Figures

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 2005)

I cant see how this many thinks of this as nothing but the typical war-romantic Hollywood crap? Sure, the acting was good, the filming was good, sure it gives a "true" picture of the event, but still its just the typical heroifying of the US "heroes". Sure, you see a few scenes from within the Vietnamese bunkers, but thats all, after that its just back to the same old heroifying propaganda. The Vietnamese are pictured as animalistic creatures without a personality what so ever.
And the ones who claim the US was in Vietnam to "help" I advise to read a book. Is being responsible of 10~ million civilians helping? I'm not anti-US, I'm just anti-the Vietnam war and the heroifying of it. I'm anti all glorifying of wars whatsoever for that sake.
And by the way, god bless Full metal jacket and Apocalypse now.
