so we watched this film today in my american wars class on the vietnam war. it just has reaffirmed the fact how disgusting war is and how much is hidden from us. theres the one famous picture where the south vietnamese general shoots a vc guy and they have it on film in this movie and all I can say was unreal. I couldn't believe how fast it was and how it was just all part of the madness. the blood poured out of his head like it was water or something. It was just really disgusting and I got very nauseuous and wanted to puke, not because of the gore factor, more because of how disgusting humans can be to each other. im such a fucking pacifist sometimes.
