This is what needs to be shown in cinemas now, first of all in the country that started the war.
The war in Vietnam was the biggest fool committed by the Americans in their history. They lost that conflict and lost thousands of lives of ordinary American boys for nothing. The soldiers simply did not understand what they were doing there and why they were shedding blood.
This is what this picture, based on real events, shows. The American patriot went to his friends who were serving there at that time. He took only cans of beer with him, naively thinking that he was not there.
It turned out that there was plenty of alcohol there. But everything does not happen as they say on the radio or on TV. The story is built on the contrast that arises in the head of the main character.
The film carries clear thoughts, does not idealize war and violence, but shows that it is terrible.
Yes, there is enough fiction here too, and because of this, it is difficult to call the project realistic in these matters.
However, there are enough symbolisms and metaphors here to give it an appropriate grade.
