fine piece of cognitive dissonance.

>Imma christian
>Imma kill all these fuckin gooks

Good

I liked it.

what's unchristian about killing gooks?

I really enjoyed it.

they were all buddhists or atheists
god commands their death

Presents a defeat as a victory in the most hilariously Hollywood way possible
Utterly ignores the ambush and slaughter of the company that was dumped on top of a VC base because Gibson's character was an idiot
Hits on every war cliche in the book
>ethnic character announces he has a newborn son
>gets brutally slaughtered five seconds later
Plus the weary old Gibson tropes of the Angelic Wife and the excessive gore
4/10, not worth watching

One of the worst Vietnam movies ever.

>"lol France sucks at warfare" meme
>"Look how diverse American forces were in the 60s!"
>"This story is dedicated to both sides of the conflict even though it will only show United Nations of America kicking commie ass."
>very obviously filmed in the fucking Arizona desert

except that they showed that the enemy VC commander also had faith in his god as well.

Eh.

To say "We Were Soldiers" is a video game for the big screen is to insult a number of video games that are far more creative, challenging and better-looking. Like a Dumpster bin behind Tiffany's, this contains nothing but well-packaged garbage.

4/10, it was okay. Well directed, but the script wasn't good. That bit where the Vietnamese general is ordering his forces around, then it cuts to Gibson ordering his men into those same exact locations just in time to defend against the enemy attack was well done. But that's the only big, standout moment.

Very hollywood

Also:
>"conserve your ammo one shot one kill!"
>2 seconds later he's on full auto shooting at everything
>artillery landing literally a few feet away from soldiers, not even reacting
>all those horrible cliches
>in real life it was 450 Americans vs 1,600 NVA, the Americans believed they had numerical superiority and were using this mission as a test of helicopter mobility (since for months they'd been on a wild goose chase against enemy forces and were just trying to catch them)
>In the movie it's 200 Americans vs 4,000 NVA on a search and destroy mission
>all those cartoonish video game battles with dudes just running around all over the place shooting at each other full auto
To be fair this part:
>ethnic character announces he has a newborn son
>gets brutally slaughtered five seconds later
was actually true, the jap engineer did have a baby that week and got roasted by friendly napalm, the whole incident with Moore trying to call off the plane was real.

Wew.

Looks like this thread is full of capeshitters mad that based Mel has denounced their flicks as violent without purpose.

>“To talk about the violence question, look at any Marvel movie,” Gibson told The Washington Post. “They’re more violent than anything that I’ve done, but [in my movies,] you give a s--- about the characters, which makes it matter more. That’s all I’ll say.”

How can one man be so based and how can people dislike him

>WE WUZ SOLDIERS AND SHIEEEEET
Fuck off with this toxic masculinity papaganda

The Civil War era bayonet charge was cringeworthy. Cool song though.

>The Civil War era bayonet charge was cringeworthy.
I thought that really happened

Me too, wtf.

I thought based Mel "killer of capeshit" Gibson was actually in Vietnam.

pretty good until the last 10 or so minutes when the air cavalry arrives and suddenly bombs the entire vietcong army to bits

book is great and better

It's good. Mel is unhinged in the gore department as usual.

>low on ammunition
>in danger of being overrun

They did the correct thing

you're a fucking idiot, just want you to know.

But when Spielberg goes nuts with it in Saving Private Ryan that's totally fine and dandy. When the token Jew soldier is flaunting his Jewishness in front of captured Nazi soldiers thats completely fucking epic. The sniper in that movie prays to God as he picks off soldiers and no one bats an eye.

Gibson does practically the same shit and thats totally not okay at all.

Good movie.

I've read opinions from veterans who saw it, and they say that the movie is pretty accurate, too.

pure kino

Yeah, becuase that shit doesn't happen in real life, right?

The taunting jew got killed tho lel

Yeah but his death is the most overwrought melodramatic emotionally manipulative bullshit in the movie. Slow agonizing death by stabbing so we feel for him and the plight of his people even more. The Jew fought and died bravely fighting against the greatest enemy his people ever faced. Gimme a break that was more sappy than any of the trumped up bullshit complaints against We Were Soldiers ITT

is this post serious

I can't tell anymore

garbage. That old fart with his m1911 was just too unbelievable. otherwise decent movie despite being directed by mel jewbson

he's using hyperbole to annoy you because he doesn't like mel which is fine, as a person he can be a shitty person especially under circumstances that drove him to act that way but obviously he has redeeming traits, he is entertaining which is his job or it used to be.

I mean he managed to make a bunch of scots and english that nobody gives a shit about actually interesting and coming from history field, knowing about inaccurate depictions of battles and all the other shit like french princess/queen that would have been about 3 years old at the time didn't stop Braveheart from being a great movie.

Mel gibson will just have to become a strong case for separating the art from the artist, especially considering he probably still has an interesting movie in him still.

I'm not sure jesus movie or viking thing is it though. Historical epics are a limited field and honestly who gives a shit about jesus's metaphorical dante's journey or whatever they plan on doing with 'supernatural' aspects. Its like capeshit for christians or something, he should stick to something that is much more lowkey and doable, his smaller films give him a better chance at finding something.

fuck you, I think about a vikings movie a la Apocalipto and my dick goes diamonds

watched it again yesterday
it's good not great and certainly not Mel's best

It's true though
