In may of 1969, in Vietnam, an American squad is assigned to conquer a mountain called by the Americans as Hamburger Hill. Very well protected by the Vietnamese, a very bloody battle has happened for days, with many deaths. This realistic movie shows, almost like a documentary, some days of a platoon before reaching the top of a strategic mountain. The dramatization is great, as well as the direction of John Irvin and the performance of the cast. Today I had watched first `When Trumpets Fade', another John Irvin's film, therefore the impact of `Hamburger Hill' was very reduced. Both movies are mandatory, recommended for audiences who look for raw and naked true stories of war. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): `Hamburger Hill'
