South Vietnam national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan executes a suspected Viet Cong member.
If you're open for new perspectives on war, this movie is a must see. What is the psychology of war? Do soldiers become murderers when they enjoy killing? Is war beautiful? Are all humans capable of monstrous acts? FIRST KILL explores what war does to the human mind and soul. The film stars several interviews with Michael Herr, the former war correspondent who wrote the screenplays to Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. Of Equal importance are several in-depth interviews with vietnam veterans that evoke the contradictory feelings that killing produces - fear, hate, seduction and pleasure.

The VC officer being executed in that photo had murdered women and children (as communists tend to do) earlier. It deserved to be shot in the head. Actually, that was too merciful if you ask me.

This whole war thing sure sucks doesnt it?

@IggyHazard that is right, I agreed with you. I wish that I could ask that VC guy...how would he feel if his own family (wife and kids) were murdered and what would he do if he caught the killer?
