Film is still not as abused a medium as TV, but the gap is closing. The sad thing is, it takes a film like "Hearts and Minds", all too rare, to offer us the perspective of just how greatly those two mediums fail to deliver the goods, particularly with regard to "reality" and shouldering the burden of responsible journalism. The Brave are not just those that stop a bullet, but the guys who go, see, and then "tell it like it is". I was part of the Vietnam era, but was too young to serve. Anyone approaching this subject in any medium today is brave by default; anyone succeeding in taking a fresh look, or offering any level of depth or compassion regarding this great tragedy, deserves their 15 minutes of fame IMHO.
The legacy of Vietnam is going to be with us for a long, long time. Thanks nymike for the "heads up".
