We Were Soldiers Malayalam Movie Download-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qyan3 -----------------------------------------In a place soon to be known as "The Valley of Death", in a football field-sized clearing called Landing Zone X-Ray, Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore and four hundred young troopers from the newly formed 1/7th Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry Division were surrounded by two thousand North Vietnamese soldiers dug into the tunnel warren mountainside. The ensuing battle was one of the most savage in U.S. history, and is portrayed here as the signal encounter between the American and North Vietnamese armies. This movie is a tribute to the nobility of those men under fire, their common acts of uncommon valor, and their loyalty to, and love for, one another.A telling of the 1st Battalion, 7 Cavalry Regiment, 1st Calvary Division's battle against overwhelming odds in the La Drang valley of Vietnam in 1965. Seen through the eyes of the battalion's commander, Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore (played by Mel Gibson), we see him take command of the battalion and its preparations to go into Vietnam. We also see how the French had, years earlier, been defeated in the same area. The battle was to be the first major engagement between U.S. and N.V.A. forces in South Vietnam, and showed the use of helicopters as mobility providers and assault support aircraft."We Were Soldiers" is rather different from the majority of American Vietnam war films. Instead of the drug-taking, baby-killing, officer-fragging draftees that arrived later in the war, here we have the confident professional U.S. Army in its first major battle with North Vietnamese regulars in 1965. This is the famous slugfest in the Ia Drang Valley, recounted in the book the movie was based on, "We Were Soldiers Once. . . and Young".
Mel Gibson does a generically heroic job as the gung-ho Colonel Moore leading his 7th Air Cavalry battalion into this new "valley of death". Unlike the nonetheless fine "Black Hawk Down", this film does a better job with the individual personalities, the human element of the soldiers under terrible fire.
The combat scenes are first-rate as are the effects. Battles are realistic and bloody enough for anyone. The effects of napalm are depicted graphically on an American mistakenly hit by some. The final American fixed-bayonet charge reminded me of the famous charge by the 20th Maine regiment in the movie "Gettysburg" - although they did not have massive air support. American air power was the reason the Vietnamese were stopped, and, eventually, it hardly seemed fair.
The wives of the fighters are shown at length as oak-like pillars of strength, even despite the Army's callousness in delivering death notices by telegrams via yellow cab drivers. Entirely distracting, however, was Madeleine Stowe - a formerly gorgeous lady who now has surpassed even Melanie Griffith for the worst collagen lip-job in Hollywood. Stowe's puffed-up lips made her almost unrecognizable, and clown-like. Too bad.
Especially good in this movie was the sensitive way politics and the Vietnamese were handled. Lyndon Johnson's dark, deceitful shadow hangs over all these needless deaths; in fact, if the movie has a fault it does not adequately show how good men were foolishly used by Johnson and the Pentagon. The Vietnamese Army was depicted as heroic and as human beings; the final comments at the end of the movie by their colonel about how the battle would change nothing in the long run except the number of casualties was thoroughly appropriate.
I recommend people also see/rent "Go Tell the Spartans" with Burt Lancaster. It was a fine and somewhat neglected film of this same period. "Go tell the Spartans we die here obedient to their word" was the last message sent by King Leonidas at Thermopolae against the Persians. And is ironic in the Vietnam context.
For those interested in historical anomalies, Gibson as Col Moore was spotted early in the movie carrying the book "Great Battlefields of the World", that in 1965. Unfortunately, it wasn't published until 1984.
A well-done war movie definitely worth seeing.I have seen WE WERE SOLDIERS and I wholeheartedly recommend this film.
Randy Wallace enables us to know these men from the get go and the last half of the movie takes us so deep into the action that I had to turn away from the screen on more than one occasion.
You cannot help but shed tears when you realize the sacrifices and commitment of these soldiers and their families.
Gibson's performance is as intense as in Braveheart.
I sincerely hope moviegoers will see this picture and understand that Vietnam's soldiers are entitled to be remembered as heroes which I feel is incredibly overdue.If the action is graphic and immediate, other aspects of the movie are inexcusably bad.When the VC soldier runs into the hollowed out tree, he checks the magazine in his AK-47, which was empty. He is pondering what he should do, when he fastens his bayonet on his rifle. His objective was likely to take out the Commanding Officer. But considering he had no ammo left, he ran the risk of dying trying to bayonet the Colonel or live and not complete his objective. This is done to make sure the rounds are properly seated in the magazine (so that the back end of the casing with the primer is flush against the back end of the mag). This reduces the risk of the weapon jamming. You can see Private Reiben do it in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan (1998) with a magazine for his BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) and Cowboy do it in Full Metal Jacket (1987). a5c7b9f00b http://fortisitofas.simplesite.com/433962581/6620619/posting/download-the-gambler-from-natchez https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-lymlanddispguchur/download_matasari_full_movie_in_hindi_dubbed_in_mp4/ http://hostraltecon.rf.gd/Atlantis_Milos_Return_full_movie_hd_720p_free_download.pdf http://telegra.ph/Reports-Of-My-Death-720p-09-18 http://dayviews.com/fusgoldtour/526811468/ http://bitbucket.org/actenadu/actenadu/issues/127/secret-agent-tamil-dubbed-movie-torrent http://borrowmyburrito.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-millionaires-unit-download-movies http://feral.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba072dd002aa82e15ab1ad9-episode-1101-download-torrent http://bitbucket.org/eskecudsa/eskecudsa/issues/99/the-rouge-download https://www.causes.com/posts/4918083
