Easily one of the best war films ever made...

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2003)

I orinally saw this film when I was 16 and it blew me away. I saw it with my mother who started crying her eyes out as soon as we came out of the film because it reminded her so much of that time period. I recently watched this film again and I have to say it is still one of the most impactful war films ever made. What makes it better than most war films is that it fully develops the many different characters and gives you a true idea of how war really impacts these young men and what Vietnam must have been like. It reminds us that war is real and violent and even the best intentioned people are capable of doing the worst things.
