No.4 - They Marched Into Sunlight
《日光行军曲》

Paul Greengrass dives headfirst back into politics with a movie that focuses on two events over two days during the Vietnam War. In the U.S., University of Wisconsin students protest Dow Chemicals for producing napalm. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, a U.S. platoon walk into a Viet Cong ambush. The peaceful antiwar protest escalates into violence while 61 American lives are lost in the ambush, and these two events simultaneously stimulated student opposition to the war. With his verite style of camera work, Greengrass brought an intense, visceral energy to both Bloody Sunday and the brilliant United 93. Here’s hoping he can do it again.

本片所叙述的两个故事都发生在1967年的十月,其中一个是美国学生抗议陶氏化学公司生产凝固汽油弹用于越战,随后原本和平的游行演变为暴乱。另一个故事则是一队美军遭遇越南游击队埋伏,结果61个美国军人在枪战中丧生。影片通过两个平行的故事,引发人们对于越战的反思。
