Absolutely not the best Vietnam movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2008)

I'm just responding to the claim that this is the best Vietnam movie... There are plenty of other movies about Vietnam that are better than "the Deer Hunter," "Full metal Jacket,"Apacolypse Now" Are two I can think of off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing movie. The only problem I have is that the beginning of the film, where the director is trying to establish what a small industrial town is like. is very long and drawn out. However, in the end, you do end up understanding why that was done. This film is not the best Vietnam movie because it doesn't really have much about the war and how U.S. soldiers treated the Vietnamese, which did vary. Overall, this is a great film, and I do recommend it!
