Best Vietnam War movie Ever.....

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2008)

First of all this should be in the top 50,, it is the best Vietnam era film ever made bar none,, better than Apocalypse , or Full Metal Jacket. Christopher Walken shines in his supporting role. Meryl Streep well what can i say,, she looks so beautiful in this,, and boy can she act. Robert Deniro is the king of actors , he prooves it in this one time and time again as "Michael". The movie is basically in 3 parts,, you have the beginning where there's some steel mill scenes,, a wedding,, a reception,, and some deer hunting,, then the boys go off to Vietnam,, proceed to get captured,, bust there way out,, then what follows is the aftermath of what happened there,, and what effect it had on the soldiers there, and the people back home. there are so many good quality scenes here i can't begin to list them all, being from a steel town and growing up there i know the attitude of the people that come from there,, the music in this film is classic too,, Too Good To Be True,, is my favorite love song,, and y ou here almost 2 minutes of it in the movie,, this movie is so intense , it leave you rooting for everyone,, a lot of time is spent on character development,, which most times i don't care for,, but oh not in this case,, you really care for the characters,, because i think that they are portrayed so well, and "real",, like common folk.. lots of people work in steel mills,, and some did go off to Vietnam,, so a lot of this movie is based on realism,, interesting was them portraying the Fall of Saigon,, which was kinda neat to see,, this film goes beyond and war movie that i seen,, this is probably the best War movie ever,,,bar none,, if i could rate this a 15 i would.
