"What the hell did you have me watch"
A co worker at my movie theater job said that to me after I let him borrow this movie from me. Scarface is his favorite movie I thought it was boring except for 2 scenes.
shareI can see why some might find it boring but, to me, it's very artistic, which sets it apart from other Vietnam films. It balances the beauty of the location and the artistry of De Palma's filmmaking with the brutality and ugliness of war & rape.
It's also realistic and compelling while simultaneously being mundane, following the true story fairly closely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_on_Hill_192
