油管影片之後的一些評論：
The reason the Chinese are portrayed as inhuman monsters in this video should be obvious.The video is from the perspective of P.F.C. Billy French, a young Marine trapped in a ferocious battle. In his mind, the Chinese are viewed as evil, nameless monsters who want to kill him and his friends, so they are portrayed as such in the video. It's also why when he comes toe-to-toe with a Chinese Soldier in the middle of the video, they are both suddenly illuminated and he views this particular soldier not as a ferocious adversary, but as another young man just as scared as he was.
Everyone needs to stop jumping to conclusions. This is not American Propaganda, it's a video showing one perspective of the war, one of a scared P.F.C. who just wants to survive. By Matt McD
Most of you people here are missing the deep symbolism behind it.
The reason why the video paints the Chinese as horrible monsters, striking from the darkness, is because it's told from the point of view of a probably nineteen year old kid, young and fresh, who has no idea what's going on. He's been told that these men are monsters, and he's being attacked by them, in the dead of night. They're killing his friends, and he knows he needs to kill these monsters himself.
Until, that is, he comes face to face with one. The scene at 2:12 is powerful, because at that point, the young kid is seeing someone probably just as young as he is, and probably wants to be there just as much as he does, which is to say, not at all. Both have been told that the other side are monsters, and both see each other as such until they come face to face in the glow of an explosion.
It's when they realize that the opponents aren't monsters, they're humans too.

"Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander." By ODST Haskell
