War

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2013)

I think this movie did a decent portrayal of the ugliness of war. Not only did it show the brutality of it, but it also showed how unseriously and irreverently some of the combatants took it, especially the American soldiers. Especially good was the showing of the blatant disregard of life of the Vietnamese - lives that the American soldiers seemed to deem worthless or at the very least of much lower value.
The narration was good and done well in a noir-commentary type style.
The only issue I had was of the ending. I don't feel Brando in reality would have let himself be killed so easily after establishing such an empire and army. This part was a bit unbelievable.
Other than this, a pretty good movie.
