also fun fact that vietnam war ended in 1975 that was only 44 years ago i don’t care how hard it was for us veterans to kill people. two millions poor people died in that war, thousands of children are still born with tremendous health problems due to the effect of chemical bombings (the orange agent to be specific) i’m tired of hollywood making movies about the vietnam war and focus on how brave white people are for killing n terrorizing us
not to mention there are still around 80 million unexploded bombs in Laos alone which is making farmers afraid to work their land, keeping the country as one as the poorest in the world. 50 000 people have been killed by unexploded bombs in Laos since the end of the war, 75% of whom were children
To be honest, though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie about the Vietnam war that didn’t portray it as all fucked up. Is there one that portrays the US soldiers as brave? The ones I’ve seen portray the US soldiers as a variety of things like disillusioned, drugged-out, psychotic, desperate, beaten down or crazytown killers.
Okay, but that’s the fucking problem, mate. There is only one movie about the Vietnam/American war that has any characters that aren’t American, and that’s ‘Good Morning Vietnam’.
Every single other fucking movie has Vietnamese starring roles as ‘random Viet Cong’, ‘villager number 6′ or ‘prostitute’.
Full metal jacket even had the fucking nerve to say ‘In Vietnam, we were fighting ourselves’ removing the very idea that there might have been an opposing side at all.
