no right, no wrong

"Field Platoon" is undoubtedly a very good anti-war movie. With the Vietnam War as the background, it tells the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, the brilliance and darkness of human nature from the perspective of an ordinary American soldier. The war has brought endless pain to both sides. As ordinary soldiers, whether it is the aggressor or the aggressor, they are all pawns. What they satisfy is the will of the few. Immediately after watching the movie I changed my signature to nothing wrong, nothing right, just there. This may be a bit unfair, but as long as we change the perspective of many things, we find that we are actually digging the horns. There is nothing that is impossible, unacceptable, and unchangeable. I have always insisted on one of my views: change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed.

"Why are people like Barnes always giving orders?" "The war is actually fighting himself." Stone is good at portraying extreme violence and integrating into the political critical consciousness of the American left. The massacre and the ending battle are truly tragic. The disappointment of the idealists. But for similar themes, there are two mountains in front of Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and Kubrick's "Full Metal Shell".

Pvt. Gator Lerner: Says they had no choice. Says the NVA killed the old honcho when he said no. Now he says all the rice is theirs.
Sgt. Barnes: Oh, bullshit, Lerner.
