Description

 							
  
  
  
  It has been
over twenty-five years since the Americans pulled out of Vietnam, their most ignominious defeat ever. With nearly 60,000
dead and over 300,000 wounded the long-fought war was seen as a PR disaster by some and a focus of anti-war sentiment by
others. The war helped defeat two Presidents, left hundreds of thousands suffering, and is still one of the hottest
debating subjects across America. From The Deer Hunter to Platoon the Vietnam cycle of films that America has been
producing since the 1970s has had an impact on audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The Pocket Essential Vietnam War
offers an overview of the genre - including its many sub-genres: the training film Full Metal Jacket, the anti-war
diatribe Platoon, the Vietnam Vet saga Rambo: First Blood, and the surreal Apocalypse Now. The book aims to show the
ways in which these films operate as fantasy wish-fulfillment (re-writing the war in The Green Berets and Rambo II), an
attempt to come to terms with the war as an event (The Deer Hunter) and simply as the opportunity for action (Hamburger
Hill). Loved by audiences, debated over by critics, and frequently used on film studies and history courses, the Vietnam
War film has a wide appeal.

  Impressive in scope and insight 19 May
2005
  By reviewer - 
  For such a short, little book (just over 90 pages), I was really impressed by
the detail and thought put into it. Jamie Russell is a terrific writer and shows some real insight. I don't agree with
his anlysis of some films, but he offers sound arguments that are difficult to rebut.
  
  Almost all of the
Vietnam War films you can think of are given worthy review here, and certainly many you would'nt immediately think of as
well (e.g., Taxi Driver, Forrest Gump, Tigerland).
  
  Beyond the Intro and Conclusion, there are 5 chapters
to this book, reflecting Russell's demarcation of the major themes of the Vietnam War Movie genre: "Hard Core, Man": The
Vietnam Combat Movie, "This Is This": The Vet Movie, "Charlie Don't Surf!": Drugs and Surrealism in the Combat Zone,
"Hell No! We Won't Go!": The Counter-Culture & The Protest Movement, "Do We Get To Win This Time?" The 1980s Return
To 'Nam, and finally "When Heaven and Earth Collided:" Telling a Differnt Story.
  
  This book is more than
just a synopsis of each movie. It is a thoughtful and intelligent look at a cultural phenomenon, and well worth the
price.
