  Vietnamese perspective. None. It was as if it was all about the American soldiers and their inner anguish. Awwwwww... Poor guys that went off to kill several million people in their own country and they had some confusion issues. Yeah, it was all about us. And as if we were fighting phantoms, non-humans. Watching this deeply morally flawed film, you'd think the US was the victim.

    It was not about the Vietnamese perspective as it was designed to speak to the enablers and modifiers of that war in the USA...from the President to te Joint Chiefs, to the Army at large and the citizen on the street.
    
    BUT, the Vietnamese (their culture, their willingness to fight and ability to accept horrendous punishment to succeed) played large as a shadow charactor throughout the whole film.

      and Harrison Ford's "talk" with Sheen to send him up the river. God, that was good.
      
      The miracle of AN is that is was released just over three years after the fall. That's a fast, brave turnaround.
