a notebook. War is cruel to every family.
The special thing about the film is that war is equal to both sides. The film does not vilify one party, nor does it exalt the other party. In the war, the leaders of both sides were very strategic and very responsible. They are equally calm and calm about winning or losing, and they have the same confidence in their own country.

For those of us who have never experienced war, the alarm bells ringing too much, we are prepared for danger in times of peace, and we don't feel deeply. Seeing the real scenes in the film made me feel that the stable codewords now, the peaceful world is really beautiful, it is really hard to come by. At the same time, he expressed sympathy for the innocent people in the countries that are still at war in the world.
