War and Peace

In Farewell My Concubine, the small four in front of Cheng Dieyi shouted to Cheng Dieyi. Eventually the world has become a world of working people, and the appearance rate of working people in the movie has greatly increased. It is not appropriate to classify Good Morning Vietnam as a comedy, and it is also far-fetched to classify it as a musical. If it is an anti-war movie, the film’s attitude is not firm enough. The film is more descriptive, describing a story of American working people in Vietnam.

Rough language and pornographic jokes do not arouse people's interest. (Personal opinion) The focus of the film lies in the difference between the autocratic nature of the army and the freedom of liberty, the Americans and the Vietnamese have different views on war. The embodiment of this conflict is a new DJ. A small person with personality but not decisive courage. He dared to break through the conventions of dull news and monotonous music, dared to publish unofficial news, dared to use Nixon as a pornographic joke, but he would look for a woman, salute to his boss to make corrections next time, and be in the bar after being suspended. Depressed. It is such a complete person's doubts about the Vietnam War that can move people's hearts and stay true to the truth. Movies with first themes often do not produce good results, especially when it comes to political issues such as anti-war, and the moral aura hinders the expression of the film. This is the case with the new Aung San Suu Kyi. Questions exist in the lives of ordinary people. If a person wants to live a life of freedom and justice (can't think of a suitable word to describe it), then he is incompatible with the military's press censorship and the killing of the Vietnamese. .

Robin The male protagonist starring Williams will ride bicycles all over the street looking for "girls", but he is by no means an American and French asshole as the heroine's brother said. He respects the Vietnamese and fights for it. This presents two different moral values, Robin. When Williams’ assistant was chasing on a bicycle, he shouted dignity, the dignity of the army, which is another kind of morality. But those who invite Vietnamese girls to high-end restaurants, and those who elegantly ride in their carts to open the house are just a bunch of out-and-out bastards. What's wrong with men like beautiful girls! A value that suppresses this desire under the so-called military dignity can only lead to hypocrisy. Similarly, Dabing likes to listen to swear words and pornographic jokes. What's wrong with it! What's wrong with liking rock! Robin Williams’ two bosses are typical conservatives, who like "correct" jokes, "correct" news, "correct" music, and two livelihood bureaucrats. Robin The DJ played by Williams is unconventional, but by no means unreasonable. The absurdity of news censorship, the absurdity of "correct" jokes and music are vividly demonstrated in the DJ's actions. However, the war was not regarded as a joke, even though Robin. Williams expressed his veiled sympathy and pity for those soldiers who went to the front. The "save" war is still Robin. Williams' point of view (although a bit shaken).

The final conflict, the heroine's brother and Robin. Williams' words pointed directly to the core of the war: justice. Stripping away the superiority of a big country and the nationalist color of a small country, the results of this small controversy are as follows: the Vietnam War is justified, and the war is unjust. The Vietnam War starts with justice and fights with justice. The Vietnam War was unjust at the beginning of the war, and the war was unjust. The Vietnam War is unjust, but war is just. {For the division of the two justices of war, please refer to Michael Walzer's "On War", and the controversial discussion about the (justice) terrorist actions of the weaker party can also refer to this book} The point raised by the heroine’s younger brother is only questionable In order to combat justice, why are women killed in the Vietnam War? And Robin. Williams is talking about justice in war, that is, salvation. But the two are not talking about the same thing. The extreme injustice of the war will also affect the just nature of the war. Robin Williams questioned the justice of using him to kill American troops in the tavern. The director’s attitude can be seen from the US military’s bombing of Vietnamese villages in the film. This is a war full of unilateral slaughter. The superiority of weapons has aggravated the moral crimes of the US military. Robin Williams' "salvation" is even more helpless and self-defensive. But is it just for the Vietnamese to attack the tavern? From Robin. Williams can see the clues, using the feelings of "friends" to ignore the bombings of other innocent people, there is no justice. The expression of the vast ocean of People's War is wrong and harmful. The reason why a civilian should be protected from the deprivation of his life by war is because he is a civilian. Once a civilian participates in the act of war, he loses his eligibility for protection. The vast ocean of the People’s War is a complete denial of the qualifications of civilians, and it is a reason for the other side to kill civilians. Freedom, how many sins are in your name. This is undoubtedly the Liberator of the U.S. Army. Nation, how many crimes are in your name, this is undoubtedly speaking of the rebels of revenge.

The complexity of war cannot be explained by free ideology or nationalist ideology alone. The simpler the theory, the more brutal the result. The ending of the film is regrettable. The director brought the protagonist back by plane after proposing a controversial conflict. This is why the film evaluation is not enough to compare with the classics. But who can say that this is not an ending? The individual finally hid behind the country, and the individual's "criminal" for the war was dispelled as he left. If we look further, the protagonist's departure symbolizes the individual's powerlessness in this war. This sense of powerlessness cannot but be said to be a sentiment of the Americans after the Vietnam War.

    Robin was his wife's mouth when he was young. The movie is pretty good, but those American jokes like a gang of guns are really incomprehensible. When Robin watched the soldiers in the trucks wave goodbye and leave, when the soothing and melodious blues sounded, the scene was full of explosions, gunshots, blood, and loneliness. The war has taken away a lot, both to friends and enemies... The second half of the Viet Cong is a bit sudden, and the taste of preaching is a bit strong, and it can't keep up with the previous one at all.

Good Morning, Vietnam quotes

  • Edward Garlick: Sir, you're not funny. Ask around.

  • Adrian Cronauer: [to the racist sergeant] I got to tell you somethin', you know? I've been all around the world, seen a lot of places and a lot of people. I have never, ever in my travels come across a man as large as you... with as much muscles, who has absolutely no penis.
