Product Description
Though the anti-war sentiments of Hamburger Hill come through loud and clear, the film is squarely on the side of those courageous, much-maligned Americans who fought and died in Vietnam. Based on a true incident, the story takes place in 1969, as the 101st Airborne Division confronts the Vietcong in a bloody battle over Hill 937 (aka "Hamburger Hill") in the Ashua Valley. During the next 10 days, both sides incur heavy losses, but the Cong refuse to surrender the hill. The ultimate American "victory" turns out to be a hollow one indeed. Scripted by Vietnam war vet Jim Carabatsos, Hamburger Hill not only underlines the futility of the war but also the pressures brought to bear upon the troops by an insensitive, often hostile media. By utilizing a cast of unknowns, director Jim Irvin deftly avoids the Hollywoodized slickness of such bigger-budgeted efforts as Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter.

WAR's like all WAR's are stupid and senseless.
The Old men send Young Men and Women to fight and die for...well, you know.
This series of engagements shows the futility of WAR.
A nothing hill amongst a series of nothing hills we just gave back watered with the Blood
of OUR Hero's.
Fighting and Dying for EACHOTHER.
Not some Politician 10,000 miles away.
Buy it! Blu-ray made it better.
The amazing thing about this movie is how REALISTIC the camaraderie between soldiers actually feels.
I bought the Italian Region B (i have a player) because I suppose the powers that be do not think its worth the transfer.
I total pity. If you get a chance to see this movie do so.

Immer wieder erfolgt über Tage ein sinnloser Ansturm auf den von vietnamesischen Kräften gehaltenen Hügel, der zahlreichen amerikanischen Soldaten das Leben kostet, auch durch eigene Hubschrauberangriffe („Friendly Fire“). Die Soldaten werden dabei sprichwörtlich zu Hackfleisch verarbeitet (daher der Name des Hügels).
Besonders eindrucksvoll wird der Wahnsinn gezeigt, als die amerikanischen Soldaten bei einem weiteren Angriff den nun völlig durchnässten Hügel stürmen wollen und dabei wegen des vielen Schlamms und des gnadenlosen Verteidigungsfeuers verlustreich scheitern.
Auch die Schlussszene des Films, als den Überlebenden die Anstrengungen und der Verlust ihrer Kameraden deutlich anzusehen ist, ist beeindruckend gefilmt.
Im völligen Kontrast hierzu sind die Szenen, die vor Beginn der Kampfhandlungen spielen und mit Hits der 60er Jahre unterlegt sind.
„Hamburger Hill“ liegt auf der am 30.04.2021 erschienenen Amaray Blu-ray von NSM Records in der Uncut – Fassung vor. Im Vergleich zu meiner alten DVD von Concorde sind hier sowohl zusätzliche Handlungsszenen als auch zwei zusätzliche blutige Kriegs-Szenen enthalten.
Die zusätzlichen Handlungsszenen liegen in der deutschen Sprachfassung dabei in Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln vor.
Die Bildqualität von „Hamburger Hill“ im anamorphen Format 1.85:1 ist während der ganzen Laufzeit (110 Minuten) sehr gut und erreicht Blu-ray Qualität. Lediglich ist ganz wenigen Szenen ist ein leichtes „Filmkorn“ bemerkbar. Dies stört aber nicht.
Der deutsche und englische Ton ist ebenfalls sehr gut.
Extras sind im Umfang von rund 35 Minuten auf der Blu-ray drauf (deutsch untertitelt), darunter u. a. eine Featurette zum Film selbst sowie eine sehr interessante Hintergrund-Featurette zum Vietnamkrieg, beginnend vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
Von meiner Seite aus 4,5 Sterne für „Hamburger Hill“.
