Parker Posey in Fay Grim (Hal Hartley, 2006)

Cast: Parker Posey, James Urbaniak, Liam Aiken, Jeff Goldblum, Chuck Montgomery, Leo Fitzpatrick, Saffron Burrows, Jasmine Tabatabai, Elina Löwensohn, Thomas Jay Ryan, Anatole Taubman. Screenplay: Hal Hartley. Cinematography: Sarah Cawley. Production design: Richard Sylvarnes. Film editing: Hal Hartley. Music: Hal Hartley. 

Fay Grim (Parker Posey) is having a bad day: Her husband is missing, her brother is in prison, and her son is about to be kicked out of school. Soon this will look like one of the better days. Fay Grim is another of Hal Hartley's ventures into subverting a genre, particularly the espionage thriller. But it's also filtered through another genre, one you might call "the Sandra Bullock movie." At least I call it that because it brought to mind the last Sandra Bullock movie I saw, The Lost City (Adam Nee, Aaron Nee, 2022), in which she plays a woman who gets swept up into an unexpected adventure. Bullock is not the only actress who lands in that kind of film, but she's been the prototypical heroine of them since her breakthrough movie, Speed (Jan de Bont, 1994). In Fay Grim Posey fits the part as well as or even better than Bullock. It's nominally a sequel to Henry Fool (1997), in which Hal Hartley introduced us to Fay, her brother, Simon (James Urbaniak), and the enigmatic Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan). All you need to know from that film is that Fay and Henry had a son, Ned (Liam Aiken), and that Simon went to prison because he helped Henry flee the country to avoid a murder rap. Now, an Agent Fulbright (Jeff Goldblum) from the CIA is suddenly in touch with Fay to see if she knows the whereabouts of the notebooks Henry kept. He claimed to be writing a sort of confessional novel that publishers had told him was unpublishable. Henry is dead, Fulbright tells her, but the notebooks may have significance no one has previously suspected. And so begins an elaborate chase that takes Fay to Paris and Istanbul, and involves Simon (whom she gets sprung from prison) and Ned (who receives a mysterious clue in the mail), as well as a lot of intelligence agents and terrorists from all over Europe and the Middle East. Fay Grim becomes as intrepid as Jason Bourne or James Bond in the process. Posey's performance holds it all together and makes me wonder why she's not as big a star as Bullock. It's fun to see some of these characters again, but by wading so deeply into spy spoof territory Hartley has lost the control that made Henry Fool such a fresh new start for his career, and some of his recently acquired mannerisms -- like the tilted camera, the so-called "Dutch angle" -- are tiresome.

An Ex-Marine Sees ‘Platoon’

In the voices of the soldiers you hear sensibilities that are rarely heard. One black grunt says the rich have always taken advantage of the poor, “always has…always will,” imparting this wisdom as useful background information without anger or indignation. He is the man in whose mouth Stone puts the American dream secretly held but rarely uttered in the American working class, that the American social system is a tough place where you might be able to save your own ass with luck and fortitude, but it will be the only one you can save. It is a place where sympathy and pity are the psychological luxuries of the rich.

But if they are shown as being cheated by the rest of America, the film still holds them to a morality that they can honor or betray. This is shown in a scene of great emotional power and ugliness when the platoon sweeps through a village after two of their own men are killed in action and the film shows the platoon’s “revenge.” These scenes struck me as horribly sad and truthful. The heat and exhaustion and fear play as much a part as revenge in bringing Taylor close to murder and another baby-faced soldier actually to it. It seems right that it is the sensitive soldier, Taylor, who lurches toward homicide first, while the brutal lout, Sergeant O’Neil, tries to stop it. At one level, this scene draws its power from the way the sequence of familiar images of thatched huts and conical hats and flak jacketed GIs prompt an “I know, I know” reaction that comes from the bogus knowledge gained from watching pictures. But this immediately changes to stupefaction as the scene turns to murder and the reaction becomes, “Wait! This isn’t how it goes.” Or, “We didn’t know about this,” as the columnist Anthony Lewis recently said about the film. 

You didn’t? 

How come?

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for The New York Times

Goldman Sachs announced its largest-ever class of managing directors.

The firm announces managing-director promotions every two years.

It's one of the most coveted positions on Wall Street, a step below partner at the premier investment bank.

Goldman Sachs just announced a new class of 509 managing directors — the largest class in the firm's history.

The position is one of the most coveted on Wall Street, one step below partner at the prestigious investment-banking firm. The firm now has 2,148 managing directors, making up 7.1% of the company's workforce.

It's also one of the youngest classes the bank has promoted — 44% are millennials, up from 30% in 2015.

Other headline stats about the class:

24% of the class is women, down from 25% in 2015.

130 were promoted in the securities division, up from 102 in 2015.

101 were promoted in investment banking, up from 97 in 2015.

52 were promoted in technology, up from 38 in 2015.

Eight were promoted in consumer and commercial banking — the division that houses the bank's online-lending business, Marcus — compared with zero in 2015.

Here's the full statement:

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) today announced that it has selected a new class of Managing Directors, effective from January 1, 2018, the start of the firm's next fiscal year.

"Our new Managing Directors have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to our people, clients and culture during their tenures at the firm, and we wish them continued success as they take this important next step in their careers," said Lloyd C. Blankfein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs.

Liệu tiền Litecoin có vượt qua được Bitcoin? Các chuyên gia dự đoán

LITECOIN hiện đang đứng ở vị trí thứ 5 trên bảng xếp hạng thị trường tiền mã hóa, đồng tiền này đã tăng hơn 3855,16% trong năm qua và đã tăng giá từ 4,26 USD vào năm ngoái lên 168,49 USD. Vậy với kinh nghiệm tăng trưởng đáng chú ý như vậy thì liệu đồng tiền này có soán ngôi vị của đồng tiền mã hóa số 1 hiện nay- bitcoin không?

Litecoin đang nhăm nhe vị trí số 1 của Bitcoin

Bitcoin là vàng thì Litecoin chính là bạc

Litecoin được thành lập vào năm 2011, hai năm sau khi bitcoin ra đời.

Bitcoin là gì và nó được ví như vàng thì tìm hiểu về Litecoin chính là bạc, vì nó được tung ra bằng mã giống như bitcoin và mục đích của nó là cải thiện tốc độ giao dịch của bitcoin. Thay vì sử dụng thuật toán SHA256 như bitcoin, Litecoin đã sử dụng các chức năng scrypt giúp nâng cao tốc độ giao dịch. Nếu Bitcoin tạo ra một khối thông tin với dữ liệu được mã hóa trong 10 phút, thì Litecoin lại hoàn thành việc đó trong khoản thời gian hai phút rưỡi mỗi khối.

Là một đồng tiền mã hóa, nó được ưa chuộng bởi các nhà giao dịch vì nó được không bị đình trệ như bitcoin và phí lại rẻ hơn rất nhiều. Và các chuyên gia khẳng định rằng Litecoin đã tự khẳng định mình như một đồng tiền mã hóa xứng đáng nằm trong top 5, nhưng liệu nó có tiềm năng vượt qua bitcoin?

Câu trả lời là ……

Litecoin đã có sự tăng trưởng đáng kể trong năm nay, tăng giá 3855,16%, so với 593,39% của bitcoin.

Vấn đề cải thiện tốc độ giao dịch Bitcoin đã bị cản trở khi người dùng tràn ngập hệ thống — rất nhiều người cho biết họ đã trở thành nạn nhân của các giao dịch trì trệ và hệ thống đã trở nên quá lộn xộn. Mặc dù vậy, các chuyên gia vẫn không dự đoán được liệu Litecoin có vượt qua được Bitcoin trong tương lai gần.

“Bitcoin là đồng tiền mã hóa đầu tiên trên thị trường vì vậy nó có lợi thế hàng đầu và được công nhận là một đồng tiền mã hóa có tầm ảnh hưởng”, Nicholas Cawley — nhà phân tích tại Daily FX giải thích cho Express.co.uk.

Liệu Bitcoin có bị Litecoin đè bẹp?

Đồng tiền mã hóa số 1 đã thu hút được rất nhiều các nhà đầu tư và các nhà giao dịch, và ông Crawley nói rằng ông không biết trước được liệu Litecoin sẽ lấn lướt bitcoin. Tuy nhiên, nhà phân tích cũng dự đoán Litecoin sẽ vượt qua đồng tiền mã hóa khác trong năm nay, ít nhất là vị trí thứ tư hiện tại trên CoinMarketCap.com.

Ông Cawley nói: “Tôi nghĩ rằng Litecoin sẽ vượt qua được Bitcoin Cash nhưng trong đồng tiền này sẽ phải vật lộn lên xuống nếu nó muốn vượt qua Bitcoin”.

“Bitcoin Cash hiện có 17 triệu token trong lưu thông so với mức tối đa là 21 triệu token, trong khi Litecoin có 55,5 triệu trong số 84 triệu token tổng cung, do đó, nếu giá vẫn duy trì cùng một mức trần thị trường thì litecoin sẽ tăng nhanh hơn Bitcoin Cash.

“Tôi cũng thích hệ thống thanh toán Litepal và khi chúng ta nhìn thấy sự ra mắt của thẻ ghi nợ Litepay, thì tôi có thể thấy Litecoin có hi vọng vượt qua Bitcoin Cash.”

Chuyên gia nhận định Litecoin sẽ vượt qua Bitcoin Cash trong năm nay

Kristjan Dekleva, người đứng đầu bộ phận phát triển sản phẩm tại Blocktrade, đã đồng ý và không từ chối nhận định Litecoin sẽ leo lên vị trí của đồng tiền mã hóa thứ 4 hiện tại. Ông Tekleva nói: “Tôi không tin rằng Litecoin sẽ vượt qua được bitcoin. Nhưng Litecoin đang thực hiện công việc mở rộng thị trường rất tốt”.

“Vì ngay từ cái tên đã khiến Bitcoin củng cố vị thế của mình trên thị trường dù có những sai sót xảy ra. Hai alcoin khác thì lại đang làm rất tốt công việc mà Litecoin dự định đó là tốc độ giao dịch nhanh và phí rẻ”. Ngoài ra bạn có thể tìm hiểu về Qtum để có thêm thông tin hữu ích nhé.

Giá Litecoin đã tăng đáng kể trong năm qua

“Cuối cùng, mặc dù nó hoạt động tốt, ok, nhưng như vậy vẫn không đủ để thoát khỏi vị trí tầm giữa của những đồng tiền giá trị về lâu dài.”

Trong khi đó, Andrei Barysevich, Giám đốc của Record Future lại tin rằng Litecoin có khả năng vượt qua bitcoin ở một thời điểm nào đó, nhưng không phải trong hoàn cảnh hiện tại.

“Bitcoin sẽ không thay đổi, mọi người đều biết về bitcoin, theo quan điểm của tôi, nó sẽ vẫn là một tiêu chuẩn vàng. Mọi người sẽ tiếp tục sử dụng và tiếp tục lưu trữ tiền bằng bitcoin, “ông nói tiếp”

“Tuy nhiên, trong những hoạt động hàng ngày, tôi nghĩ rằng tiền mã hóa Litecoin cũng như OmiseGO là gì  sẽ trở thành một đồng tiền chi phối nhiều hơn, ngay khi chúng ta bắt đầu thấy các trang web thương mại điện tử chấp nhận Litecoin, đó là lúc tôi nghĩ rằng Litecoin sẽ chiếm vị thế của bitcoin cash”.

Ông Barysevich nói thêm rằng ông tin rằng Litecoin sẽ tiếp tục phát triển vào năm 2018 và sẽ bổ sung nhiều thắng lợi vào danh sách những thành công mà nó đã trải nghiệm ‘Tôi nghĩ rằng nó sẽ trở thành đồng tiền mã hóa được chấp nhận rộng rãi đầu tiên ở các địa điểm bán lẻ chứ không chỉ trong các giao dịch trực tuyến — ở vị trí bán lẻ”. Ông nói thêm: tôi cũng hy vọng rằng chúng ta sẽ chứng kiến sự tăng trưởng của Litecoin trong năm nay”.

Latest story from https://movietvtechgeeks.com/novak-djokovic-beats-pavlasek-tomic-fined-wimbledon/

Novak Djokovic beats Pavlasek and Tomic fined at Wimbledon

Unlike his previous game where his opponent retired after 40 minutes, Novak Djokovic played all three sets Wimbledon this time for his win and advancement. The three-time champion advanced to the third round by beating Adam Pavlasek 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 Thursday, two days after his opening match ended early when his opponent retired with an injury. Djokovic won the Wimbledon title in 2011, '14 and '15. But he has not won a major title since completing a career Grand Slam at the 2016 French Open. [pdf-embedder url="https://movietvtechgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/wimbledon-3rd-round-mens-singles-2017.pdf" title="wimbledon 3rd round mens singles 2017"] In his opening two matches at the All England Club, Djokovic has only lost eight games. "It's perfect. Exactly what I want," Djokovic said. "I don't want to have any five-set matches in there." Djokovic will next face Ernests Gulbis. The unseeded Latvian defeated Juan Martin del Potro 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (3). Roger Federer and Angelique Kerber were scheduled to play later on Day 4 at Wimbledon. Federer, a seven-time champion at the All England Club, will play on Centre Court against Dusan Lajovic in the second round. The top-ranked Kerber will face Kirsten Flipkens on No. 1 Court. Grigor Dimitrov, Gael Monfils, and David Ferrer also reached the third round. Ferrer advanced when opponent Steve Darcis retired with an injury while trailing 3-0. Darcis is the eighth man to retire during a match this week. The Belgian took a medical timeout after 18 minutes of play and was unable to continue. Two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, seeded seventh, advanced to the third round in the women's draw along with ninth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and 24th-seeded CoCo Vandeweghe. Two players previously eliminated from the tournament were handed fines on Thursday. Bernard Tomic of Australia was fined $15,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct two days after he spoke about feeling "a little bit bored out there" during his match. Daniil Medvedev of Russia, who threw a handful coins in the direction of the chair umpire after a second-round loss on Wednesday, was given three fines totaling $14,500. Bernard Tomic was fined $15,000 at Wimbledon and dropped by his racket sponsor Thursday - not for something he did during his first-round loss, but for what he said during a news conference afterward. The penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct was announced two days after the 24-year-old Australian was beaten by Mischa Zverev 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, then spoke to the media about feeling "a little bit bored out there." Tomic also said Tuesday that he "just couldn't find any motivation" to compete this year and acknowledged that when he called for a medical timeout against Zverev, he did so not because of an injury issue but to "try to break a bit of momentum." Racket maker Head issued a statement via its Twitter feed on Thursday saying: "We were extremely disappointed with the statements made at Wimbledon by one of our sponsored athletes, Bernard Tomic. His opinions in no way reflect our own attitude for tennis, our passion, professionalism, and respect for the game." The statement concluded: "Therefore, we have decided to discontinue our collaboration with Bernard Tomic." The fine amounts to more than a third of Tomic's prize money: First-round losers at the All England Club this year earn 35,000 pounds (about $45,000). Tomic has not reached the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam tournament since losing at that stage at Wimbledon against eventual champion Novak Djokovic in 2011. That year, at age 18, Tomic became the youngest man to reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club since 1986, when Boris Becker won the title. Tomic reached a high of No. 17 in the ATP rankings in 2016; he entered Wimbledon at No. 59. "I feel holding a trophy or, you know, doing well - it doesn't satisfy me anymore," Tomic said Tuesday. "It's not there. I couldn't care less if I make a fourth round (at the) U.S. Open or I lose (in the) first round. To me, everything is the same. I'm going to play another 10 years, and I know after my career I won't have to work again." Daniil Medvedev threw a handful coins in the direction of chair umpire Mariana Alves after his second-round loss at Wimbledon on Wednesday. The 49th-ranked Russian repeatedly apologized during his post-match news conference, saying that he was not trying to imply that Alves was biased. "I was just disappointed and (did) a stupid thing," said Medvedev, who earned headlines for a decidedly different reason Monday, beating three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka in the first round. When his 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 loss to Ruben Bemelmans ended, Medvedev shook hands with his opponent and Alves. But then he grabbed his wallet from his bag and tossed the coins toward the bottom of the official's chair. He was unhappy with one of the calls early in the fifth set "If he wants to be (peeved) about that, that's his decision," Bemelmans said. "It happens in tennis. You should get over that." Medvedev, who is 21, said he did not immediately apologize to Alves after the match. He said he would accept any punishment handed down. "Maybe in the match, during the match, I thought that it was a bit not in my favor, but right now I can just say that it happens everywhere in every sport," Medvedev said. "There are referees, and they can make some mistakes, but me as a tennis player, I (make) some mistakes, too. One of them was, for example, after the match. I just have to apologize." Victoria Azarenka walked to the baseline, preparing to serve, when a man shouted from the upper reaches of No. 3 Court, "Come on, Mom!" It wasn't her son, Leo, born in December, but it shows the 27-year-old former No. 1's return to competition has caught on among the public. Between Azarenka and Serena Williams, who announced in April she is pregnant with her first child, two former Grand Slam winners will attempt to balance their careers with motherhood. Although Azarenka's second-round victory over Elena Vesnina on Wednesday was only her fourth competitive match since December, she said she has already begun conversations with WTA officials about facilitating arrangements for child care. If needed, the WTA will provide health and wellbeing support to players who are mothers, as well as other physiotherapy and counseling. "From my own power, I'll do anything to make that happen because I think it's really important," Azarenka said. "The guys do have that luxury of having the nurseries and stuff at every event, and I think it's time for women to have the same benefit." The travel has been the most difficult part thus far, Azarenka said. Although Leo is "actually a very good traveler," preparing for flights has been stressful. Carving out time for tennis has also been troublesome. Last week, she posted a photo on Instagram of Leo, lying on a blanket and chewing on a plastic credential while she practiced. To help take care of her son during the tournament, Azarenka has her mother, Alla, and her boyfriend, Billy McKeague, with her. "I have absolutely no idea how it feels to have a baby on tour or how she manages that, you know?" ninth-ranked Dominika Cibulkova said. "It's not easy. It's something - it must be completely different." The last mother to win the singles title at Wimbledon was Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who won her third title at the All England Club when she defeated Chris Evert in 1980. Mandy Minella, who lost in the first round to Francesca Schiavone on Monday but will play in the doubles tournament, is four months pregnant. Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2012, when she ended the year at No. 1. After defeating CiCi Bellis in the first round, she encountered the 16th-ranked Vesnina, who had not beaten Azarenka in seven previous meetings. The eighth was no different. Azarenka broke her opponent late in the first set and early again in the second, and Vesnina, after taking a medical timeout to address a lingering back injury, double-faulted twice in the deciding game. Azarenka won 6-3, 6-3. "It was not easy," Vesnina said. "I cannot say she is playing now as she was playing when she was No. 1 in the world. She needs some time to adjust, some time to feel her game and where she is right now. It's not easy, but a couple more matches and I'm sure she'll be back." Azarenka, who will face Heather Watson of Britain in the third round, said she has had an ongoing discussion with Williams about her experiences. She also spoke this week to Kim Clijsters, whose third child was born in October. "It wasn't a long conversation," Azarenka said, "but it's nice to see that some of my colleagues have children and we have just much more in common than just tennis." Novak Djokovic attempted to diffuse any tension between himself and John McEnroe after the tennis great compared the world No. 4 to Tiger Woods. The Serb has seen a dip in form over the past year, losing all his Grand Slam titles and slipping from the top of the ATP rankings. McEnroe compared the situation to that of golfer Woods’ and suggested the 12-time Grand Slam champion could go ‘off the rails’ like the American did after being caught up in a marital scandal. But Djokovic refused to hit back at the seven-time Grand Slam champion and insisted he hadn’t taken it personally. ‘I have heard about it today,’ he said. ‘Look, you know, John has a complete right to say – anybody, really, in the world has a right to say what they want, and I respect that right. ‘Especially coming from John, because he’s someone that has earned that right because of who he is and what he has meant to the sport and what he still, you know, is representing as a former player and still being very active on the Tour. ‘And he’s very well known for his, you know, kind of bold comments and not really caring too much about being politically correct but saying whatever is on his mind. ‘That’s all I can say. I really don’t take anything personal. I always got along very well with John. You know, I guess whether that’s his opinion or criticism or something else, I’m not really sure. But in the end of the day, I respect everything he says.’ When pushed on what the reason for the personal attack was, Djokovic was quick to crack a joke that he had hit a serve at the three-time Wimbledon champion during one of his matches at the All England Club. ‘I always got along very, very well with John,’ he added. ‘We even practiced a few years ago before one of my matches in US Open, and was always talking nicely about me. ‘As I said, I really don’t take it in a negative way anyhow. It’s fine. He has his right to say the things he wants to say. I don’t necessarily need to agree with that. But it’s his right. So I don’t know where was the basis, and he was just maybe making a comparison. I’m not really sure. ‘When I was warming up for my first match on the Centre Court, he was giving an intro, talking to the camera, and I served and the serve went straight at him as I was playing. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because of that. Maybe he thought it wasn’t a joke, and I was joking, I was trying to hit him. ‘I don’t know. I take it very lightly. I don’t think there was any kind of really wrong intention from his side towards me.’

The Book of Life (Hal Hartley, 1998)

Cast: Martin Donovan, PJ Harvey, Dave Simonds, Thomas Jay Ryan, Miho Nikaido, D.J. Mendel, Katreen Hardt, James Urbaniak. Screenplay: Hal Hartley. Cinematography: Jim Denault. Art direction: Andy Biscontini. Film editing: Steve Hamilton. 

The Girl From Monday (Hal Hartley, 2005)

Cast: Bill Sage, Sabrina Lloyd, Tatiana Abracos, Leo Fitzpatrick, D.J. Mendel, James Urbaniak, Juliana Francis, Gary Wllmes, Edie Falco. Screenplay: Hal Hartley. Cinematography: Sarah Cawley. Production design: Inbal Weinberg. Film editing: Steve Hamilton. Music: Hal Hartley. 

As the millennium approached -- remember the Y2K jitters? -- two producers from the French company Haut et Court teamed with a European TV network and asked filmmakers from around the world to make hourlong movies that would reflect their visions of the imminent future. Hal Hartley, fresh off the success of Henry Fool (1997), was the American director chosen, and The Book of Life was his response. It's a fable about the Second Coming: Jesus (Martin Donovan) arrives in New York City, tasked by God to fulfill the prophecies about the end of the world recounted in the book of Revelation. He is accompanied by Mary Magdalene (PJ Harvey). Jesus likes New York and its people so much that after retrieving the Book of Life (an Apple Powerbook) from a storage locker (No. 666) and breaking the fifth of the seven seals he calls the whole thing off. Apocalypse? Nah. His decision is hotly protested by attorneys from the firm of Armageddon, Armageddon, and Jehoshaphat. God, Jesus observes, is all about the Law, so lawyers are his favorites. Jesus is somewhat aided by Satan (Thomas Jay Ryan) who wants the world to continue so he has somewhere to meddle. The film's brevity is its chief virtue: Too much more and the wit would have cloyed -- as it sometimes does -- into whimsy. The humanistic outlook of the film seems to have stuck with Hartley into his next movie, The Girl From Monday, a venture into science fiction that doesn't quite work. In the future, the United States has become a conglomerate, and people are traded on the stock exchange. (The more sex they have, for example, the higher their value.) Bill Sage plays Jack, an advertising executive who is secretly a member of the resistance to this new order, but he's so disillusioned that he drives to the seashore where he plans to kill himself. Instead, he just passes out after taking pills, and awakes to see a woman (Tatiana Abracos) emerge from the sea. She's an alien from a planet where people are part of an incorporate whole, and when he asks her name she says "No Body." Jack takes her home with him and teaches her how to perform simple physical tasks like drinking and eating. He also learns that she's there to bring back with her a fellow being from her planet (known on Earth as Monday after its discoverer) who came to Earth years ago. The problem with The Girl From Monday is that the satire on consumerism doesn't mesh well with the sci-fi premise. The film is a muddle of ideas, many of which are half-baked. Hartley's inspiration is said to have been Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965), but Godard's movie has a coherence and dry wit The Girl From Monday lacks.

An Ex-Marine Sees “Platoon”

Staying with the lowly viewpoint of the grunt, the movie unreels a series of images that seem drawn from the trove of buried media visuals of the so-called “living room war” that America knew, the emblematic images of that war: the helicopter, the thatched huts, the peasants in conical hats. But very soon the screen confronts you with images that were not part of the “living room war.” The impossibility of filming small unit combat kept the actual fighting off the network news, even though most people seem to think they saw pretty much all there was to see. Other “considerations” kept the networks from showing the shooting of wounded enemy soldiers, the murder of civilians, and the mutilation of enemy dead. “Platoon” is different in that it takes you from the familiar images of the war and then crosses into other areas known only to the people who were there. You get the feeling that the problem with television is not so much what it shows or doesn’t show but the bogus impression it gives of having informed.

[...] At the war’s end, there were two groups of people in the United States who watched the return of U.S. pilots from captivity in North Vietnam. There were those who were moved to sorrow at the maltreatment stories of the downed pilots and those, like me, who know what would have happened to a Senator Jeremiah Denton had he been captured after a bombing mission over the United States by one of our platoons. What happened to Vietnamese prisoners in the hands of U.S. troops in the “living room war” is one of our open secrets.

[....] It is the distillate of Stone’s Vietnam experience and to the movie’s credit that the firepower is not something needed by the troops on the battlefield but is essentially a reflex of an army doctrine in which the infantry are used mainly as bait. This strategy failed the U.S. military in Korea and again in Vietnam. The movie and the Vietnam veterans know that war can’t be played like a video game, and that terrain is something you take with blood and lives if you are going to take it at all and you better be sure that it’s worth it before you try.

[....]The grunts-eye-view the film adheres to presents the Vietnamese from a distance, very much as remote figures in a backdrop. This has been objected to, but it reflects the experience of most of the troops. It is hard to overstate the hostility that infantry units can develop against anybody outside the group, anybody who hasn’t endured the particular sufferings that they’ve had to endure. Add to this racism, suspicion, and the fact that as units we rarely stayed in any one locale for long. But for all that, the peasants are not portrayed as passive victims or sentimentalized. The enemy appears as real, and there is a measure of respect for what it took to go up against the well-armed Americans. This corresponds with the attitude that I felt and saw among the troops in the line companies, a kind of noncommittal respect that only became crazed fear and loathing when the action got hot. The Vietnamese children are shown resenting being pushed around, and the peasants actively support the NLF/NVA and are murdered for their trouble. This and much else is acutely sensed and expressed in the film, the pervasive fear that grows as the twilight and the isolation of being in a foxhole deepen and keep men who look my age sitting in their seats till long after the credits have run.[...]

It is somehow fitting that Sylvester Stallone, a millionaire and a draft dodger during the war, should have mythologized the Vietnam War during the Age of Reagan. The future veterans of foreign wars are being drenched in the pleasures of electronic violence without the experience of pain. Now, through Oliver Stone, the myth has been changed. To say this is the best Vietnam war movie to date is to say far too little. It is the first to break a silence about aspects of the Vietnam War that we have been silent about too long.
