However, the film gets away with it It would seem that the addition of because it in many ways represents the Brendan Fraser playing Alden Pyle, an way the nation as a whole was treated American on a supposed humanitarian during the international imperialist mission could only detract from Caine's jockeying. authoritative performance. Yet Fraser reminds us of his acting ability that has hidden itself in his cartoonish roles such as "Dudley Do-Right" and "George of the Jungle." His performance of the brash, idealistic American plays well against Caine's persona. Even those larger than life tendencies that are conjured up when Fraser's character bounds around the streets of Vietnam wearing a baseball cap and trailing his dog name Duke seem to enhance the scope of the American character. The conflict of the film ensues when Alden Pyle falls in love with Fowler's mistress and aims to take her away with offers of a better, more respectable life. The two men's differ ing ideologies begin to clash as they each try to win the Vietnamese beauty. As the violence in Vietnam escalates, and it begins to become clear that Pyle might not be just a naive humanitari an, the lines between romance and pol itics become muddied. The love trian gle of the film becomes a prophetic allegory of the United States', specifi cally the CIA's, involvement in the Vietnam conflict.
