Mark Stoneman<p>I watched "Hamburger Hill" (dir. John Irvin, 1987) for the first time this afternoon. A brutal and powerful film set in 1969 during the Vietnam War, it focuses on a single platoon in an infantry assault uphill against strong positions. It grapples with core socio-cultural themes from the time, while also using graphic violence to highlight aspects of combat still relevant today.<br /><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Movies</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/VietnamWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VietnamWar</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WarMovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WarMovies</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WarAndSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WarAndSociety</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MilitaryHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MilitaryHistory</span></a></p>
