no right or wrong war

The Vietnam War is an eternal pain in the hearts of Americans.

Americans lined up a lot of films about the Vietnam War, but it seems that there are not many about the Korean War.

When I was looking at the land, I suddenly remembered the general hatred and disgust that the Chinese people have towards the Japanese, and I just thought that the people of these countries that were once ravaged by the United States should also have a long-term and indelible hatred for the United States.

War can best reflect human nature, because all contradictions erupt in such a violent form, and there is no time to experience and recollect. Some people are bloodthirsty, some people are sympathetic, this is not the nature of that nation, but the nature of human beings. Regardless of race, region, rich or poor, human nature remains the same.


We are not fighting with the enemies, but ourselves.

    Fake gunshots, fake fireworks, fake explosions, fake bad guys, fake good guys, probably the most fake anti-war movie I've ever seen.

    Although the special effects are outdated, the plot is good. I unexpectedly saw Johnny Depp. Besides, how can the actor look a bit like Jude Law?

Platoon quotes

  • Sgt. O'Neill: Guy's in three years, he thinks he's Jesus fucking Christ or something.

    Sgt. Barnes: Red, your guys stay in, but you go! I need veterans out there.

    Sgt. O'Neill: Damn it!

    [leaves]

    Lt. Wolf: Excuse me, Seargeant. But in front of the men, I think it's necessary for *me* to give the orders.

    Sgt. Barnes: [sarcastically] Yes, sir.

  • Sgt. Elias: Barnes! Barnes! What the fuck do you think you're doing?

    Sgt. Barnes: Stay out of this, Elias. This ain't your show.

    Sgt. Elias: You ain't a firing squad, you piece of shit.

    [Elias and Barnes fight, the others try to stop them from fighting]

    Sgt. Barnes: You're dead, Elias! I swear to fucking God, you're dead!
