You idiots, clearly this is the most pro-war film there is. Examining the psyche and politics behind the Vietnam era and the justification for our involvement.

Maybe they thought the feelimgs of anger would resonate with us after seeing the savage nature of those vietnam fucking shits, like when they blew Private Buddy's face clean off. He was only a pup damn it!
>>
What Army Dog does in the sequel to cats is the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed
>>
Pure war-kino, right here.

How this extremely problematic film got green-lit in these enlightened days is beyond me. If this were the early 2000s, it might be a different story. But this is just on another level

How good is the directors commentary though?

It's essentially a long and intricate speech on how every single one of those vietname fucking shits deserved to bebe burned alive.

It's actually crazy that this was allowed.
>>
>that scene where Connor returns home on leave and goes to visit the widow of his dead friend.

That was harrowing stuff. I thought it was a bit unnecessary how he described 'slitting that gook's throat' to get revenge in very vivid detail.
>>
>>68714800
I don't know why they even let Connor join in.

He was great at capturing his character in the movie, but you can tell a lot of the message of the film went over his head. He just barks to try and keep up with the director

I don't cry a lot at films but that scene when he is a civilian dog and David Schwimmer calls him a good boy and asks him "Where's your bone?" because he wants to play fetch with Army Dog... That 1000 yard stare army dog gives as he recalls finding the mass grave of charred skeletons in Bosnia.
>>
>>68715675
Bosnia? Are you talking about the sequel?
>>
>>68715814
I think he's talking about the prequel set in nazi germany, where Buddy's greatgreatgreatgrandfather befriends a jew. I know that he was a grandpa because the dog actor was wearing those old looking glasses. I do dislike their extremely explicit and ultrarealist portrayal of the Romanian pogroms.
>>
>>68715814

You clearly haven't see the three hour extended cut which further explores Army Dog's military career in the years after Nam.

>that scene where AD watches his buddy get dragged through Mogadishu by the skinnies still resonates with me.
>>
>>68713381
That final scene when the dog calls in the air strike on his own position as a decoy to allow the Pashtun rescued tea boy/interpreter to escape the Taliban.

Fucking haunting.

I wouldn't really call that "pro-war", I just think it goes to show that we all become animals in a combat zone.

>They say I'm all bark and no bite. Shit, I might as well be a tree. But they don't know what I did back in that jungle. They don't know what it's like to see your best friend explode next to you on hill 347. And to think I did it all for a scooby snack... heh. Kind of funny in a fucked up way.

>I still see them when I sleep at night. The fucking tunnel cats moving around under you, just waiting for you and your platoon to be vulnerable. I miss torching those Siamese bastards; miss hearing their loud meows as the flame envelops their tunnel. They deserved it for what they did to Spot. And it's not like what you see in hollywood, in those movies like Cats vs Dogs. No, that's G rated compared to what I've seen. But where was I? The year was 1968...
