Why are movies too afraid to show the true level of horror the Vietnam war? Even the best 'Nam movies like Apocalypse Now just skim around it and tell other tales.
Why are movies too afraid to show the true level of horror the Vietnam war...
Jace Robinson
Luke Johnson
A lot of horrors of war are too terrible to ever be put to film
>Iraq occupation
>Humvee rolling along
>little kid runs into its path
>Humvee stops
>Humvee is ambushed from both sides by assault rifle fire
Well, after this happened a couple of times
>Humvee rolling along
>little kid runs into its path
>Humvee keeps going
War is hell.
Caleb Howard
>city of Ho Chi Minh (formerly Saigon)
James Long
>too terrible to ever be put to film
More like Hollywood executives are pussies and afraid of backlash.
Lucas Hernandez
pretty much this. the audience for such a thing might be hard to pinpoint too. like the people who want to see war movies, don't want to see eli roth tier gore, they want heroic adventure shit with some gritty elements, and people who want to see horror shit dont want to see war movies.
Sebastian Williams
jesus, that image is horrifying.
I wouldn't have lasted out there.
Colton White
>the tank
Ryan Parker
If you had magic foot-switching bone spurs, you wouldn't have to go .
Connor Ward
the true horror has nothing to do with acts committed overseas
it's that you can get people to fly halfway around the world and kill people by telling them: "well, you gotta."
Cameron Ross
>CORPSES IN WALLS
Imagine climbing in and out of the same tunnel, knowing your dead friend is inside the wall. You push or lean against the sides for support as you descend and their rotting face could be mere inches away, but hidden. Holding your breath because the air inside this claustrophobic passage saturated with their decay. Trying not to think about which way their head might be facing.
Jose Evans
woah bro thats like so deep bro
Eli Walker
Why didn't the Americans just pour molten aluminum down there?
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Where tf would they get that much aluminum over there and how would they melt it all in the middle of the jungle?
Chase Ortiz
Cringe
Eli Torres
That shit looks like Dig Dug.
Owen Jones
wooooosh
Easton Ross
How do you counter this
Ian Carter
Fuck up everything with the biggest bombs you have until there is water where land was supposed to be.
Charles Lee
Holy shit dig dug is deeper than we thought
Julian White
Honest question: why not drop a whole bunch of explosives into the tunnels?
Anthony Cook
You wouldn't even know they were you friends if they are rotting corpses, retard.
Robert Morales
Dig Dug is literally a dude with a flame thrower hunting gooks underground. They just had to censor it a bit because the 80s were still considered 'too soon'.
Xavier Bennett
It's a shitty, unfunny "joke", if it even can be called that.
Eli Green
> It's an Americans think Nam was anything special episode.
Try a year in the trenches with the Spanish flu you pansy
Asher Morales
Heh, good thing my anus never stops dripping diarrhea...those chinkie winkies are about to get the CHUNKIEST MEAL they have had in awhile. Vietcong? More like the Viet-suck-my-dong ROFL!!@@!
Nicholas Hill
I'm not American but the Vietnam war always fascinated me. Completely unknown thick jungles, basically a complete new world for every fresh soldier involved.
Enemies could be hiding anywhere, one could be sitting in a bush next to you and you would never know until he lets his full auto rip.
The next step could get your leg stuck in a pit of spikes and feces or simply blown off, any time some poisonous snakes or spiders could fall from a tree.
Heat, high humidity and moisture, barely any fucking oxygen in the air. Bugs so big they make you remember horror movies.
Connor Scott
looks like a fucking sonic level
Caleb Sullivan
sometimes the winning move is
Christian Sanchez
Shit, you could make a movie out of this alone.
Ian Russell
I don't think it's too horrible, just most people don't want to see kids get flattened so it's not profitable.
Connor Diaz
>If gas was used
who used gas in the vietnam war? I know about agent orange but what's this pic talking about gas?
Cameron Sanders
bomb the living shit out of it, but then you'd have to be "the bad guy"
Brody Flores
I always wanted one about tunnel rats.
Nathaniel Robinson
>sudden political point
why would you do this
pls leave good stories alone
Lincoln Rodriguez
>oh no we came to a country of rice farmers and burnt and pillaged everything and then act surprised when they do everything to drive us out
Gavin Wilson
Are you seriously asking for a story about war to be apolitical?
Colton Scott
[glory glory intensifies]
Jackson Williams
Blame their parents
I always look left and right before crossing the road
