 Greatest movie I`ve ever seen!! January 6, 1999
TWO WORDS: WATCH IT!!Finn Sönnichse
As dissonant as Vietnam? December 26, 1998
Boot camp: organized, disciplined, harsh. Vietnam: Vague, strange, disorienting, incredibly dangerous. Veterans talk about Vietnam this way, starting with how you couldn't find the enemy. This movie brings the dichotomy to life, with incredible performances.
Outstanding portrail of the 70's Marine Corp and Vietnam. December 12, 1998
This movie is a true-to-life, nitty-gritty portrail of the Vietnam war and the attitudes of the times. This movie joins the ranks of such good films such as Born on the Fourth of July, and Platoon. In my ratings scale this movie is Outstanding.
Kubrick shines once again! December 11, 1998
Watch this film! It will show you the horrors of Vietnam, and the stress that soldiers went through to get there. Kubrick's terrific direction only makes this film more visually stunning. This could be one of the finest war films of all time.
A Movie of Epic Proportions December 6, 1998
Unlike other vietnam films such as "Platoon" or"Born On The Fouth of July" this film's primary value rests in it's incredible ability to depict the killer instinct. Before viewing vietnam through the eyes of a jounalist, I found the slow transformation of Gomer Pyle from a gentle human-being into a manufactured killer very aptly portrayed and quite fascinating. Also setting this film apart from others depicting the controversial war is the general realness it radiates. During the second half of the movie, the war comes to life in a form with a clear message. Due to the striking diolouge, the remarkable powerful scenes of death, and the imprint it leaves on your mind this film can be easily described as a movie of epic proportions.
