This film is from the creator of “When the Fanfare Silent”, but this is another story, another war.
There is no pathos or some stupid heroism, there is a complete meat grinder.
Here they burn everything with napalm and pour a hail of bullets from above, not only the Viet Cong, but also their own.
Here they climb the mountain with only one purpose.
And let this film is not in the top five American military tapes, and there are no catchphrases with a philosophical context, as well as actors of the first magnitude. But this is one of those films in which you will see how hell looks, not otherworldly, not fictional by a writer or artist, but natural, quite earthly.
