Synopsis: Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
Synopis: Set in 1965; Produced and released in 1987.In GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, which is based on a true story, Cronauer (Robin Williams) is a nonconformist with a wicked sense of humor who is transferred from Crete to Saigon. Outrageous and over the top, Cronauer speaks in accents, creates characters, pokes fun at everyone--including the President--and spins banned rock and roll tunes. While his antics amuse the masses, they also put him in hot water with his superior officers, particularly Lt. Steven Hauk (Bruno Kirby), who would prefer that the radio show be censored, sanitized, and completely noncontroversial. Cronauer takes his show outside the radio station when he starts to teach Vietnamese locals English in an effort to meet pretty, demure Trinh (Chintara Sukapatana). He befriends Trinh's brother, Tuan (Tung Thanh Tran), who becomes an unlikely comrade in uncertain times. Directed by Barry Levinson (DINER, AVALON), the film features a tour-de-force performance from Williams, who improvised much of the comedy used in the radio shows, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.User Reviews: Good Morning, Vietnam

Alan Smithee - See all Alan Smithee's reviews The perfect vehicle for launching Robin Williams career. The serious nature of the war is treated fairly, but the true heart of the film is Williams being Williams in the DJ sequences. Watch and you can see why this film launched his career. Well done.

Pros: Great Movie Great Music
Cons: None
The is a great movie. The music is the music I grew up with and the movie points out the not so great things we do in war. Truth.
