Accurate

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2002)

Being a college student, I have no direct experiences involving the conflict in Viet Nam. None of my family served in this conflict and has never really talked about what happened there. My only knowledge of what happened there came from rushed history classes and movies. I've seen countless movies focused on this conflict varying in accuracy of what happened there. When I saw this movie, I was with my friend's father who served in Viet Nam before and after the events of the movie. He said this movie portrayed what happened there more accurately than any other movie he has seen.
Though I still have almost no comprehension of what happened in the conflict, I want to know more because of this film. We Were Soldiers has sparked a desire to know more that no movie has done to me before.
