WESTERN CAROLINIAN March 21, 2002 Western Carolinian Features Gibson, Elliott Star in Gripping Vietnam Production "Soldiers" Bars No Holds in Presenting Death and War By Sean Bilichka Staff Writer Somehow I ended up being allowed to write about a movie that is in the theatre, instead of gathering dust on a shelf at Video Update. Heads will roll. I saw "We Were Soldiers" over Spring Break, in between heavy sleeping and Alka-Seltzer hangover cures. I don't know what I can say about Vietnam. I wasn't alive then. And I really don't want to pick a position on it, because it's a no-win situation. I tell you guys that Vietnam was good and noble, and everyone gets mad. I tell you that Vietnam was a waste of young American lives and everyone gets mad. But this is a MOVIE REVIEW, so I don't have to choose a side anyway. How about we settle on this: Good movies came out of the Vietnam War. Okay? I liked "We Were Soldiers." It's pretty much a war movie in the same vein as "Saving Private Ryan." The movie pulls no punches, you see what it looks like when someone is hit by napalm, you see the destruction on the wives and children of the men who are fighting. Most of the soldiers are characteristically young, and are portrayed by actors like Chris Klein from "American Pie" fame (or should I say, infamy?) and Marc Blucas from "Pleasantville." However, the most compelling performances are given by some of the older fellas, especially Sam Elliott as the grizzled veteran Sgt. Major Basil L. Plumley. Mel Gibson plays the brave leader of the company, a company ironically assigned the same division numbering as General Custer's own. This film follows our newly formed Air Cavalry division and its misfortunes in the early days of Vietnam. Only hours after landing in the designated area, they are horrified to learn that the mountain only about a mile from them is home to an entire company of Vietnam Army regulars. What follows is a war of attrition as both sides suffer heavy losses. Close air support and artillery fire provide the Americans a strategic advantage. Mel Gibson as Lt. Hal Moore is one step ahead of his Vietnamese counterpart, and despite his rising casualties, attempts to defend his position while vastly outnumbered. Every Vietnam war movie has surrealistic aspects to it. While this movie lacks some of the moments that made Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket so visually disturbing, it still contains images both graphic and seemingly out of place. The silence and darkness being constantly interrupted seems to be a running thing that the screenwriter and director Randall Wallace (who also brought us Gibson in the Scottish war movie "Braveheart") seems to want us to feel — that no matter how safe things felt, danger was never far away in the jungles of Vietnam. Another aspect of Wallace's direction I enjoyed were the scenes in which he crosscut, showing us the drama in the field, and the heartbreaking task of delivering the telegrams indicating the death of the troops at home. It makes the impact stronger when you realize that not only is that guy dying, a wife is losing a husband, and some kids are losing a dad. So where does this movie fit in in the growing list of Vietnam movies? I don't know. I'm not going to lie: it's no "Apocalypse Now." It's more like "Platoon." One thing I did have an issue with was some of the overt patriotism. I mean, I'm patriotic, but when someone's dying words are, "I am glad I could die for my country," I don't really know what to say. That seems a little over the top. Mine would be more like, "I love America, but try to get this bullet out of me, because I don't want to die." I don't know what I am going to review next week. Something. How about this, you guys decide whether I should do old movies or new movies. Send me an e-mail at S£anhatPsmovies@netscavejl£i- Weigh in on whether I should do old or new movies. Or none at all.
