A young soldier in Vietnam faces a moral crisis when confronted with the horrors of war and the duality of man. (IMDb) ( )

A soldier's time in Vietnam.

More of a political statement than a movie. There's no story - just a bunch of terrible things happen. There seems to be an attempt at a story; the voice-over at the end outlines character development that might have happened during the course of the movie, but I guess most of it must have taken place off screen or something.
