It still astounds me to this day that someone can watch a movie like full metal jacket, and still come out of it on the other end thinking we were the good guys 💀💀
@goofyahhgamer35productions39 you're correct mr goofy but you just gotta look at the wider context of Vietnam. They were colonized and humiliated by the french for 100 years, ho chi mhin and his fellow revolutionaries fought back the french to earn his people their freedom. And then America comes in later on to get back at them on behalf of the french so they can get their colonial holdings back in Southeast Asia, again a massive failure. Because it turns out Vietnamese people would much rather have control over their own lives than have some Americans or french people do it for them. That's why when America gave up and left the South Vietnamese puppet government on their own to fend off the north... In an Astonishingly fast time the government fell to the north. Mostly due to the peasants in the South immediately rising up against their own government because the South Vietnamese dictator we put in charge there was a brutal tyrant and killed his own people every day. No one liked him. The north swept the whole country And it remains in elected control by ho chi mhin party to this day The Vietnam war if anything, was a case study on why old empires and colonialism was a doomed ideology especially by the end of the 20th century.
@@yurichan5368 well considering you were a goo goo gaa gaa baby child that makes sense why you wouldn't be able to understand the social critiques being laid out in the film... Because you had an underdeveloped goo goo gaa gaa baby brain at the time. I recommend you rewatch the movie now as an adult. You'll definitely be able to get more of an understanding that way. Plus it's a good movie so no harm no foul.
the entire vietnam war was just two sides commiting massive amounts of war crimes every day. From chemical warfare and slaughtering villages of citizens by the Americans, to the thousands of traps the VC set.
Fun fact- when he's shooting the m60, the people are the ground running are actually civilians who weren't warned about them filming a movie. They were just going about their day and all the sudden a military helicopter shows up and starts shooting a machine gun at then. Needless to say they were pretty alarmed
The most famous however, and if you understood your history you SHOULD know this… Ernest. Fucking. Hemingway. Greatest 20th century American writer. Spent WWII on a boat with bourbon, cigars, grenades, and submachine guns. “Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.” Feel shameful knowing that some bogan Aussie on the dole knows more of your history than you do.
@pavelgaming5470 I’ll tell you anyway. Ernest. God damn. Hemingway. “Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.” This man spent WWII in a boat off the US east coast looking toward Europe with bourbon, cigars, a crate of grenades, and submachine guns.
He wanted to play joker but honestly he fuckin killed this role. No small roles.
He was supposed to play the drill instructor
Anyone who runs is a VC, anyone who stands still, is a well-disciplined VC

For those who don’t know this movie is “Full Metal Jacket”.
Kubrick made the best war movies. Anything involving military really.
Ah yes the good guys 😂😂
100% right, America was justified in its actions
