Reply #160: I got that on DVD

Certainly one of my favorite movies of all time.

There is not the type of horror that we have discussed here, no rape & murder scenes of some poor
young Vietnamese villager, although there was that one massacre...

The end is about as good as it gets under those circumstances, bad guy (CIA) gets what was coming to him. Good guy (if you could say that) gets the girl back.

It's only a matter of time when we can expect some new movies from the Iraqi guerrilla point of view, at least some that have English subtitles.

There is no way the US can last in this place now. The whole population is going to turn against them in ways the Pentagon can't predict, it's probably happening right now, but who's gonna report it for us?

At least there was some independent journalism in Vietnam. Life expenctance of indy journalists in Iraq can probably be measure in months.
