I won't spoil “the scene” for you, but the movie is incredible

I think it is a great movie, but people kept recommending it to me as a good Vietnam War film when it's barely about Vietnam at all. Might be the world's best Russian Orthodox wedding film though.

So far I think Go Tell the Spartans and The Boys in Company C are my top picks. A Bright Shining Lie is also up there, it's more straightforward and less of a filmmaker's film though.

boys in company c is kinda funny because one of the drill instructors is R Lee Ermey doing his usual, and the other one is basically fricking speedy Gonzales lol. I don't know if I'm remembering this right but I'm pretty sure goes "arriba, arriba" at one point while telling a guy to climb faster during a generic ropes course montage

I like that they never settled on whether it's a comedy or a drama, they just did both.

The actual war parts, while very good, are secondary IMO. It's all of the before and after at home that most resonates for me.

You don't understand that for many vets, the hardest aspects of the war were readjustment and not the war. Imagine trudging thru jungle every day for 130 days and knowing some people you knew or your friends knew were blown up out of nowhere. The color green would scare you but you just have to push.
No you didn't get into a big firefight but your friend lost a foot just walking the same path you did six hours ago, LUCKY YOU
Edit- obv the characters were tortured but imagine lol imagine just not being able to trust that the toaster oven you cook your Totinos in isn't a bomb ????
Imagine being a wolfkin and surviving that?

That's certainly true, but you could substitute many things for the Vietnam War and it would be the exact same film. I mean, the most important traumatizing event depicted is fictional and wasn't even set in Vietnam in the original script. We're not short of living-in-America navel-gazing movies.

We have always been navel gazing in America since the 1910s because we are stronger than everyone and we get to take imaginary hurtful vacations-/. You're welcome BIPOC.
