An incredible movie.

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 1999)

Anyone who gave this movie a 1 is out of their minds. I assume that most people would score this movie low because they did not understand it. One person actually said to me, "I don't like those Vietnam movies". Some Armegeddon fan type people are too eager or used to action to appreciate this masterpiece. This is not your typical "war" movie. It does not attempt to be "Saving Private Ryan." What it does do is explore man's inner being, and attempt to show what we all fear, love, or hate, and how we all are human, even if not all the same. This movie was incredibly moving. The artistic way in which it was directed may have turned off some "mind in neutral" movie goers, but if you really just watch, you can learn about yourself, and your fellow man. It shows that in the end, beneath the surface, we are all weak and unsure, and essentially alike. So, if you didn't understand it totally, fine. Just at least appreciate the beauty of the film. This is one of the better films I have ever seen.
