It's good damnit

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2003)

You can't look at this movie as a straight war movie. There are no huge combat scenes, it isn't set in the jungle, there aren't any technical war terms. The way to look at this movie is as a SATIRE of war. It is a movie about human nature during war. About the duality of man. (spoiler) I think it becomes obvious when the climax of the film is the killing of a young vietnamese girl rather than thousands of NVA or VC soldiers. It isn't a war movie, don't watch it as if it is one.
