Good morning, Vietnam (1987) [47/50]



Language: English

Cast:  Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, Tung Thanh Tran

Story: Robin Williams plays a radio jockey/ Disc jockey who brings his unique likable style and humor to the armed forces radio in Vietnam. He is soon faced with the realities of the land. While gaining popularity among the troops.

Screenplay and direction: Both well done.

Performances: Robin Williams is exceptional as usual but I might be a little biased because I am such a huge fan of his. Forest Whitaker, Tung Thanh Tran and the rest of the cast do a good job as well.

Interesting:  For me it was the ending and the sombreness of the movie beneath the humor.

USP: Robin Williams’s humor AND acting

Downside: Some might find it a bit graver than their predisposed expectation of a “funny” guy’s movie.

Verdict: I liked it, recommend it 7.5/10
