Good Morning is a 1959comedyfilm from director Yasujiro Ozu, one of only six films that he made in colour, in which two boys go on a silence strike in an attempt to pressure their parents into buying a television set.
What you end up with in "GoodMorning, Vietnam" is a peculiar hybrid -- a Robin Williams concert movie welded clumsily onto the plot from an old Danny Kaye picture.
Visually, the movie is stultifyingly uninteresting, especially when Williams is stuck in his chair monologuing into the mike.
GoodMorning, Vietnam is rated R, mostly for its use of strong language
The story is good, the dialog is great, but it is as a whole fair.
The art created for this movie is breath taking, but there’s so much happening all at the same time that in parts it turns into a jumbled mess of stimulus.
The movie is plagued with factual errors about underwater related subjects; everything from submarine life to current technology.
