ReplyDeleteMy three choices of movies to watch would be: Full Metal Jacket because I have not seen the whole movie yet, the Green Berets, because I know a decent amount about their naval counterparts, but not as much about the Berets and Apocalypse Now because I have heard positive reviews about it.

ReplyDeleteMy three choices are: Platoon because my friends told me it was pretty god and i haven't seen it, Go Tell the Spartans because it seems pretty interesting, andvRescue Dawn since it shows how POW were like in vietnam.

DeleteRescue Dawn seems like a very interesting movie if it's on POW in Vietnam. I may have to watch that one as well, thank you Cadet Vera!
I also think that Rescue Dawn will be interesting. I would like to know what it was like to have to survive as a POW.

ReplyDeleteMy three movie choices are: Rescue Dawn because my uncle watched it and he said it was great and so I was interested in it, Tunnel Rats because it seems different and intriguing, and We Were Soldiers, because i thought it's also be very interesting.

ReplyDeleteMy three movie choices would have to be, We Were Soldiers (2002) Because I've been able to visit a few of the places the movie was actually filmed but I've never really gotten to see the entire movie. My second choice would be Hamburger Hill, because I've seen the trailer several times & it seems to be extremely interesting & I've been told that it's a great movie, but I've never really been able to watch the movie myself. My third choice would be between Tunnel Rats because of the way it's Narrated, it's intriguing, but I'd also watch Good Morning Vietnam, because it's more a of a comedy with Robin Williams, it's just bound to be a great movie.

ReplyDeleteMy first choice would be Full Metal Jacket, because i want to become a marine after highschool and the whole movie is about marines in vietnam. My second choice is Hamburger Hill because it is an extremely good movie. My last choice would be Platoon because it is a great movie.

My first choice would be Rescue Dawn, its because its a very meaningful movie to my family and myself. My second choice would be Tunnel Rats just because it sounds like an interesting movie to watch, and my last choice would be Coming Home because being taken from home in the first place is really upsetting, and I know this is a great movie. Just watching this short part makes you really think about this movie.

ReplyDeleteThe movies that I want to watch are as follows:
1) Apocalypse Now. I would like to watch Apocalypse Now because it has been recommended to me before, in the past but I never got a chance to watch it.
2) The Green Berets. I would like to watch this movie because I know that the Green Berets are actually a very elite group of soldiers and I imagine that this movie will be very interesting.
3) The Iron Triangle. I have no specific reason to watch this movie but the fact that it reminds me of the Iron Curtain from the Cold War so that may be interesting.

ReplyDeleteI would like to watch the movie Rescue Dawn because the story line seems intense and fun to watch. I would like to watch the movie Full Metal Jacket because many friends have told me that it was a good movie. Lastly, I would like to watch Hamburger Hill because it seems interesting and because one of my favorite actors, Don Cheadle, plays a character in the movie.

ReplyDeleteThe movies that I would like to watch are Coming Home, Rescue Dawn, and We Were Soldiers.
I chose those movies because they all offer a different perspective and experience of war. Coming Home illustrates the effect of war on the family that the soldiers leave behind. Rescue Dawn, on the other hand, shows the more unfortunate perspective of a prisoner of war. We Were Soldiers allows the viewer to have a feel of the experiences of a soldier in battle.
