Great point.
Half the movie doesn't make sense.
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." - The Dalai Lama
They saw white people, and spoke English. What's there to understand?
They also only used english when they were talking to the guys with guns to lower their weapons.
shareWhat should they have spoken to people from another country? Welsh? French? I was brought up to believe that English is the widest spoken 2nd language. Common sense and all that...
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. -Isaac Asimov
English is a more universal language, if they see a group of of unknown people there is a higher chance they would understand English.
Regardless, it was done much more for the viewing audience than anything.
Also, quite ironic to see Americans flee into Vietnam.
When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.
Yeah, it wasn't the most realistic part of the movie. However, I, for one, am glad they said it in English. As an English-speaker, it was more impactful for me than subtitles would have been!
