One of a Kind

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2005)

This movie will always be remembered on the internet and comedies as "the show that had that guy that swore a whole lot". And this disappoints me very much. Although everyone who has ever seen the movie knows that it is a classic film that will never be doubled in any way possible, there are still many people who just know it as the film with many words you shouldn't say in front of your mom. Although this is disappointing, it is necessary to the movies success to have so much vulgarity in it, because without it... how would it be a Vietnam movie? This is undoubtedly the 2nd best Vietnam movie ever made, and I know how that sounds. But when you are second to "Platoon", then it isn't all that bad. After watching this movie, you will be in awe. Why? Simply because it has such lasting power that it will always be in your mind when you think about war.
The movie looks at the war through the soldier's eyes. From boot camp to the front lines. The movie will show you emotion, integrity, bravery, heart, but most of all, a look at war that people have yet to see. Where small girls fight for their country just to survive, and where young men fight for reasons that they cannot even understand. This is what the movie surrounds. The conflicts of the soldiers, not the war itself. That's why this movie will always be a one of a kind classic that everyone must see.
