What are you helping us with?

I watched the movie "Good Morning Vietnam" last night, about the Vietnam War in 1965. In the end, the teenager asked: "My mother died and all my neighbors and friends died. What are you helping us?" This question was asked by the local people during the Russo-Japanese War and the Korean War. I don't know why.

When it comes to Vietnam, I think more of Duras's "The Lover", a French girl with a pink male hat on the Mekong River and a rich Chinese young master. War, colonization, lust, this land is as humid and complex as its climate.

The heroine's white Aodai is beautiful. Just like the morning sun in Vietnam, it is pure, gentle, fresh and beautiful. The beauty of war and suffering also shines.

    Honestly, I find this movie a little quack. You can say that I don't know how to appreciate American humor. You can say that Burren's actions are admirable. You can say that it reveals to a certain extent the damage caused by the US military to Vietnam. I don't deny any of this. But you must know that the East has its own way of life in the East, and it will only appear nondescript to copy the Western things. I hope American radio stations don't fly on the soil of Vietnam!

    The radio hero of the 60s. Classic alternative anti-Vietnam War, and 60's oldies. Many jokes cannot be digested and understood because of cultural differences and insufficient background knowledge. However, the Vietnamese woman in white fluttering in the film is really beautiful. Robin Williams, born comedian.

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.
