Yes

/thread

yes
people who think it was Viet Cong apologetic or anti-American failed to understand Burns' thesis

>/threading yourself
but actually /thread

it was vo nguyen giap apologetic at worst

Unironically one of the best documentaries ever made

It's nicely done but the problem is that a lot a people, like all the posters in this thread, will saw it and think that their is no bias.
The principal people who are interviewed are from the VVAW so when you watch the doc you end up thinking that the common american soldier was thinking like John Kerry
Also you may end up thinking that the american public opinion was ok with the Anti-war activists on campus when in reality they were just like the snowflakes in Bercley today that use fantasy pronoun / think that institutional racism is real, etc.
The part when the POW are freed with Ray Charles singing made me tears up a little bit

>Marine Roger Harris (Vietnam 1967) recalls calling his mother to tell her not to believe what she reads in the newspaper or sees on TV. “We’re losing the war… everybody in my unit’s dying. I probably won’t be coming back.”
>“You’re coming back,” Harris says his mother responded. “I talk to God every day and you’re special.”
>“And I said, ‘Ma, everybody’s mother thinks their son is special. I’m putting pieces of special people in bags.”

the ultimate viet kino

LOL this why China's gonna win.

Honor to those who love the motherland, and shame on those who harm the motherland.

All his interviews were kino.

I read up on this and apparently he was point-man for his squad when the Vietcong opened up on them with a machine gun. Had virtually no chance of surviving something like that since it was an ambush. Vietnam was fucked up.

>One of the reasons the Viet Cong were so eager to kill Americans was for their rations because they were always starving.
The interviews are definitely what makes it good.

>Charlie didn't get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death, or victory.

and that is why the Vietnam war was unwinnable. One side had the option of pulling out when the going got tough and the other had to win or face certain destruction, that kind of desperation will always spur on a side to victory.

the viet girl who had to drive trucks up and down the HCM trail with no headlights while constantly getting napalmed and agent orange'd was my favourite

>ho chi minh leaves high command to go find some help and see contryside
>some dumbfuck massacres thousands of people
Why are commies like this?

Nah, Burns is braindead. No visual literacy, no sense of rhythm. I don't understand why he bothers making films, he'd make a much better archivist.

Him and the people from the VC would be some of the best documentary subjects ever.
