I UTFS before posting about an older film, but I recently revisited Hamburger Hill and I can strongly recommend it as one of, if not the best Vietnam war movie.
My late father always impressed on me how much of a depressing film it is - and how real it was to the time.
He was very right about that, and there is less of a rewarding, clear and engaging story arc than the likes of Platoon, Dear Hunter, FMJ, but because of that it does seem more purely about the futility of the situation.
The limited and incredible Philip Glass soundtrack adds to it.
Anyway, if you haven’t seen it and you are in the mood, give it a go. I think it is still very underrated.
