Talk:O.k. (film)

The plot really takes place in Germany?
This article says that "a four-man US fireteam on patrol seizes a passing young Vietnamese girl," and later it says that "the plot takes place in a Bavarian forest." Why would US military personnel be patrolling a Bavarian forest? Is it during WWII? Or perhaps a training exercise for US soldiers stationed in post-war Germany? And why would a Vietnamese girl be in a Bavarian forest? Is she an immigrant or refugee living in Germany? The article should explain those things, because they are likely to confuse the reader. (They certainly confused me.) 74.71.74.187 (talk) 20:39, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Presumably, the story takes place in a Bavarian forest, because the soldiers are talking German with a thick Bavarian accent and the forest looks more like a central european forest than a Vietnamese one. But the Names of the GI's are American and the girl has a Vietnamese name. Thats part of the Brechtian estrangement effect that should prevent the viewer to just immerse into the narrative and keep a critical distance. It has (at least superficially) nothing to do with WW2 or GI's in Germany. Cabana85 (talk) 02:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
