Hamburger Hill (1987, John Irvin)

25/03/2024

Hamburger Hill is a 1987 film directed by John Irvin, inspired by the Battle of Hamburger Hill, which occurred during the Vietnam War.

Vietnam, 1969, a group of young paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division, under the command of Sergeant Frantz, is sent to the A Shau valley to try to wrest Hill 937 from the North Vietnamese, which, following the battle, will be nicknamed "Hamburger Hill" (meat grinder hill), due to the significant losses suffered by American soldiers.

Filmed between October and December 1986, Hamburger Hill is part of the Vietnam-movie genre of the period, coming out a year after Oliver Stone's Platoon and at the same time as Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

“Descubrí que me hallaba bajo las órdenes de un negro villano y atrapado en una red de criminales. ¿Qué podía hacer yo? cada palabra que decía para mejorar la situación, se consideraba una traición, igual que sucedió anoche.”

All time unreliable narrator move was Watson opening Valley of Fear with “Oh by the way, I knew about Moriarty the whole time. Here’s an unrelated story about a guy’s best friend helping him fake his death.”

Ingredients:

1 1/2 OZ. WHITE RUM (YVONNE’S USES PLANTATION 3-STAR)

1 OZ. SALTED CUCUMBER-WASABI SYRUP

1 OZ. FRESH LIME JUICE

1/2 OZ. ITALICUS ROSOLIO BERGAMOT LIQUEUR

1 DASH ORANGE BITTERS

CHILLED SODA WATER, TO TOP

Preparation:

Add all of the ingredients except the soda to a shaker, then shake well with ice. Strain into a Collins glass filled with crushed ice, then top with soda water, and garnish.

SALTED CUCUMBER-WASABI SYRUP:

In a blender, add 20 grams of wasabi (Yvonne’s uses Kinjirushi Nama Oroshi grated wasabi), 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of fresh cucumber juice, and 1/2 tsp. of kosher salt. Blend until the sugar is dissolved and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

How long did Watson receive his army pension? In “A Study in Scarlet” hey says the Government gave him nine months to improve health (and as we know his injuries prevented him from being recommissioned to army service) but later in “Soscombe Old Place” which takes place in the early Edwardian Era (I’m assuming) he tells Holmes he spends half his wound pension on the horse track.

His wound pension appears to be as ambiguous as the wound itself: we have one account of it in A Study in Scarlet, and other accounts elsewhere. It's also mentioned in The Valley of Fear (if Watson is not careful, he might have to pay his year's pension to Moriarty for slander). VALL is dated variously, but presumably occurs not too long before 1891, certainly well after that initial nine months Watson spoke of.

It was certainly the case that out-pensions could be awarded for life. Perhaps Watson was examined a second time, and awarded a more durable pension on that occasion? (<- No idea if this was ever done.) Like so many inconsistencies in canon, we may theorize about it as we please.

Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.
