Very Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2000)

I am one of those baby boomers who arrived just after WWII and escaped Vietnam. So this movie seems to me to portray the horrors of war in such a realistic way, that it has changed my view of conflicts such as this forever. Who cares whether it was accurate in terms of the weapons used or from a historical persepective. The first 30 minutes show what war is really like and that for me was the power behind this movie. I am sure people will talk about this movie for ever!
