Good Morning, Vietnam

Good Morning, Vietnam is a 1987 American military comedydrama film written by Mitch Markowitz and directed by Barry Levinson.

In 1965, Airman Second Class Adrian Cronauer Williams arrives in Saigon from Crete to work as a DJ for Armed Forces Radio Service. Cronauer is greeted by Private First Class Edward Montesquieu Garlick Whitaker. Cronauers irreverence contrasts sharply with many staff members and soon rouses the ire of two of his superiors, Second Lieutenant Steven Hauk Kirby and Sergeant Major Phillip Dickerson Walsh. Hauk adheres to strict Army guidelines in terms of humor and music programming, while Dickerson is generally abusive to all enlisted men. However, Brigadier General Taylor Willingham and the other DJs quickly grow to like the new man and his brand of comedy. Cronauers show consists of unpredictable humor segments mixed with news updates vetted by the station censors and rock and roll records that are frowned upon by his superiors.Cronauer meets Trinh Chintara Sukapatana, a Vietnamese girl, and follows her to an English class. Bribing the teacher to let him take over the job, Cronauer starts instructing the students in the use of American slang. Once class is dismissed, he tries to talk to Trinh but is stopped by her brother Tuan. Instead, Cronauer befriends Tuan and takes him to Jimmy Wahs, the local GI bar, to have drinks with Garlick and the station staff. Two other soldiers, angered at Tuans presence, initiate a confrontation that Cronauer escalates into a brawl. ........
