"We will defend to our death the right to be misinformed."

I had forgotten about the scene where the GI has himself photographed while “posing” with a dead NVA (North Vietnamese Army) soldier.

I love Kubrick’s “reticence” about his films, often raised as a reproach. He put so much into his work.

The spirit of the VC (Viet Cong) sniper—a young woman fighting from a building with the sign My Toán, and the only heroic figure in the film—rises like a flame from the core of a Bengalese Fire.
