message: I created this article. Do you know how much time it took for me to gather and edit this article in a language that is not my native one? You have no idea how much work I've done here. Not one of you who are criticizing it, cutting it, removing pictures, trying to erase it slowly but surely, not one of you dared to work on it. So stop crying and do something or just be quiet. One of the reasons I've edited this article was to add historical and sourced infos that were censored and removed from the DBP battle article that is protected by pro-indochinese editors. I tried my best for the people who fought there in the ignorance and contempt of the world. But the soviet propaganda is not dead yet, these bicycles things are still trusted by many people who don't care about what really happened. So before mouthing this article is "ridiculous" try to follow my work and continue it with as much devotion and honestly I did. most of you are unable to follow my step, that's the reason why the "tbc" temps I used are still there months after I have stopped working on it. Not one of you has the guts to finish it. So don't make me laugh with your cries. Inthusiast 02:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The historical info doesn't belong in this article. It's a pile of irrelevant crud, as far as the FILM is concerned, so I've taken the liberty of chopping it out in a very heavy-handed fashion. A lot of the info about the battle is probably useful for the CORRECT article, which is Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and if that info is not already in the correct article, feel free to merge some of what I deleted over there. I can see you've done a lot of work, but I'm afraid you've put your work in the wrong place. Sorry to break the news to you. --82.45.163.18 13:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the historical data I've gathered are actually part of the movie's background and some are part of the plot itself. this cannot be considered a regular movie but a docufiction. Since someone like you who comes out from nowhere is able to take "liberties" as an excuse to remove infos which are not welcome in the pro-communist battle article (there's not even a link to the movie's article), I took some too. I have created a backup of the full length article. It will save my work, the time I have spent on it and finally the truth that people like you try to bury.

replies: text: If you've got a problem with the Battle of Dien Bien Phu article, take whatever facts you've got over there and have this content dispute in the right place. I don't have an agenda regarding this article, other than I wanted to find out about this film, and came across your large pile of irrelevant listcruft. I don't know what agenda you're trying to push (calling the main article 'pro communist' is probably a hint) but take it elsewhere. --Aim Here 18:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: don't make me laugh!

message: 1) The docudrama section seems to be a biography of the director.  Is this the movie's plot? Why is this important?  It seems that this would be better placed on the director's own article page than here. If it is plot, then it needs to be combined with the preceeding section to unify it with the plot content.
2) I strongly suggest joining the cast of characters list and cast list together. It'll shorten the article significantly by cutting down duplication as well as make it look less cluttered. 
 
3) Also, is the quotes section really necessary? This article is really long as it is and the quotes seem like mostly fluff with very little context in which to make them significant. --Lendorien 16:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: You are welcome to express your opinion, but please refrain from using inappropriate language and personal attacks. Please also assume good faith when interacting with other Wikipedians. As a responce to your complaint, this article is about a movie, not the battle itself, and thus reflects the content of the movie. References to US involvement may have been removed because they were not approriate for the context of this article, which is about a movie following a French man's experiances at the battle. --Lendorien 15:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
