Take this scene for example, where "Clean" (Laurence Fishburne) is killed by enemy fire from the river bank. What the hell are they shooting at the boat? Is this supposed to be tracer fire? It looks like fireworks. But then you see Clean's body and he's all shot up. So I guess it was supposed to be tracer fire but it looks like shit. Looks like they're letting off bottle rockets. That won't kill anybody. >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jelEv5fCDDs
it's bad because it was made before I was born
It's bad because it's anti-american propaganda like all Vietnam movies
>>221366021they are shotting fireworks, and lives rounds. When you are the Ewoks fighting the empire, you use fireworks if you have them.
>>221366021shut the fuck up, faggot
>>221366109But that makes no tactical sense.
>>221366134if I have a limited amount of ammo, and I have some sand, im gonna throw the sand at your face to disorient you and then shoot you if I can.
>>221366021Actually it’s the best movie of all time
>>221366134Firework Efficiency is determined by Patriotism. It was psychological warfare to show the Amerimutts that they were invaders. Haven't you noticed how they started banning fireworks in America as patriotism fell?
>It's bad because... erm... this isn't how it would work in real lifeNo one CARES, faggot.
>>221366168Only communist states ban fireworks
>>221366141>pocket sand you didn't beat the game
>>221366134imagine if they didnt use the fireworks, the boat gunner would easily pinpoint them and blow them all away.
>>221366188Commie states have the lowest patriotism. That's why everybody flees COMMIE-Fornia. It's illegal to fly the flag there, like the cross to a vampire
OP, notice how the fireworks created a bunch of smoke so the Americans couldn't see shit when returning fire
>>221366221you sound like a true retard who never voted before 2020 and only learned about politics in 2019
>>221366196What probably happened is that Francis couldn't get the permit or the ammunition from the Philippine government to fire tracers at the boat, so he sent a runner down to the market to buy a shitload of cheap fireworks.
>>221366237I proudly voted for Trump all 3 times that he won
>>221366248maybe, but thats why Francis is the GOAT. He turned a scene that would have been boring into something interesting by improvising. Imagine if Uwe Boll made it instead...
>>221366231No, the smoke is because Lance lets off a purple smoke grenade at the start of the seen because he's fucking around and letting Charlie get the upper hand.
>>221366094Do you think the American govt is good? Are you retarded or jewish?
This movie is party so great because of the conditions they made it under. So much pressure and lack of resources and struggle and not only did they pull it off its one of the greatest of all time
>>221366529The fireworks apologists are at it again...
>>221366529my diarrhea must be kino then because it had a hard time coming out
>>221366021>>221366134never ever watch a movie with a gun/military autist, anons. worst mistake of your life.
>>221366094We Were Soldiers is probably a more accurate depiction of the 1st Cavalry in Vietnam.
>>221366021>Looks like they're letting off bottle rockets.Welcome to the world of Francis Ford Cappola, he's a fucking hack, Godfather 1 -3 are trash, Apocalypse Now is half of a decent Vietnam movie, and less than a decade later he's making the outsiders and rumble fish, lmao
>>221367236I sentence you to a 70 minute video of Ian McCollum explaining the engineering behind an obscure French firearm from 1933.
>>221366094The Vietnam war is anti American propaganda. Really the beginning of the end.
>>221366021I think the idea is that they were using fireworks as a literal smoke screen to hide the position they were firing their guns from.
>>221366134>But that makes no tactical sense.Sure it does. Look at all the smoke and shit in the air. Did you see where the actual gunfire was coming from?
>>221367322Perhaps they rigged the fireworks to a fuse to disorient and confuse the enemy/hide their firing positions. Either way Valentine's is no laughing matter.>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT0dCqe6R6o
>>221366134>But that makes no tactical sense.Whole point of tracer ammo is to help direct fire, they have guys with bottle rockets set up by the bank painting the patrol boat and drawing fire and the actual shooters sitting safe in concealment and firing on their lead.
>>221366094Or maybe America did a really bad thing and lots of guys made movies about it.
>>221366346>>221368262You can make that argument now when it's all about israel. Back then, when it was all about killing communists was absolutely morally pure and I wish we could get back to that.
>>221366529Yeah nah that stuff is irrelevant. All that matters, is the film itself.It makes for interesting special feature material on a bluray box set, or good story info to tell on a commentary. But the film should stand on its own.
>>221368359Give me a break. Even you dont believe that. All you faggots love gloating about war but you'd die pointlessly just like the rest of em.
>>221366021>Apocalypse Now is overratedExcept it's really not
>>221366094it couldn't get more anti american than being a pointless war tax thievery boot licking faggot like yourself
>>221366529On the contrary, they had a shitload of resources. The big studio budget allowed Coppola to run wild and actually film stuff like the whole French plantation sequence, which most likely would’ve been cut otherwise.
>>221368359>it's fine to murder people because they have a different political ideology than me
>>221367200diarrhea is never hard to come out though?
