Williams is brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2014)

Barry Levinson's Good Morning, Vietnam is arguably his best film work since Rain Man (1988). The movie tells the story of Adrian Cronauer (played by Robin Williams) a wisecracking disc jockey in which some of his superiors really dislike his humor especially 2nd Lieutenant Steven Hauk (played by Bruno Kirby), but however most of his fellow officers do completely enjoy his humor (including me while watching this film). One thing that completely surprised me was the fact that this movie was inspired by a true story, as well as the fact that Williams ad-libbed those lines that the real life Adrian Cronauer mentioned during his time as an Sir force disc jockey. During the course of the film Williams meets a Vietnamese girl that he has a huge crush on and then follows her to her school and wants to teach the class that she is in.The movie also has a great supporting cast which includes Forest Whitaker as one of Cronauer's friend Edward a man he meets during his assignment,Noble Willingham as his commanding General,and as well as the two characters I hate and love at the same time Bruno Kirby as Steven Hauk a Colonel who is very full of himself, and J.T. Walsh as Sergent Major Dickerson a soldier who really hates Cronauer the most out of all the characters in the movie. The ending to this movie really touched me because how the Vietnamese girl who he had a crush on as well as her being one of his temporary students really didn't want him to leave the country, I would have felt the same way too if I was in the same platoon as Cronauer was in real life.
