John Irvin film tells the story of 14 soldiers from a unit of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division who spent ten days in May 1969 trying to take a hill held by North Vietnamese regulars.
Hamburger Hill is based on a true incident. The men in the company suffered 70% casualties. The hill was eventually captured, only to be abandoned later. The film serves as a grim reminder of what it was like for young men to do-or-die in Vietnam, Hamburger hill unpretentiously tries to convey the horror of war through gritty realism, It’s surprisingly refreshing, if limiting, technique, depicting a succession of battle scenes involving a diminishing trop of soldiers as they desperately try to further their advance, for no other reason than that is what they have been ordered to do. The repeated refrain, it don’t mean nothing says it all. This is a film about the futility of war expressed in the simplest terms.

DAS BOOT
Das Boot ( The Boat) Wolfgang Peterson, made tremendous job with this movie on his list, preparations for this movie was started in 1979, three years advance then the movie got released, I think that’s the focus, and dedicated people were, the crew, especially people who acted in this movie was so realistic, they gave life to their characters, the movie is so realistic, while watching you feel you are one of the crew number, It involves you so much and take the audience “a journey to the edge of the mind” This movie was produced with heavy budget those days 18 millions, and I guess it created close to 200 million revenue so far, that’s called life time work.Ultimate submarine movie shows the fear and panic of human beings on screen, makes Sweaty, High tension virtues of its cramped quarters and stifling air.
