The target audience was anyone who wanted to see the lighter, more human side of the American military.

The tone throughout the movie is both funny and sad.

Yes, the film is biased.

No, there hasn't been a reliable representation of the conflict in Vietnam from the American filmmaking studios - they have never shown the other side - THE VIETNAMESE.

I do not think any of the scenes represent the reality of the war. The reality of the war is somewhat buried, and sadly with the people who blame the "liberal media" for losing the war - it will stay that way.

I know my answer is extremely pale in comparison to the previous answer given by sdvwalli - my kudos go out to him for such a fine answer - but I did watch the film and know a little on the wars in Vietnam from 1940 - 1975.

The target audience, like all of Robin Williams' films, is people who think they are cool, but really aren't. People who like to be told what to think.

The tone of the movie is funny, with a few sad points, but it is basically "Porkies Goes to War." Robin Williams is the cool kids and the idiot lieutenant and sergeant are the bitchy gym teacher.

The film is absolutely biased, and it is a terribly unreliable representation of the conflict. The man whom the film is based upon actually was interviewed at the time the film was released on NPR and he said he hated the movie.

Perhaps the scene near the end where Robin Williams is having the baseball game with the local people, that is the sort of thing many of the soldiers wanted to do, but the war got in the way.
