Review of Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam (1987) by Zack B — 11 Dec 2010
One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I don't know if I've ever been so emotionally involved in a documentary. The footage that was used was incredible. The letters were read eloquently and beautifully by all the actors.
It was great to hear the voices of Robert De Niro, Willem Dafoe, Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr., Ellen Burstyn and many others. They each really gave a face to those letters. The soundtrack really hooked me in as well.
There were many great songs from that time. Basically this documentary takes you back into that time. It shows you the price all those men and women had to pay. It's absolutely incredible. Don't be surprised if you're in tears at the end of this one.
