Film
1060: Good Morning, Vietnam
Trivia: Robin Williams's portrayal
of Adrian Cronauer has led to
confusion as to the beliefs of the real Cronauer. Cronauer has said that the
film is about 45 percent accurate, according to a biography on Robin Williams.
Cronauer has said that the film misrepresented him to make him seem anti-war,
when he was, in his own words, "anti-stupidity". In fact, today
Cronauer - who is now a lawyer - remains an active Republican and was a
vice-chairman of the 2004 Bush-Cheney re-election campaign. Furthermore,
Cronauer has also said that if he'd done half the things Williams did in the
film, he would've been court-martialed and sent to Fort Leavenworth.
This
movie was filmed in Thailand, not Vietnam. On the back cover of early copies of
the film, street signs can be seen in Thai.
