The Worst Film Ever

Just perfect...

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Sent to the jungles of Vietnam to film a small unit for a military training video, an aspiring director experiences a side of war seldom told in this fascinating movie helmed by Vietnam War veteran Patrick Sheane Duncan. The film is innovatively shot in fake documentary style from the point of view of the cameraman and while the constant hand-held photography is jarring at first, it sublimely places us in the young man's shoes as he asks prodding questions that the other soldiers seldom want to answer. In a welcome touch, the protagonist gets some screen too as the others grab his camera while he is urinating (his face as he talks about developing film stock depicting the horrors of war is unforgettable), plus he is visible in the haunting, memorable ending. The best aspect of '84C MoPic' is possibly the dialogue. Some of it is downright maudlin and the movie feels plodding at times early on, but as the story progresses and the soldiers open up more to the protagonist, things grow increasingly interesting. Of particular note is the unit's lieutenant waxing poetic about the army being an "equal opportunity employer", excited to be in on the action since it may lead to a promotion (sentiments that cause his drafted underlings to recoil), plus one of his subordinates declaring that "out here, the bush is the boss", not military rank. We never quite get to know all the characters in that much depth, but where each is coming from is always evident and as such this makes for a superb insight into the less glorious and action-packed elements of fighting in war.

As a Viet Nam veteran, I saw this movie on cable approximately 1 year after it was made. I was actually under the impression that this film was a documentary and not a movie. The realism and events were common place in "NAM". Not for the faint of heart. The film depicts a LRRP ( Long Range Reconisance Patrol) on one of its missions. It very vividly describes the terrain, problems, booby traps and other adverse conditions met by our troops during the Viet Nam Campaign. It also informs the viewer of some of the tactics used by the Viet Cong, the North Vietnamese Army and the U.S Forces during this war. It brings the thoughts, emotions and feelings of the patrols members as events occur during this patrol.

When I first watched this film I was in the 82nd at the time. It looked like an Army uncut documentary. My friends and I watched it several times looking for errors. The only error we could find (and it was a stretch) was the helicopter in the final scene had modified landing skids that were not developed till later. That helo also had a red checklist that probably would not have been used.The boots were tied right and worn-out in the right places. The rucks were heavy and carried like people who did that a lot. They wore their equipment right and each had the fitness level of an infantryman. The short-timer caught the spirit of what it meant to be short. Our short timers said the same stupid comments. "I'm so short I could halo off a dime" is funny the first time you hear it, not the 50th.Every squad seems to have the same people in it. This movie captured that to a "T." They talked way to much for a LRRP unit but it makes sense if you put grunts in front of a camera.Hands down one of the most realistic war movies ever made. In subtle ways this captures what it is like to be a grunt.

This is a unique film. It not only is filmed from a first person POV, but it didn't glamourize war as even humanist films do. There is not too much action yet the film is still fascinating. Instead, the film features what soldiers do in between all the glamourized gunfights. The soldiers camp out, quietly hike, interact and create tension amongst each other and also grow closer, scout out Vietcong positions, and talk about home. This is the most realistic depiction of Vietnam missions in film. The action is mostly incoherent, making it more realistic. There isn't any plagarized, motivating score (Pearl Harbor) set to dozens of soldiers running in slow motion. There are a few gunshots out of the jungle and a man goes down. THe film is emotional and powerful, a great war film. 8/10 or ***1/2 stars out of ****
