I'm talking about the way Vietnam the country and people are protrayed, and how the movies basically try to recreate the war in the minds of Vietnamese as one they won because they got the better of it, which is crazy inaacurate. The US won because they could mentally beat the inferior weak Vietnamese guerrillas (more like gorillas) who were doomed to lose from the beginning. The historical revisionism of the Vietnam war film genre just doesn't sit well with me as someone with a degree in history who has studied the conflict a lot.
