Superb
Im surprised not more has been said or written about this fantastic piece on the vietnam war. The footage and stories from the reporters in Nam were simply mesmerizing. Basically there are several stories by reporters including a teenage looking dan rather. Walter cronkite is the host from a studio although he is on location sometimes...the stories are rarely seen footage...I've been ...

The Lessons of Vietnam?
DVD REVIEW I have previously reviewed Stanley Karnow companion book, Vietnam-A History, that goes with this ten-part series. I have reposted that review below for the convenience of the reader. Most of the political points that I have made there apply here as well. I would only add that visually some of the footage brought the message home more clearly that on the printed page and I would ...

Vietnam War Secrets
There isn't any video or television series that exposes so much about America's longest and most unpopular war. This ten-hour series on four DVDs is essential for anyone seeking answers or a better understanding of the undeclared war Vietnam and the secret bombing campaigns against Laos and Cambodia. The producer was a news producer for ABC News in Vietnam and Cambodia plus served in Vietnam as a ...

Actor Tung Thanh Tran
Actor Tung Thanh Tran, now known as Tom Tran, became an engineer in the Chicago area, married, and has three beautiful girls. I am waiting for the day he returns to the silver screen. He has a unique and special talent as a dramatic actor.

Heart of Darkness - Redux
Initially, I was reluctant to purchase this collection, because it appeared to be the same as "Battleground Viet Nam - War in the Jungle." However, I was wrong. This collection is much better. For one thing, the photography is, given time, space, elements, etc., very good and it contains a good deal of footage that I had not seen before. It is clear and well produced. It is also tightly edited ...

Excellent
This movie has spectacular scenery, and is very well photographed. It is chock full of usefull information for a person whom is considering a trip to vietnam. It gives very useful information on what to see, how to dress etc. All gives warnings of what not to do or where it is better not to go. The movie gives a great feeling of what it is like there.

Vietnam Restrospective

Topics Entertainment, 2007

Waste of Money.
What you get is a series of dis-connected vidoes produced by various government organizations throughout the mid to late 60's. What you don't get is much in ways of front line combat photography (there is some, but limited). You'd only be interested if you wanted to understand how a government uses the media to influence your views on war. Overall, a big waste of money for those looking for ...

Vietnam-As It Was

St. Clair Entertainment, 2008

not so much
The quality and speed was very good, but the product itself was less than good. This film is completely propoganda based and isn't at all what I expected. No good footage was present, and most of it was acted out with obvious government influence. This film would be great for a college level class on propoganda, but other than that I found it dull and historically bias.

Battleground Vietnam-War in the Jungle

Madacy Home Video, 2006

The right price
Yes, the techinical goof of drowning out the interviewee's with sound effects is unforgivable. But it only affects those with soft voices. The interview with Adm. Stockdale & his wife is reason alone to spend $17 on this DVD set. True heroes. They are what we should all aspire to be. The historian who periodically shows up does a fantastic job at explaining why what was done where, etc.

Salute to Combat Nurses
As a surviving combat Marine Grunt of the Viet Nam war, I want to laud this movie, that shows the very real part American nurses in Viet Nam played to support, not the war, but the soldiers and Marines who were wounded and med-evaced to an aid station, a surgical unit, or hospital ship. This was officially the first time American women served in a combat area where they could also be wounded or ...

Military Industrial Complex Surrealism
Mill Creek's VIETNAM: AMERICA'S CONFLICT is one of the strangest things I have ever seen. I say that because of what it simply is: A collection of Department of Defense & US Military made propaganda films intended to sell the war in Vietnam to America's population like MacDonald's sells hamburgers. Many viewers may be downright revolted by the content of these short films, most of which are no ...

Vietnam-Ultimate Restrospective

St. Clair Entertainment, 2008

Series title is misleading
I bought this DVD set without really knowing what it contained since there is no description of its contents here. I thought that being the "Ultimate Retospective" it would contain extensive documentary footage together with commentary and analysis by various experts as they looked back on the war in "retrospect"... Wrong! This is actually a collection of U.S. military produced documentary ...

Vietnam the unseen war is an "excellent documentary"
I just watched this documentary and I was impressed, the quality was outstanding! one of the best war photographer films about the war in VN ever made in my honest opinion. *1 hour documentary with many never before seen B&W war footage of the Viet cong & NVA very good narration and interviews with actual combat photographers that took these photos over 30 years ago. *12 picture stills from ...

Comparisons between Then and Now
This film is very interesting in how it depicts the story of the Vietnam War. To see the politicians of the that time make the same sorts of arguments that today's politicos make, in regards to the justification of the Iraq war, is stunning. It is like the same reasoning and purposes that they say we now need to be in the Middle East, they all said about Southeast Asia. Just insert the word ...
