summary:

The film begins with the transport hatch that carried the chartered Chris (Fifty-One) before Vietnam. The desolate landscape of Vietnam filled with dust followed, and Chris stepped into Vietnam with the recruits. The soldiers who filled the airfield are busy, and the expression of the old soldiers treating the recruits is 'welcome to hell'. Chris, along with Gardner (Bob Owi), is assigned to the 25th Infantry Division Bravo Company. The subcommittee of the platoon where Chris is deployed is a fledgling officer named Wolfe (Mark Mossys), who is under Barnes (Tom Berlinger) and Elias' squad leader (Willem Defoe). In September 1967, the battle began when a search operation was deployed near the Cambodian border. Life and death are separated by a piece of paper, and until the last time, the old man is carried out as an unrecognizable body. And because of the constantly constant battle, even the same ally will confront, hate, and hate each other. While Barnes, who has been shot and killed a number of times, has no blood or tears enough to slaughter Jimin because he is suspected of being a Viet Kong, Elias is humanitarian enough to dispel his colleagues who are raping Vietnamese peasants, It is a soldier. Wolf, the undisciplined subordinate, is absolutely trusting Barnes, looks at Elias like a ghost, and Barnes frowns with his anger at Elias, who pushes himself to the top. Platoons are also divided into Barnes and Elias, disbelief and hatred of each other, and battle continues in the midst of it. After the fierce offensive of the NL, the Elias led the three men to go behind the NL and run a surprise attack on their own. And in the middle of it, I meet with Barnes in the middle of the jungle ...

 

subject:

What is the nature of war? Even though the era has changed, the essence of "war" with the history of mankind has not changed. The Vietnam War, the first military defeat of the United States, which has no history of losing the war even in the battle, was full of meaningless slaughter and death, the most ugly war in human history. American youngsters threw themselves into the jungle in front of the cause, but the most annoying of them was the jungle and not the Viet Cong themselves. In other words, they fought against themselves, not the enemy. Oliver Stone, a former veteran of the Vietnam War, knows more about this than anyone else, so this shocking story could be filmed. If you want to see the horrors and essence of the war, do not miss the last battle scene of the movie.
