Review of The Green Berets (1968) by Chris H — 21 Sep 2017
I have never been a John Wayne fan but there are a few films of his that I enjoy, this is certainly not one of them. His style of film-making, while it worked great for World War 2 Movies and Westerns, does not translate to the Vietnam War.
Sure it delivers the same type of entertainment but knowing what we know now about the war this film just feels insensitive and wrong. The world had changed and this style of war film just does not work for the era.
I can't recommend this one to anyone besides John Wayne fans. If you are someone who takes the Vietnam War seriously, I would avoid this film.
