Summary: Obviously Misinformed
Review: The following review was written:Very unbalanced point of view, December 12, 2001
Reviewer: Larry T Stone from St. Petersburg, Fl United States
This documentary is overwhelmingly pro-war, anti-Vietnamese. It essentially demonizes the Vietnamese who fought for their country and totally disregards the fact that the US attempting to force its will on them led to the deaths of 3 million Asians. He wrote "the Vietnamese who fought for their country"
This idiot thinks that North and South Vietnam fought together
for their country, the North and South fought against each other
not together as one. North Vietnam was communist and South Vietnam was not, North Vietnam attacked South Vietnam to make it communist, South Vietnam fought against becoming communist. He wrote: "totally disregards the fact that the US attempting to force its will on them led to the deaths of 3 million Asians." Obviously mis-informed again, who is "them" that you write?
North Vietnam or South or both?
the U.S didn't force it's will on "them" We fought "with" South Vietnam to stop the North. North Vietnam created the situation and events that led to the deaths of Vietnamese by invading South Vietnam Our role there was very politcally movtivated, we wanted to stop the spread of communism. A bad political decision imho. Next time you write a review, get both sides of the story, not just your bleeding heart liberal opinion.

Summary: Very unbalanced point of view
Review: This documentary is overwhelmingly pro-war, anti-Vietnamese. It essentially demonizes the Vietnamese who fought for their country and totally disregards the fact that the US attempting to force its will on them led to the deaths of 3 million Asians. This documentary is a cheap rebuttal to the balanced documentary Vietnam: A Television History, which I highly recommend.

Summary: Too long & doesn't explain well reason for USA involvement
Review: This movie shows all the footage that gets shown on TV all the time (the guy getting the bullet in the head, the old lady running during Tet, etc.) & explores thoroughly what was going on throughout the war. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't do a good job of explaining the start of America's deepened involvement. All it says is, "America was shocked after the Korean War that China would help North Vietnam." It really should have spent 5 minutes explaining what the Korean War had to do with anything & why China's involvement was such a big deal. Outside of extensive footage, it's a bunch of interviews with the same small handful of soldiers & key figures & what they went through, so it gets kind of repetitive by the last disc (one 2-sided disc & one 1-sided disc).
