The "REAL" Vietnam

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2003)

This is the first movie, (although some will argue "The Deer Hunter" or "Apocolypse Now") that really tells how horrifying life was in Vietnam. The realism that Oliver Stone delievers, prior to this movie, had not been done. Hollywood had a history of making war seem romantic, and actually cool. Stone gave you the reality of war, with no holds barred, and thus paved the way for future films, like "Saving Private Ryan" (Another must see movie)

If you want to see how a war really is, this is a must see movie.
