I remember when De Palma came to the University of South Carolina hosted by FILM 565. He was doing a Q&A on Carrie, Body Double. I saw Casualties of War at the UA in Berkeley. The Ant Farm Sequence, Erickson coming out of PTSD on MUNI in SF. The stupendous vistas. The Great Dale Dye. Nobody made a flick about NAM for half a decade. A powerful film that sticks in your head for a week.

From the research I've done about the real story, a lot of what was portrayed in the film is very true to fact there may have been some minor changes as well as there isn't any other biopic but it really got to the heart of what the story was about and how it affected the main character that Michael J Fox's character is based on

My brother who fought in Vietnam, told me a story of another called him a racist slur he never heard before . When another soldier explained to him it was an insult. He got the guy alone and hit him with a shovel. The guy never saw it coming

I can say many good things about the Brian De Palma-directed drama thriller war flick that is Casualties of War - only thing I can say is Michael J Fox completely broke typecast by playing a Vietnam war veteran who’s life changed for the worse the moment his unit engaged in sexual assault and murder of an innocent girl whilst on Hill 192 during the Vietnam war. He broke my heart with his astonishing performance showcasing heroism and masculine vulnerabilities as the guy who said no to be part of a grizzly crime like this. The fact that De Palma casted him really shows that he looks at things in off-centre in a good way when it comes to actors in his works. Even though I’m happy that he’s waging war against Parkinson’s disease with his Michael J Fox Foundation due to fact his career has been permanently cut short thanks to the Parkinson’s disease he has to deal with, I give anything to live in a world where Michael J Fox carried on acting had he not had Parkinson’s (he still gets to have his Foundation regardless). In this world if he did Casualties of War, he would’ve starred in the Antoine Fuqoa-directed Tears of The Sun as US Navy Lieutenant AK Waters (instead of Bruce Willis), heck even appearing in the Ridley Scott-directed Black Hawk Dawn as a Canadian marine - poor guy will go from being the Teen Wolf/Family Ties guy to being Marty McFly to being a bonafide war film star - being in same category as the likes of anyone whose names are popular that’s been in war film or multiple like Josh Hartnett, Ewen Bremner, Tom Sizemore, Jason Isaacs, Tom Hardy, Sam Worthington, Brad Pitt, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Hanks etc Band of Brothers would be more awesomer if Michael J Fox was in it as a general or a colonel.

Hello. I'm Vietnamese, I really burst into tears when I watched this movie, I don't blame anyone, I don't forget what America did to innocent Vietnamese people in the past, but I also want to be able to Show the friendliness of Vietnamese people to the world. Now that I'm free, can you help me translate all of the girl's dialogue in this movie? if possible😊

My uncle did two tours in Vietnam. He saw his best friend get blown to pieces by a land mine. He was about 10 yards behind him when it happened. He RARELY would discuss it...for obvious reasons. We watched this movie one year at Thanksgiving. At the end of the movie I was stunned speechless. My uncle turned to me and said "Now THAT was Vietnam. Don't believe all the sugar coated shit that you kids have been fed. I went to war as an 18 year old kid thinking the Vietnamese were the enemy. I came back KNOWING the enemy." I never asked him to elaborate on it.

Heartbreaking, because it's true. And, in the end, these men never got a lifetime in jail. Living happy lives, I suppose. Right is right and wrong is wrong. But, I thank this soldier for speaking up. She will be remembered. Drafting people into war is cruel. It brings in the wrong people, and the innocent. This has stopped thankfully. It is a person who chooses now.

And it worked. Michael J. Fox was supposed to look like a nice, trustworthy, good hearted young man in contrast to his evil team mates. Michael did great job in this movie. You really felt his fear, anger, helplessness and disgust. It was really heartbreaking moment when he found out the girl beaten up with torn up clothes and hungry.

I saw this movie sometime around 5th Grade going into 6th Grade and even then this movie had an impact on me and made me sad and scared because of the hell the innocent Vietnamese Girl went through. I'm 28 now and don't get as sad and scared when I watch the movie, I get more mad and hungry for justice like Eriksson. I looked up a picture of the real-life counterpart of the character that Sean Penn portrayed sometime late last night/early this morning and my first thoughts were, there's the Bastard😠 That's why I love Michael J Fox's character as well as the real-life counterpart because.., I saw myself in that person.. someone who had gone through so much hell like everyone else and his gut instinct was.. I don't care what's going on I'm doing fucked up things for no apparent reason whatsoever. Plus his character as well as the real-life person made me feel safe and made me feel like I can contain my sanity in a squad full of insanely bad people while standing up for myself and others.

I'm thinking. Could there be a chance that Eriksson and that Vietnamese girl would have love between them in the movie? To be honest, I liked the scenes where Eriksson and the Vietnamese girl were alone, especially even when the soldier was comforting the girl.
