Film Analysis / Hamburger Hill - An Accurate Depiction of War In Vietnam?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the film in relation to the reality of actual events. Reviewers found several production mistakes within the film and labeled the acting as lacking, but many vets still refer people to the film rather than to answer questions in detail, even 30 years after the fact. The difficulty rests in knowing that it depicts reality far too faithfully so that many vets cannot bear to watch it, and those who were present direct questioning people to the film, thereby repelling unwelcome questions. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
