Sticks in your head

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2005)

I haven't seen this movie in years and hadn't thought of it until seeing Vincent D'Onofrio in "Without a Paddle" (yeah, I know...) So doing a search on him reminded me about his role as Pyle. What a role. That are many things that stand out in this movie and I will never forget them. Pyle's look in the head scared the crap out of me. The assassin's shallow breathing asking to be killed. The lunatic shooting people in the rice patties, screaming "Git some, Git some" Man I still yell that playing video games. I remember him saying, when shooting the women and children, that you didn't have to lead them as much... Man. The incredibly racist talk among the soldiers. The great soundtrack and great songs at great moment. The photography was great. Lush at times and haltingly paranoid at other. Dang. What a good movie. Moving. Stunning. Sticks in your mind. Made me laugh, made me cry and some times made me turn from the screen. Isn't that what a good movie does?
