Thoughts of a semi-nerd

Well, where do I begin. It took some days for me to come out of the effect that this movie had given me. I've never seen a war movie where you find both sides shown as good. Movie stands to its title - it is about the soldiers and nothing else. The Vietnamese General in the movie rightly puts it that the result will be the same no matter how many ever soldiers die - I liked it. Mel Gibson and the military journalist did a very good job with their commendable acting. Many scenes are worth watching again but do I have the heart for it, well, time will tell. To be frank, I still wonder why this movie hovers around an imdb rating of just 7 on 10 in imdb - it certainly deserves more. I would vote multiple times if possible. :) I am game on for more war movies - keep it coming. Over and out.

Wow wow wow - "purely awesome". I have to thank my friend for suggesting this. This is one heck of a war movie. The first 27 minutes, well, it deserves all the praise it gets and more. I just cannot imagine or believe how the scene was shot; as if they have laid cameras in real war zone. Movie filled with so many good scenes - another rarity. One disturbing scene that is still lingering in my mind is the killing of 'Adam Goldberg'; it had me in shock, fear and tears. Steven Spielberg - you can surely count me in as your fan.
