This is going to be interesting.😏

I Have not seen this movie before but i have heard of it. A real water buffalo is killed at the end of the movie, gruesome stuff.... Just a warning for those who like animals and stuff....

TippedDuke

I think Hella should teach us one Vietnamese curse word with each reaction.

King Bob

FYI it wasn't filmed in Vietnam it was filmed in the Philippines. specifically- Pagsanjan River (Laguna province) Located in the province of Laguna on the island of Luzon, the Pagsanjan River is famous for its rapids and was used extensively for the river journey scenes. Mount Apo (Mindanao) Situated in Mindanao, Mount Apo is the highest peak in the Philippines. It provided dramatic, rugged landscapes for some of the climactic sequences. Zambales This is a province on the western coast of Luzon, known for its dense jungles and mountainous terrain. It was used for jungle settings in the film.

VC stands for Viet Cong - they were the subversives within South Vietnam that hid among the villagers. The NVA were the North Vietnamese Army. You didn't notice Morphius from "The Matrix". He's the black guy with the radio on the boat. He was only 17 years old when this filmed. The yellow smoke designates a landing zone. This movie is based on the novella "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad - it was written in 1899 ! Coppola changed the location from the Congo in Africa to Vietnam.

Here's some movies you haven't done yet, that other channels tend to do: Goodfellas, Scarface, Karate Kid Trilogy, Contact, 28 Days Later, Psycho, The Ring, Taxi Driver. You also never went back to Back to the Future, of which there are 3, and yes they're worth watching as it's considered one of the best trilogies of all time. You also have a few Tarantino ones you haven't done: Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Hateful 8, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (for this one you should read up on Manson Family and the murders that happened back then)

Alex Anderson

Also for comedy which usually tends to be Tien and Hela, you should try Will Ferrell or Seth Rogen movies.

Mr. Writhms

Seeing this movie from a Vietnamese perspective was very enlightening and (I think) important. Thank you for this reaction. There were no polls. You were willing to react to this movie out of your own interest and for our viewing. Outstanding job! Hearing your opinions on all types of movies (not just the happy, upbeat stories) is the making of a long-lasting channel. I really appreciate this one. Also, how this movie was made was a huge mark in filmmaking history. All practical effects; everything really shot in camera. No CGI, no visual effects other than the camera lens.

Ryan Alexander

Should really watch "We were Soldiers" much better Vietnam War movmovie. Also based on actual events. AN, is basically pure fiction

TippedDuke

This was a very interesting reaction and I appreciated the ladies point of view. In reference to the scene discussing the polio inoculation. The US military would visit villages and vaccinate children from various diseases - in this case polio administered by a shot in the arm. It was an effort to win the "hearts and minds" of the Vietnamese people. What Col. Kurtz was describing was an atrocity he had witnessed that was committed by the Viet Cong. Those villagers had accepted US military aid and because of that the Viet Cong taught them the lesson of accepting US aid, in any form, would result in severe punishment - in this case chopping their children's vaccinated arms off. He then goes on to discuss that any army that had the resolve to do that to their own people was an army to be feared and respected for that resolve. The horror of war is experienced and perpetrated by both sides and as Chi rightfully observed, eventually destroys a persons soul. Great job ladies. I have seen this movie many times, and it moves me each time.

SM

If you choose to react to more Vietnam war movies, my top choices would be 'Heaven & Earth' (1993) and 'We Were Soldiers' (2002)

Wayne

Heavy stuff again ladies - maybe try something a little more light hearted like "The Goonies" / "Labyrinth (1986)" / Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) / Ghostbusters (1984) / Cool Runnings (1993). I'll watch anything you do regardless, the best reactors :)

Mr. Writhms

The water buffalo was killed by locals for a festival. They just captured it on film. It was NOT killed for the movie by the film crew. It's all in the documentary "The Heart of Darkness"-- which is a great movie by itself.

Grumpy Monk

I feel bad for the girls watching this movie. It's pretty rough. You would probably like The Godfather better. Same director and some of the same actors, but less violent.

Digitalversager

This is not an easy movie to watch and I try to avoid watching it. That was a great reaction from you ladies and it was very interesting to hear your views on the movie and the war.💜 Kurtz was crazy and committed unimaginable atrocities with his men. One could perhaps argue that there was an element of truth in his madness. But that is no justification for what he did. I'm looking forward to your reaction to We Were Soldiers. It is one of the last good Mel Gibson movies that I can remember. If you want to watch more war movies I would like to recommend Black Hawk Down. The movie is by Ridley Scott (you have already seen Alien, Gladiator and The Martian by him), is based on a true story and shows an episode from the civil war in Somalia. A movie absolutely worth seeing with a great cast.

This movie was filmed in the Philippines. In 1974 the Vietnam government still wasn't very friendly with Americans wanting to make war movies. "Charlie" was their nickname for the Viet Cong fighters. No. It is not 100% true. It's not at all true.

Brandon

All great movies! The Labyrinth has always been a particulate favorite of mine.

Hella is right about people in the army who did not want or support the war. In the U.S., they still did the Draft back then, which forced citizens to go to war. I am probably a little wrong on the ages, but I believe any man between the ages of 18-35 could be forced to go to war. Technically the U.S. can still do that, by law all men are required to sign up for “selective service” and can be drafted to war against their will. But fortunately we haven’t had a draft recently.

Henry N.

Currently all men ages 18-25 are eligible for the draft. So, if you're older than 25 you're "technically" safe (unless it changes of course) I think it was 18-26 during Vietnam. Though in WW2 (perhaps because the stakes were higher or because it was so long ago) it was 18-35, and then it changed to 18-45 when we entered the war. I don't know the history. In my opinion it's crazy sending 18-year-olds to war against their will. I think something closer to 21-35 would actually make more sense. The only time I think a draft was necessary was during WW2, because of the threat of Nazism. Having a draft in a war that we should never have entered like Vietnam almost seems like a cruel joke.

@Duncan Just fyi you submitted your reply to the wrong parent comment

Frozen Yak

I went to Hoa Lo prison museum in HaNoi last month. It was such a great visit, but there was not enough time to get through all of it before they closed. I suggest everyone who goes to HaNoi to make a trip there, but I am not so sure about getting the audio recording with it because it takes a long time to go through it all when you can just read most of it.

Johnny Boro

i wish i could be there to explain some of the dialogue. the part at 35:07 is a bunch of surfing words and can be so confusing for anyone who isn't american

Steven

This film is a retelling of HEART OF DARKNESS, a novella by Joseph Conrad from 1899. The original book is set in Africa and is a critique of European colonial rule in Africa. Though Coppola changes the setting to the war in Vietnam, the themes between the movie and the book are very similar. If you studied English Literature in the US, you are probably very familiar with the book.

N2Joker

We all were inoculated for Covid. in·oc·u·late means to get a vaccine. So... The Americans were giving Vietnamese a vaccine so they dont get sick and die. But the Vietnamese people cut off their own arms because they didnt know what it was and Hate Americans. Kurtz realized he needed to be just as crazy and stubborn so he went insane killing everyone. But this war is pointless because you guys love communism and still had it starting in 1975. So you can't own your own land or your own business. Hahahahahahahahaha

Joe Stüll

Another vote for labyrinth here.

vexyis

i can't imagine paying for a patreon just to be rude in the comments. you truly see something new every day.

Duncan

Thanks! 👍🏻 I’m only 43 and I can no longer respond to the correct comment. This is the end, isn’t it! 😂

Alex Anderson

Yes letting billionaires run everything without paying their fair share of taxes, while everyone else struggles paycheck to paycheck is truly the better option.

bernard henderson

I think yall have seen Graveyard of Fire Flies. Das Boot is a good war movie from a different point of view. Barefoot Jen is a good one too. You may have already seen them but some of my favorites. Yall have fun. Take care.

Henry N.

@N2Joker The movie has absolutely nothing to do with capitalism or communism. You have a serious comprehension deficit if that's what you took away from it. Why are you subscribed to their Patreon to just laugh at and insult them?

N2Joker

I unsubscribed...... immediately. I'm not gonna sit here and watch them cheer on Americans dying. You can all go live in Vietnam or China if you wanna cry about living in a free country.

vexyis

lol good riddance then, asshole

N2Joker

Vexyis it's okay to be insecure. You don't need to show it in this little corner of the internet. You can do it alone in your mom's basement where you don't effect others. Thank you. Try to enjoy the rest of your life lil pup. 😂😂

Alex Anderson

Typical...you can't respond to what I said because you have no response... crying while laughing emoji

Girls the United States fought alongside the south Vietnamese against the north Vietnamese

Evilsponge

The difficulty of making this movie is legendary. Martin Sheen was so stressed out he suffered a heart attack. They talk about it in a documentary called Heart of Darkness.

Coby

the Indy 500 is a race so they are obviously speeding that's why he said "Shit charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500". and Hela was right with the part that they told him to terminate the command of the officer not him directly even though they wanted him dead the way they worded it was to make it not so obvious by saying terminate his command by any means necessary. Great reaction I like when yall do reactions on stuff about Vietnam since you know about it first hand and correct the pronunciation as well as translating sometimes keep it up good stuff.

Coby

they say Charlie in reference to the Vietnamese when they are talking about surfing he says "Charlie don't surf" meaning Vietnamese don't surf

Ian Brett Cooper

You folks should really watch "Casualties of War". It was directed by Brian De Palma and is a 100% true story of the Vietnam War. Only the names are changed. It was based on a true incident that took place in the village of Cát Tường, in the Phù Mỹ District in 1966, and is known in the US as the Incident on Hill 192.

Ian Brett Cooper

"Charlie" was the name they called the Viet Cong, based on the phonetic alphabet for VC (Victor Charlie). The US fought two main groups in Vietnam - the Viet Cong (Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng miền Nam Việt Nam) and the NVA. (Quân đội nhân dân Việt Nam). Viet Cong were the resistance fighters mainly operating in South Vietnam, while the NVA were the army of North Vietnam.

Tim Sivert

Great observations! A couple answers to your questions: This was not a true story. It was based on a 19th century novel called Heart of Darkness by Josef Conrad, set in Africa but with essentially the same plot. By all accounts, though, it was a realistic portrayal of the war in Vietnam. This movie came out in 1979, when the memory of it was still fresh. It was shot in the Philippines because at the time Americans were not welcome in Vietnam for obvious reasons. Also, inoculate means vaccinated -- the children described by Kurtz were being given shots to protect against polio.

Kris Homeniuk

This is one of those movies where there isn't good and bad, There are victims, those that give into the madness/Darkness, and survivors.

Kris Homeniuk

The heart of Darkness was based on European colonialism of Africa specifically the Belgian Congo, where some of the worst atrocities occured.

Kris Homeniuk

The US backed the South Vietnamese government the way that they backed the South Koreans as away to stop the spread of communism in Asia as part of the larger Cold war vs. the Soviet Union and China. A good historical movie to highlight the way this all went wrong would be "the ugly American" 1963 movie also staring Marlon Brando.

Kris Homeniuk

Same director, and Marlon Brando at his most iconic.

Saints_Madness

11. Interesting movie, that's actually my first time watching that myself. Katie is kool since she digs that crazy circus music. I understand Kurtz though, as insane as it sounded. Yea war is not pretty and you ladies are privileged to see WW3. There's going to be false peace before it completely unfolds into complete madness. Its slowly coming together. And try not to be to angry with the past, remember as it is written, Proverbs 14:29 "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly". Always keep your peace intact. Great reaction ladies.

RichieBIV

So, "Casualties of War" is next? Oh, and one of my favorites, "Heaven & Earth," Both are sad movies but very good. By the way that was "Indiana Jones"(Harrison Ford) and the kid who died listening to his mother's recording(no phone) was a young "Morpheus"(Laurence Fishburne). Also should have watched the "Redux" version.🤓

RichieBIV

And Kris Homeniuk said it, "no good, no bad, all ugly." Kurtz was insane but sane he just saw what he needed to do "win" . The higher ups in the military didnt see it that way. Hence, "We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write fuck on their airplanes because it's obscene!" This and these things are essentially bullshit "lies" But I feel like y'all kinda missed some of the things alot even. Top of that list of missed things . . Nothing is Black & White. Think in grays or greys . . .(Inoculations are shots. They were giving shots to prevent polio for the children in the village)

Evan

It really bothered me that you had you had limited understanding of The Vietnam War, here is some education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tNTh6KlXXU Plus behind the scenes of a very beautiful vacation destination that treat residents like this all of the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=946uTBoeAwE The Vietnam War was not Vietnam vs. American, it was America vs. China and Russia, assisting North Vietnam. China and Russia won, America and Vietnam lost, and Vietnamese residents still pay for it today: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=454146083641104

I love the folks explaining Vietnamese history to Vietnamese girls. Obviously they have different perspectives and experiences from it. That doesn't make theirs invalid

piranesi

You dont have to live in the country to know the history. That's leftist mindset Jonah
