For the holidays, take advantage of the Phoenix editions catalog at a reduced price ???? https://editions-phoenix.fr/ --- "We Were Soldiers", with Mel Gibson, released in 2002, deals with the first battle of the Vietnam War. During it, Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore applies a completely new tactic consisting of deploying and assisting soldiers with combat helicopters. Except that... the film chooses to open with a scene where, 10 years earlier, the French army, visibly incompetent, is miserably crushed by the Vietminh. An American general even says: "The French army? Does that exist?", before the American heroes come to take over. What is the message behind this parallel? What is the message and the interest of the film? I decided to watch it again, 20 years later, and give you my verdict.
