80’s films like “Platoon,” “Full-Metal Jacket” and the underrated “Hamburger Hill” appeared to be the epoch of America’s wrestling with the war legacy. But quizing Viet Nam sequences in “Dead Presidents” brought in something new. Perhaps it was simply war from the Black man’s perspective, though the film seems to argue that a good cure for racial disharmony is being caught in a crossfire while is Charlie unloading his ammunition at you, quizing with no regards quizing to your skin color. But there’s more. “Platoon” portrayed Viet Nam as tragic, but also as a landscape for artistic symbolism, as exemplified by Willem Dafoe’s Christ-like death. Viet Nam in “Dead Presidents” offers no room for artistry; it’s simply a “kill or be killed” backdrop where soldiers become intimately familiar with the sight of a man’s twigs and berries cut off and stuffed in his mouth, (while he’s still alive!)
