Mr. Warner's Vietnam War Movie List 84 Charlie Mopic a Unique Look At Mr. Warner’s Vietnam War Movie List 84 Charlie Mopic A unique look at the Vietnam War in revealed through the subjective lens of a fictitious army motion picture (MoPic) cameraman. Highly recommended for a "realistic" presentation of a reconnaissance mission by a team of GIs in the Central Highlands in 1969. (95 minutes) A Bright Shining Lie A U.S. senior military adviser is sent to Vietnam and finds himself fighting a war he cannot win alongside a corrupt and demoralized South Vietnamese Army. Based on the Pulitizer Prize and National Book Award winning book by Neil Sheehan, A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. (118 minutes) Apocalypse ow Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 provocative vision of the human "heart of darkness" revealed through the peculiar madness of the Vietnam War. A United States Army officer/trained assassin is sent into the depths of a southeast Asian jungle to seek out a renegade colonel and terminate his command during the Vietnam War. (153 minutes) Apocalypse ow Redux Reissue of 1979 film with restored footage edited out of original version. Even better (much better!) than the original; judged by some critics as the best film of 2001--even though it was made in 1979! (202 minutes) Birdy To escape an irrational world, Birdy, an ex-Vietnam veteran sits in an almost catatonic state in an Army hospital where he has come to believe he is one of the feathered creatures of his boyhood dreams. In an effort to break Birdy's silence, his psychiatrist brings in Birdy's loyal, best friend of his youth as they attempt to reach him and bring him back to reality. Based on the novel "Birdy" by William Wharton.(120 minutes) Born on the Fourth of July Based on the book by veteran Ron Kovic. Film follows him from his days as a zealous teen who eagerly joins up for the Vietnam War, to his return from the war as an embittered veteran, paralyzed from mid-chest down. Chronicles his disillusionment with the country's continued involvement in Vietnam, his physical struggle and his emergence as a brave new voice for thousands of disenchanted vets. (145 minutes) Bullet in the head Depicts the lives of three childhood friends from Hong Kong trapped in the turmoil of the Vietnam War--Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, Waise Lee. Cantonese dialogue with optional soundtrack in Mandarin and optional subtitles in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Malaysia and Spanish.Originally produced as a motion picture in 1990 (126 min) Burn! Not about Vietnam, but meant to be a (1969) parable of the war. As described in the library annotation: "This story of political greed and social upheaval will take you on a journey deep into the heart of darkness of a 19th century Caribbean island, where men rise up in bitter and bloody rebellion against the wealthy nations seeking to enslave them." Particularly interesting for its portrayal of insurgency and counterinsurgency techniques, many of which seem familiar from the Vietnam War--despite the obvious differences in technology and ideology. Starring Marlon Brando. (113 minutes) Mr. Warner’s Vietnam War Movie List Casualties of War Based on the true story of a squad of soldiers caught in the moral quagmire of wartime Vietnam. Witness to a vile crime, Private Ericksson (Michael J. Fox) is forced to stand alone against his fellow soldiers and commanding officer Sergeant Meserve (Sean Penn).

Go Tell the Spartans Story about a hard-boiled major (Burt Lancaster) in command of a grubby Vietnam outpost in 1964. The war was still a 'conflict' and American soldiers were merely 'advisors.' Although the action concentrates on a single, obscure incident, the film illuminates the entire era. Based on the novel Incident at Muc Wa, by Daniel Ford. (114 minutes) Good Morning, Vietnam Imported by the Army for an early morning radio show in Vietnam, disc jockey Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) blasts the formerly staid, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humor and the hottest hits from back home.

  • The Pulitzer Prizes for International Reporting in the Third Phase of Their Development, 1963-1977
    INTRODUCTION THE PULITZER PRIZES FOR INTERNATIONAL REPORTING IN THE THIRD PHASE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, 1963-1977 Heinz-Dietrich Fischer The rivalry between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. having shifted, in part, to predomi- nance in the fields of space-travel and satellites in the upcoming space age, thus opening a new dimension in the Cold War,1 there were still existing other controversial issues in policy and journalism. "While the colorful space competition held the forefront of public atten- tion," Hohenberg remarks, "the trained diplomatic correspondents of the major newspa- pers and wire services in the West carried on almost alone the difficult and unpopular East- West negotiations to achieve atomic control and regulation and reduction of armaments. The public seemed to want to ignore the hard fact that rockets capable of boosting people into orbit for prolonged periods could also deliver atomic warheads to any part of the earth. It continued, therefore, to be the task of the responsible press to assign competent and highly trained correspondents to this forbidding subject. They did not have the glamor of TV or the excitement of a space shot to focus public attention on their work. Theirs was the responsibility of obliging editors to publish material that was complicated and not at all easy for an indifferent public to grasp. It had to be done by abandoning the familiar cliches of journalism in favor of the care and the art of the superior historian .. On such an assignment, no correspondent was a 'foreign' correspondent. The term was outdated.

Despite the break from Maoism following the fall of the Gang of Four and Deng Xiaoping’s movement towards capitalist modernization, the brutal events of Tiananmen Square caused great concern for a territory facing many changes in the near future. Even before these disturbing events Hong Kong’s imminent return to a motherland with a different dialect and social customs evoked insecurity on the part of a population still remembering the violent events of the Cultural Revolution as well as the Maoist- inspired riots that affected the colony in 1967.
