Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

Too much of everything

One of the best films i have seen

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Hey guys, It's me Drewpicklesfan and guess what I saw? Good Morning, Vietnam! That's #100 on my list!! Alright, so what do I think of this movie? I got to say, It was very funny because I think personally that the radio scene was so hilarious and it's amazing! The part where Robin Williams does the Wizard of Oz quotes and references, It was really interesting. I also heard on the movie that one of the characters said what Marx brother, Zeppo, The guy with the hat? That was so hilarious, I liked it a lot!! That was my short review on Good Morning, Vietnam the next review is going to be on The Truman Show so I got 99 more to go!

Excellent Political Comedy/Drama that was Literally Tailor Made for Robin Williams Manic Delivery and Assured Zingers. The Script was Retooled for Williams and was Originally Written by the Real-Life Adrian Cronauer.It's a Dual Purpose Movie that has Multiple Concerns. Vietnam, Censorship, and the Military's Rigid Discipline that sometimes can Lose Touch with Grunts on the Ground.Director Barry Levinson Presents a Slick Representation of the War and its Problems, Highlighted with some Strong Personalities surrounding Williams. Bruno Kirby and J.T. Walsh Standout with Forrest Whitaker and Robert Wuhl just OK.The Vietnamese are Well Represented with a Cross-Cutting of Citizens Lead by Chintara Sukapatana as Williams Love Interest and Tung Thanh Tran as Her Helpful Brother.Robin Williams, as a Rebellious Armed Forces DJ, is also Helped Along by a Snappy Soundtrack of Memorable Songs and Montages. Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World" is used Contrasting the "Conflict's" Casualties and gets Mentioned the Most.It's more than the "Robin Williams" Show but He Certainly is at "The Front" of this Striking Message Movie. It was His Breakout and was Nominated for a Best Actor Oscar but Lost to Michael Douglas (Gordon Gekko...Wall Street).

different by majority from its genre, it is more a film of one actor than an anti-war movie. Robin Williams does a real great job . but his brilliant improvisation gives roots and force to a delicate subject from recent American history. because it reflects the small things who are ignored by large frescoes. who are insignificant in many artistic exorcism against a tragic political error. it is more than the small confrontation of a radio man. it is a realistic, subtle and precise portrait of Vietnam. reflected not only by the genius of words but by a love story, frustrations of a lieutenant, special friendship, human emotions and the absence of the enemy. a film about few ordinary people. maybe an early version of " Life is beautiful ". and the waterfall of the words, music, ironies remind the discover of truth by a jester. this could be the motif to see this film. again.

Good Morning Vietnam is stolen by the Oscar worthy performance of Robbin Williams. With possibly the best soundtrack, second to that of The Big Chill's, Good Morning Vietnam also shows the absurdity of war, especially the Vietnam War, and the bizarre schedule and corruption of the U.S. Army and their agendas. Brutally captivating and hilariously funny, Good Morning Vietnam will get some giggling but most will be in hysterics. Gorgeous film made with such passion and love. Whilst some of the elements may be tediously unnecessary, the majority of the film is a fantastic Comedy Drama which will have your eyes glued to the screen and your stomach in stitches.
