84 Charlie Mopic offers the Vietnam experience as seen through the eyes of a combat photographer (Mopic is slang for the Army Motion Picture Unit). Byron Thames plays a combat cameraman who has already been on two tours of duty; he goes on a third because he is intrigued by a reel of film found on the body of a dead photographer. Thames must answer to green lieutenant Jonathan Emerson and experienced sergeant Richard Brooks. In straight-on, non-judgemental fashion, we are shown the day-to-day struggle to stay alive, meeting the main characters in the natural course of action. As the mission winds down, Thames is compelled to abandon his camera to rescue a fellow soldier; as a result, yet another roll of film returns to headquarters without the photographer. 84 Charlie Mopic isn't about politics or collective guilt; it's about survival.

Picked up this title from a war movie list . Was kind of hard to find (thanks alibris) ,was also kind of hard to watch. Slow paced to the end and then kind of gut wrenching. Story of an army foot patrol in Vietnam being observed by a new lieutenant and an army cameraman. Delves into who these soldiers were and how they were coping with being in a war and in combat.
Not a light movie but definitely worth watching, if you are a student of war , peace or you are part of the generation that grew up during the Vietnam war era.
