A GREAT WAR FILM

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2002)

First off i would like to say to all you out there who didn't like this movie that you don't know what a good movie is.How can anyone watch WE WERE SOLDIERS and not be heartbroken as to what these men and all vete- rans went through.My father did two tours in VIETNAM and he for one can tell you that this movie is as authentic as they come.Many people comp- lain about the lack of historical accuracy.Isn't seeing men getting blown to S**** or flesh melting off ACCURATE ENOUGH.And as for all those who say that this is just another patriotic war film,you don't know what you're saying.SO if any soldier in a non american film waves the flag, it isn't patriotic BULL but if an american waves the flag it is.I mean come on.Personally i think that everyone involved did an exellent job in WE WERE SOLDIERS.Mel Gibson is definitely one of the greatest act- ors of all time and i couln'd imagine anyone else playing LT.Colonel Hal Moore.Great also is Sam Elliot as Plumley.
This is surely the best NAM movie i have ever seen along with Born on the 4th of July(my father' favorite).So those of you primadonna's out there who think this only to be a SAPPY AMERICAN PAT-RIOTIC LOAD OF CRAP , get a life.And for those out there who do like this movie CONGRADULATIONS.You not only know what a great war movie is but you are honoring the great men who fought and died in battle when many others were sitting on their ASS in the meantime. GOD BLESS ALL VETERANS PAST AND PRESENT!
100/10
