This is not the first time I watched this movie. But the feeling is different. In my 20's, I was looking for the smell of battlefield, the techniques of warfare, and the art of war itself. In my 30's, the meaning of the war, the shock to human being brings me to another level of thought.
Although it cannot be compared with "Apocalypse Now", which I believe to be the best Vietnam War movie, it is still a pretty good one.
