Review of Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam (1987) by Abbey G — 04 Jul 2008
"Darling, believe me, I try not skip a day in writing you. Whether or not I get a letter determines if it's a good day or not.".
I remember watching this movie on HBO when I was a little girl, and it has stuck with me for twenty years. This movie is the truth of Vietnam. Wonderful actors read letters written home to from Vietnam, while vintage footage is shown. It's structured as a single year tour of duty, showing daily life, daily fears, daily longings. It's funny, touching, and heartbreaking. A truly remarkable film.
