creepy
An hour and 38 minutes into Hearts and Minds between the scence where Nixon is talking to the former POWs at a dinner party and the scene where the Vietamese man laments the loss of his daughter, is the creeeeeeeepppiiiest scene ever. After we see the bombs dropping and hear them whistle to the ground, the picture shifts to black and white and the only thing playing in the back ground is a high pitched eerie tone and the sound of remote cold wind. We get a black and white picture of complete destruction, a town that is now nothing except shards of bamboo and dirt, and then a close up of a womans face contorted with pain and tears. We can't hear her cry but the silence seems to magnify her pain as we listen to the high pitched whistle and the sound of desolate wind. And next we see the source of her lament- her dead children. This scene makes me feel like it's the end of the world! It down right scares the shit out of me. I recognize Davis wants us to feel for this woman and her pain and I acknowledge that I do. Davis's rhetoric has worked? Anyway.... craziest creepiest scene ever. Did you not find it disturbing?
