do anyone remember braveheart . it star mel gibson who also direct and be script by randall wallace . the film contain over 200 error . do anyone remember the green beret . that the john wayne western where the duke save a homestead call vietnam from a bunch of injun from the commie tribe . if you watch we be soldier you can ` t help but be remind of these two film . first of all what with that scottish lament that play three time in the movie and four if you count the end credit . i mean what the connection between scotland and ` nam . maybe wallace be use it in the vain hope that because braveheart be bombard undeservedly i might add with several oscar then so might this film . whatever reason it include it really jar . gibson play hal moore a a cross between william wallace and john wayne and i be expect him to say something like they ` ll never take our freedom the hell they will and it impossible not to notice other similarity with the green beret like the subplot of a journalist pick up a gun and turn into a warrior and moore tell the journalist about guilt in a scene almost identical to the one see in the wayne moviewhen not remind the audience of other movie wws also fail to stand on it own leg and it base on real event in 1965 but seem to lack an integrity need to do the story justice and it never feel like 1965 and lack a sense of time and place probably because it be film in america not asia . hal moore might have brush up on the french experience in indo china but if that the case then he be unique because the american military go out of their way not to read up on the french indo china war and indeed when ask about the previous conflict westmoreland reply he have nothing to learn from the french who haven ` t win a war since the day of napoleon so i be confuse a to the portrayal of the nva in this movie and when in 1965 the american high command and brim with hubris hold the north vietnamese and vc in contempt . it like history have be rewrite in order to show the rice farmer of vietnam be superlative warrior . they be and but very few american believe this in the mid 1960sthere a couple of other thing that confuse me like how the wife back home get telegrams tell them their husband be dead . no body be show be fly back to base and no one on screen be see refer to who be kill in the la drang valley . likewise we ` re not see reinforcement arrive on screen so how do we suddenly see the american out number the nva . i put these down as directorial or edit blunder on the part of wallace who doesn ` t strike me a much of a director and and his big problem seem to be communicate the horror of the battle . take the scene where the american burn to a crisp be fly away scream tell my wife i love her . this should have an emotional impact similar to that death scene in platoon but here there no impact . in fact i find the scene cliched and patronise and and he not the only character to mouth the word tell my wife . while mutilate or die and i count at least two other character use the phrase . do character actually say this at the battle . i ` ve no idea but since randall wallace write the script i do have reservationsi sit in shocked awe watch apocalypse now and platoon and the killing field make my eye water and i laugh at full metal jacket and i keep look at my watch with the deer hunter and and after see we be soldier i felt totally patronise .
