Title: Revisionist history at its worst.
Review: I just watched this movie and I had to force myself to see all of it. Lt. Col. Hal Moore's (Mel Gibson) speaches were syrupy sweet melodramatic drivel. In fact, much of the dialogue is the same way. This film had none of the reality Platoon had, which is the most comprehensive Vietnam War movie. We Were Soldiers is a very sanitized and fictionalized version of the Vietnam War. In addition to Platoon, I would recommend, Tigerland, Hamburger Hill, and Full Metal Jacket.
