I love the video!!!.....i was talking about a comment some jackass made about our soldiers at that time. and not to insult the great men that fought in this hell!
@giorgioosito I dont care what battle it was war is hell and no asshole should ever talk down about anyone who risked it all fighting for what he believed in and for the people they loved
My grandfather served in vietnam 101st Airborne.He had to shoot women and children with a machine gun!...So please think about our soldiers before insulting them!
giorgioosito... how is that an insult? thats a tribute to American soldiers in Vietnam. You should be proud of your grandfather, and honored that people actually care enough to look back on one of the darkest times in American history to honor our soldiers.
great video,great music All vietnam vets are HEROES i am from eastern europe, my father has been chased by a comunist police and comunist government in earlier 80`s because he was against the comunism and he fighted against the comunism,Dad you are HERO thank you for everithing you have done.COMUNISM SUCKS!!!!
@Patrickseager What the fuck does that even mean? Alright Ive been in Strangeways nick. Whos the hard man? FFS pick a better argument then that. What you said means fuck all.
Earlier Barnes killed a villager and had a fight with Elias. Thus provoking Elias to tell the company commander (Cpt. Harris).So barnes could risk getting kicked out of the militiary of killing Elias. If you didn't understand that the get right back to me and ill be more specific
thanks, but which 1 was barnes (the guy that got killed? or the guy in the helmet that shot him?) which 1 was elias? sorry to be dumb, havent seen the film... &why was the guy killed at 4.40 to put him out of pain? thanks ! :-)
@emptyzzzzzz Please just watch the movie. It's the only one I know that was directed by an actual soldier that fought there, and it did win the academy award.
@makingitthrough Stone served with the 25th Infantry Division and the 1st Calvary Division in Vietnam and was awarded both the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals for gallantry in action.
Barnes were wounded and felt on Chris during napalm strike. Thanks to this "cover" Chris survived with light damages only and later, after battle he got ravenge by killing Barnes.
I agree they do deserve alot more respect than they recieved when they came home, God bless all the vietnam vets, you guys are the best. i was very young at the time we were there but have done alot of reading on it and it was hell, don't ever turn your back on any vet, that served. My cousin Steven served too
God bless your dad and all the guys he was buddies with that may not have made it home, they ALL should be honered for what they did. I admit it was a shit war but they served our country and should BE very Proud Of THEMSELFS . God Bless
my uncle is a guide of an american soldier in vietnam. they are the one who help the american soldier cut grass and trees in the vietnam jungle. heheheh
Watch it immediately mate. It was the first challenging film I ever saw and it forged many of the principles I still hold to this day, ten years later. It's dated a little now but hey. Apocalypse Now is a little more sophisticated. Rock on ;o)
Charlie Sheen is incredible as a soldier. Clearly has the dicipline to take on the role of a Combat infantryman in the Nam. For instance- 2:36, watch the way he throws up his rifle. The average actor is not like that.
No I honestly never got around to it. Is it worth watching? I sure know the movie itself was. Everyone in this though is just absolutely amazing. It's as though Stone takes us on a tour of the nation's darkest reflection on the past, in the end, teaching a valuable lesson, and reminding us of the sacrifices that our forefathers made just so that you and I can sit at the computer and talk about dumb shit like cinema this very second.
lol yea, well in the video commentary dale die the co director comments of the quick action at which charlie brings his firle to his shoulder, almost exactly what you said, lol thats funny
This film was loose;y based off of Oliver Ston's own experiences in the Vietnam War. I believe that the letters that Chris Taylor writes to his grtandmother are actually Oliver's. King, Elias, Barnes, Bunny and all the others are based off of real people.
the songs tight, it works real well, im glad to see ur not a idiot puting metal to the vid just cuse its war, people do that way to much and it takes away the deeper meaning of the whole fucking movie
by the way this is one of the best war movie music video i have ever seen!!! fantastic job, also the opening is absolutly amazeing, that scene always made m ethink, with the song it works so well, buetifull!!!
