i really liked this movie. i had to see it for school, but i really enjoyed watching it. it was touching and funny at al the right times. its a disappointment that no one is posting on this board. lets start something up then. our favorite characters? favorite quotes? somethign!!!
shareI love this movie and as a Vietnam film, I think it is highly under-rated. You never hear it mentioned among the supposed "greats" (Platoon, Apocalypse Now, The Deerhunter, etc).
My favorite parts are when they make Lt. Hawk look like an idiot in his meeting and then crack up when he walks out. "And if you DO! And if you DO!"
Of course, Williams is great throughout, but my favorite part of his is when he says "BIG DOGS, BIG DOGS, LANDING ON MY FACE!"
"Good morning Vietnam? What is that supposed to mean?"
"Well, Sir, I guess it means, umm... Good morning, uh, Vietnam"
"He asks that you describe the CONTENTS of the duffle, and not the duffle itself; because all duffles look a-like."
"My God, it's Mardi Gras and I'm on the main float."
"U.S. Air Force. The hat does give you away."
"Creten camouflage. If you want to blend into a crowd of drunken Greeks, there's nothing better."
"WHAT DOES THREE UP AND THREE DOWN MEAN TO YOU, AIRMAN?!?"
"End of an inning?"
Hi all,
I played the role of Tuan in GMVN. It's been almost 20 years since it was made, and to this date I still get comments from people on how much they've enjoyed it. It's such a pleasure and honor for me to have worked with all the people involved - from Barry, Robin, to all the Thai locals. They've made such a deep and permanent impact on me.
It's nice to see that I got to be a part of something that people still enjoy.
Regards,
Tom (aka Tung T Tran)
Tom, you were great in the movie. Good Morning Vietnam is my second favourite movie of all time. I think that Robin Williams is the greatest actor in the world.
shareWhat a pity that I haven't seen this film yet but I will find it some day .
Good morning, Vietnam!
Just watched this movie for the first time (I have no idea why this one flew under my radar), and it's now my favorite Robin Williams movie. Hilarious and touching at the same time. I was laughing throughout the film and was almost in tears at the end. Has been added to my DVD wish list.
shareTom! What an honor to have you visit us! You role made an impact on me!
Whatever did you do with your life!??? If you don't care to answer, we will understand.
Blessings...

One of my favorite scenes is when Cronauer does the impression of Walter Cronkite.
By the way the line : "What it is what it shall be what it was" is stuck in my head. Can anybody tell me if it origunally appeared somewhere else in a poem or a play, becaus I could swear I heard it somewhere before.
Thanks
This is one of my favorite movies about the VN war because it touches more on the human aspect and growing up this movie and the song by Louis Armstrong just brings beautiful memories when this movie touches on a sad topic of war and its effects on people who were indirectly/directly affected by it.

If you look at the Quotes section of the GMVN IMDB page, it has tons of great quotes from the film.
