that flew well in World War II crash-landed in 1968 in the wake of a very differ
ent war and political time. Wayne plays the hard-nosed rough-and-ready Colonel M
ike Kirby who heads a courageous bunch of tough-as-nails Green Berets determined
to capture an important enemy general. They are accompanied by a skeptical repo
rter who soon becomes a gung-ho red-white-and-blue patriot as the Colonel and th
e others lecture and show him why they must defeat the "commies." Interestingly,
despite the massive anti-war sentiments of the times, the film grossed over $11
million at the box-office and is especially notable for the fine battle scenes.
The film also features the hit song "Ballad of the Green Berets," sung by Sgt.
Barry Sadler. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide.(142 min) View trailer

Platoon [PN1997 .P527 1988] Oliver Stone's breakthrough as a director, Platoon i
s a brutally realistic look at a young soldier's tour of duty in Vietnam. Chris
Taylor (Charlie Sheen) is a 1968 college student who quits school to volunteer f
or the Army. He's shipped off to Vietnam, where he serves with a culturally dive
rse group of fellow soldiers and under the two men who lead the platoon: Sgt. Ba
rnes (Tom Berenger), whose facial scars are a mirror of the violence and corrupt
ion of his soul, and Sgt. Elias (Willem Dafoe), who maintains a Zen-like calm in
the jungle and fights with both personal and moral courage even though he no lo
nger believes in the war. After a few weeks "in country," Taylor begins to see t
he naivete of his views of the war, especially after a quick search for enemy tr
oops devolves into a round of murder and rape. Unlike Hollywood's first wave of
Vietnam movies (including The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, and Coming Home), Pla
toon is a grunts-eye-view of the war, touching on moral issues but focusing on t
he men who fought the battles and suffered the wounds. In this sense, it resembl
es older war movies more than its Vietnam peers, as it mixes familiar elements o
f onscreen battle with small realistic details: bugs, jungle rot, exhaustion, C-
rations, marijuana, and counting the days before you go home. This mix of tradit
ional war movie elements with a contemporary sensibility won Platoon four Oscars
, including Best Picture and Best Director, and a reputation as one of the defin
itive modern war movies. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide. Academy Award for Best
Picture of 1986. (120 minutes) View trailer
Purple Hearts [VHS available from Prof. Joseph] This tale of doomed romance set
against the backdrop of the Vietnam War was the last in a string of box office d
isappointments from director Sidney J. Furie before he struck gold again with Ir
on Eagle (1986). Ken Wahl stars as Dr. Don Jardian, a Navy medical officer assig
ned to duty in Vietnam. Jardian is no flag-waving patriot, however; the reluctan
t warrior is just biding his time until he can return stateside and start a lucr
ative private practice. Then he meets and falls in love with Deborah Solomon (Ch
eryl Ladd), a devoted nurse who at first keeps the handsome doctor at bay, disgu
sted by the avariciousness that led him to choose what Deborah considers a noble
profession. Eventually, however, Deborah's selflessness inspires Don and their
romance blooms despite their bloody surroundings, leading to a dangerous mission
that could separate them forever~Karl Williams, All Movie Guide. From: http://m

La 317e section (The 317th platoon) [Knapp Reserve PN1997 .T7597 1990] Story ab
out a French/Laotian platoon during May 1954 (two months before the armistice) a
s they withdraw through the jungle after the fall of Dien Bien Phu. They are slo
wly annihilated by ambushes and disease. The film captures the inarticulate angu
ish and solitude of each man by focusing on a veteran Alsatian sergeant (who fou
ght in the German army in World War II) and a young French officer fresh from mi
litary school. Their impersonal, hierarchical and sometimes hostile relationship
develops into an unlikely friendship. Both the director Shoendoerffer and the p
hotographer Coutard were veterans of the Indochina war. In French with English s
ubtitles. Based on the novel by Pierre Schoendoerffer. Videocassette release of
the 1965 French motion picture.(VHS) (94 min.)
The Odd Angry Shot [VHS available from Prof. Joseph] Director Tom Jeffrey provid
es a cathartic Australian answer (1979) to Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter. Aus
tralia's participation in the Vietnam War was as much of an alienating and soul-
searching experience for Australians as for Americans, and Jeffrey's frank portr
ayal of a group of Australian volunteers casts the war in a different light from
the perspective of a Cimino or Oliver Stone. The story concerns a corp of Austr
alian elite soldiers -- the Special Air Service troops (the equivalent of the Un
ited States' Special Forces group) -- and the elite group's more pragmatic and h
opeful attitudes -- whiling away the time in mindless diversions and cracking jo
kes. Then one of their own is killed and their feelings about the war suddenly c
hange. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide. From: http://movies2.nytimes.com.
The Quiet American [PN1997 .Q8438 2003]The mood of wry disillusion that seeps th
rough the screen adaptation of Graham Greene's novel "The Quiet American" is sou
nded in the movie's opening moments by the voice of Michael Caine musing dreamil
y on the mystique of Saigon in the early 1950's. It is a place, declares his cha
racter, Thomas Fowler, where colors and tastes seem sharper than they do elsewhe
re and where even the rain has a special intensity. Fowler is a wistfully cynica
l British journalist who has fled an arid marriage in England to live in Southea
st Asia, where he is reporting on the Vietnamese fight for independence from Fre
nch colonial rule. Fowler may be the richest character of Mr. Caine's screen car
eer. Slipping into his skin with an effortless grace, this great English actor g
ives a performance of astonishing understatement whose tone wavers delicately be
tween irony and sadness." Stephen Holden , The New York Times. From http://movie
