That would exclude many movies using your logic.
I've watched the movie a few times but although they took liberties in some areas the truth is that the war caused many soldiers to loose their minds/souls. This movie took it to the extreme. Personally I'm not a big fan of the movie either though there were parts that were filmed very well. That being said - I don't think it was meant to be a authentic representation of the day - but like Lord of the Flies - a general overview of the human condition when men are placed in a situation beyond what anyone could endure. Someone who was once innocent - kind and loving turns into a psychotic killer and insane

It has a few decent lines, such as the I love the smell of in the morning, plus the classic music being played.
It would have been better without all the talk over.
The ending just feels rushed, and a bit of a mess.
Some things make no sense such as cutting the chefs head off, as how would they know he was going to order an air strike. And how much film did the photographer have and why so many cameras, and would the film not have gone off in the heat if he was staying in the jungle, unless he was shooting with no film.
What was the point of going after Marlon Brando when he seemed to be too far away to be a problem.
