“Name one good movie about the Vietnam war.”

Two come to mind:

The Green Berets
We Were Soldiers

Today’s Hollywood directors don’t seem to realize that it’s possible to make a film that has an antiwar message without insulting the audience and those serving in the military, and I think that (more than the antiwar message itself) is why people are choosing not to watch them. I think Kelly’s Heroes is a perfect example of the right way to do it.
