Charlie Mopic - The Vietnam War Film You've Been Waiting For #viral #classicmovies #vietnammovie

Every GenZ and Millennial should be made to watch this movie. As a GenX Veteran, when I saw this, I sad to myself, "This is a war movie. This is what it's really like!" All love and respect to the Charlie Hunters! LRRPs (Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol) All the way! Airborne!

This is one of those movies you find purely by accident. Usually a comment in a discussion forum or a throwaway comment heard elsewhere. When found though, this movie will deliver an hour and a half well worth your time.84 Charlie Mopic is the operational call sign of the Motion picture unit assigned to a reconnaissance patrol in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The Mopic unit is making an Army documentary whilst tagging along with the patrol.The movie is filmed purely through the lens of the camera following the small group of men as they are air lifted in to their mission and finally out again. Along the way a wonderful story unfolds.Fortunately the camera is relatively steady and is absolutely NOT "Shakey cam" as, personally, that would have me switch off early. The group is made up of individual personalities that span the breadth of those you might find in a war situation. The joker guy, the super serious guy, the new guy, the grunt type guy, the nervous guy etc.... Their personalities all meld to make a cohesive unit that was probably typical. Each has a story that is relayed to us via group and individual interviews.There are some operational flaws as pointed out in other reviews, noise discipline seems to be the biggest one, a few tactical flaws too but, those aside the movie gets grittier as it moves along. The characters play their roles with an "honesty" you can feel and that comes across as very believable which helps the viewer immerse quickly into the movie.By the end of the movie you're absolutely rooting for the guys, you just can't help it as you've been in their group for the whole mission and come to know each one of them. The up close and personal feel of the movie is relayed extremely well.These units operated under overwhelming odds and once compromised, decisions had to be made that to those not exposed to combat would call barbaric. The decisions made, had the benefit of the mission and the majority of the group in mind. So was the nature of the Vietnam war and that element is captured in the movie.Great movie that starts right at the beginning and holds us to the end. It's up there with "The boys in Company C" as an underexposed gem.
