Although its old, nice to watch grate movie, We Were Soldiers is the true story of Lt. Col. Hal Moore (Mel
Gibson), Commander of the 1st regiment, 7th US cavalry. In a time when
new technology was changing the way we fight wars, Moore takes command
of the 1st Reg. 7th Cav.; and we follow him right through to the Battle
of Ia Drang several months later. Ia Drang was the first time American
troop met with North Vietnamese Regulars during the war.
Mel
Gibson does a wonderful job displaying the many sides of Lt. Col. Moore.
He’s a man who knows his job, and knows it well. He cannot help but
believe that he is leading his men into a massacre, yet he leads them
anyway. Not because he craves glory or medals, but because his country
told him to.
Sam Elliot is Sgt Maj. Plumley, Moore’s senior
enlisted man. Plumley has seen it all, having fought in WWII and Korea;
he brings strength to the rest of the troops; the strength of
experience. He’s also really the only source of comic relief in the
entire film. Most of these humorous moments occur early in the film,
before the dramatic battle scenes begin.
What about those left at
home?? The infamous telegrams, normally delivered by a military
Chaplin, were sent by taxi. How can a wife and family expect to cope
with out some type of support? They gain their support from each other.
Lt. Col. Moore’ wife, Julie (Madeleine Stowe), takes command herself,
instructing that all telegrams be delivered to her home for delivery to
the families. Military families support each other, especially when the
military isn’t going to be there for them.
Writer, Producer, and
Director Randall Wallace did some things that others might have shirked
away from, lest they offend the fickle emotions of moviegoers. Just
because someone was a good solider and a good person, that doesn’t make
him immune to a grizzly face of death on the battlefield. War doesn’t
choose its victims, and neither did Wallace.
Dedicated to the men who gave their lives at Ia Drang and other nameless places in Vietnam, We Were Soldiers
is more than worth the time. It’s not going to be a timeless classic or
an epic for the ages, but it is a good film that serves a purpose: To
tell a story that needs to be told.
