i first saw this film when it be screen on the small screen by the bbc here in the uk a couple of year ago . when i saw it in the company of my then girlfriend and i wasn not aware of oliver stone involvement and and frankly and i think that for the good a i could quite easily have flip channel have pre judge it a yahwf ( yet another hollywood war film ) . fortunately and i stuck with it and it open my eye to a war that be and by and large and merely see a an inconvenience to many would be holidaymaker here in britain . whilst report ad infinitum by the mass medium here and make the phrase ethnic cleansing into an everyday term and it wasn not until i saw this film that i fully appreciate what this meant . it a hard film that bring me a sense of remoteness and helplessness and futility and anger . there have be few other film i have see that make cause me to weep ( big and macho guy that i be while ) ) and particularly those that be often mis label a war movie the kill field be another of this ilk when and in fact and theyre really ( if be label thing ) human interest film that come about because of a war or conflict . dennis quaid be and to me and one of those actor who isn not hugely prolific in the project he get involve in and i actually find it difficult to think of other title of his that i would see . a quick skim through imdb and a couple of them stand out for me and film i have thoroughly enjoy and would happily see again while the right stuff and enemy mine . this be and without doubt and the best i have see him in .
