It isn't intended to be a story about the Vietnam war. It is about the "horror" of war and how not all casualties are physical.It’s an over stylised film with little depth to the plot and little character development . It’s story more like an American western where the lawman goes to enact justice on the bad guy rather than a story about the Vietnam war. The gratuitous killing of the water buffalo did little to the plot either.
The film starts off good and has important references to the horrors of the conflict but then it just peters-out to an un exciting conclusion
Pete Townsend pseudo intellectualising a ride to the seaside…Quadrophenia. Hes a proper little twat is Jimmy. Great soundtrack mind

The water buffalo was already going to be slaughtered by the real indigenous tribe so was not gratuitous in reality and in the construct of the film provides an Homeric perspective on the need for killing.
Bollocks.It is utter shite.
One of the best films ever made man. Watched it on film 4 a couple of weeks a go. I’d go as far as to say it’s iconic.Close encounters - absolute tripe
But the flying car man, aww shucksBox office hit, one of the best modern day musicals of it's time with songs that stayed in the charts for months.
Great film.
I tried to watch it a couple of weeks ago. It was on for hours and nothing happened apart from some lights.One of the best films ever made man. Watched it on film 4 a couple of weeks a go. I’d go as far as to say it’s iconic.
Ehhhrm, there are loads of abductions like Jeff. Including that scary scene where the young lad gets taken from his mams house. You do see the aliens at the end when they come down and say hello.I tried to watch it a couple of weeks ago. It was on for hours and nothing happened apart from some lights.
Nee green men, nee abductions, nee kinky experiments nowt.
Fair enough I only watched the first bit where Matt hooper got rattled in his car.Ehhhrm, there are loads of abductions like Jeff. Including that scary scene where the young lad gets taken from his mams house. You do see the aliens at the end when they come down and say hello.
Fair enough no experiments, but you can hoy on Fire in the Sky afterwards and watch somebody get their eye prodded with a needle all day if that where you get your kicks.
It was based on heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad iirc.The original story was actually intended for an African story about the Congo.
Not the Vietnam war. It was an adaptation. There’s little military exchange between American forces and the Vietcong, except for the occasional token gunfire. It’s basically a plot about assassination of a special forces soldier played by an overweight Marlon Brando
Don't fuck with the Wongs!About the time of warriors there was another called the wanderers, now that was crap
Waddyamean “about” the Vietnam War? It’s not a documentary. It’s a fictitious tale based on a work of fiction by a Polish gadgy that was published in 1899!It’s an over stylised film with little depth to the plot and little character development . It’s story more like an American western where the lawman goes to enact justice on the bad guy rather than a story about the Vietnam war.
