There are many movies about Vietnam War. Most of them shows the might of US military soldiers and commanders, their courage, or Vietcong's atrocity literally. Rescue Dawn, a movie by Werner Herzog tells a Vietnam War story in a different way. A young pilot named Dieter Dengler, who is stranded somewhere in Laos after his plane is shot down. After he was captured, he was put in a captive camp where he met several fellow prisoners, which some of them are Americans. Tortured physically and psychologically, he tried hard to stay alive and escape from the camp. He shows his courage by having a strong will to return home and survive while every hope seems to fade away.
Filmed in Thailand, Rescue Dawn recreates a jungle environment where Dengler was captured and imprisoned. Director Werner Herzong is a perfectionist, he could creates a feeling like you are really in there, with all the jungle sounds, heat of the sun, and the most important, it's like you feel the sufferings that Dengler had.
Christian Bale acted very well. He could recreate a feeling of a prisoner with no hope, but because his optimism, he can survive the challenge. He even had to lose some weight to make his appearance looks like a starving captive. I think most of the scenes, he did it himself; like fighting with a snake, dragged with a buffalo, and even the scene where he must eat maggots (It's very disgusting! Just like Fear Factor). However, because Dieter Dengler is actually born in German, he should have a strong german accent, not american accent that Bale spoke in this movie.
There's a good morale in this movie where one must have a strong will to achieve something. It's shown by Dieter where he never surrender to fate. Overall, Rescue Dawn is a very good movie, it has good values, atmospheric experience, and a satisfying ending. I would really recommend this movie!
