Film Analysis / Hamburger Hill - An Accurate Depiction of War In Vietnam?
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the film in relation to the reality of actual events. Reviewers found several production mistakes within the film and labeled the acting as lacking, but many vets still refer people to the film rather than to answer questions in detail, even 30 years after the fact. The difficulty rests in knowing that it depicts reality far too faithfully so that many vets cannot bear to watch it, and those who were present direct questioning people to the film, thereby repelling unwelcome questions. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Historical Accuracy Of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now / A Modernist View Of The Reality Of The Vietnam War
[ send me this essay ]
This 8 page paper considers the issue of the historical accuracy of the depiction of the Vietnam War era as a whole as well as specific events presented in the film Apocalypse Now. Though critics have argued that the film presents one of the most emotionally and socially accurate views of the Vietnam War, and even though the film also presents some historical context which is factual, it can be argued that the actual events of the film do not appear to have a substantive base in historical factuality. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Vietnam War - as Told to Movie Audiences - 'Coming Home,' 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Born on the 4th of July'
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses three Vietnam War movies in the context of their symbology and the ways in which they represent the attitudes of Americans directly involved in the war and those presenting their cinemagraphic viewpoints of a war that did not have the simplistic good guy against bad guy scenario. By the late 1980s, both television and movie producers had become willing to consider Vietnam as a useful and marketable topic. Ironically, and more than probably - accidentally, America's artistic involvement in Vietnam has mimicked its military presence there. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
