Synopsis
Vietnam War on Film illustrates how to employ film as a teaching tool. It also stands on its own as an account of the war and the major films that have depicted it. Even for many people who experienced the Vietnam War first hand, memories of that conflict have often been shaped by the popular films that depicted it: The Quiet American , The Green Berets , The Deer Hunter , Coming Home , Platoon , Full Metal Jacket , and Apocalypse Now , among others. Vietnam War on Film examines how the war is portrayed through a selection of ten iconic films that represent the war through dramatization and storytelling as opposed to through documentary footage. The book includes an introduction to the war's history and a timeline of events, followed by ten chapters, each of which focuses on a specific Vietnam War movie. Chapters offer a uniquely detailed level of historical context for the films, weighing their depiction of events against the historical record and evaluating how well or how poorly those films reflected the truth and shaped public memory and discourse over the war. A final section of resources provides a comprehensive annotated bibliography of print and electronic sources to aid students and teachers in further research., Even for many people who experienced the Vietnam War first hand, memories of that conflict have often been shaped by the popular films that depicted it: The Quiet American , The Green Berets , The Deer Hunter , Coming Home , Platoon , Full Metal Jacket , and Apocalypse Now , among others.

A final section of "Resources" provides a comprehensive annotated bibliography of print and electronic sources to aid students and teachers in further research., Just exactly how accurate are Hollywood's film and television portrayals of American history? What do these portrayals tell us, not only about the events they depict, but also the time in which they were made? Each volume in this unique reference series is devoted to a single topic or key theme in American history, examining eight to ten major motion pictures or television productions. Substantial essays will summarize each film, provide a historical background of the event or period it depicts, and explain how accurate the film's depiction is, while also analyzing the cultural context in which the film was made.
