The final movie in Oliver Stone's Vietnam trilogy follows the true story of a Vietnamese village girl who survives a life of suffering and hardship during and after the Vietnam war. As a freedom fighter, a hustler, young mother, a sometime prostitute, and the wife of a US. marine, the girl's relationships with men suggests an analogy of Vietnam as Woman and the U.S. as Man.

Alternative Versionen
The UK cinema and video release has been cut by 55 seconds to obtain a '15' certificate. Numerous scenes were affected, particularly the rape and torture shots. In Ireland, the uncut version also initially earned an '18'. It was re-submitted in its cut British version which yet again earned an '18'. This decision was then taken to the Films Appeal Board, who downgraded the certificate to '15' on 16th February 1994. The UK DVD carries an Irish '18' while the British certificate is '15'.

9/10

an unrecognised masterpiece

I don't understand why this film has been rated so poorly, it really deserves better. The breath-taking landscapes, subtle imagery, the overall excellent craftsmanship alone make this movie worth seeing.

The unique and very personal perspective of this movie makes it hard to keep your distance. Some scenes are rather brutal, but these scenes are necessary for telling a realistic story. Definitely no Disney family movie though.

I give it a 9 out of 10, because even with 140 minutes runtime the story feels rushed and crammed. Sometimes less is more, I shall read the books now.
