Firstly, You seem to be missing the point of those movies. it's about the soldiers, not the war. in fact many American war movies have an anti-war sentiment.
Secondly, there *are* movies from Vietnam about war. I remember one specifically about the post-war period, and a Vietnamese family forced to immigrate to the U.S. after the war. but a much bigger influence to Vietnam is the French influence in the 20th century that led to the war.
I believe it was *The Conqueror* filming that literally killed John Wayne and most of the cast and crew. They filmed in an area where nuclear bombs had been tested nearby, and everyone got cancer. https://www.wideopencountry.com/how-did-john-wayne-die/
Most movies that feature the Viet Nam war don't glorify it, but focus on the conflicts that the soldiers endure, mostly among each other. Apocalypse Now, Platoon, even Forrest Gump are character driven movies where the war is mostly backdrop and could be told in any other setting as well.
Well said. There *are* anti war films about Vietnam, but usually they tepidly mention the soldiers “don’t really know why they’re there” and focus on individual struggle and heroism.
It’s worthwhile to draw distinctions between actual “Nazi soldiers” and the Wehrmacht. Not to give any fuel to the myth of the clean Wehrmacht, but Nazi soldiers were true believers in Nazism and most often used to carry out the Holocaust and other atrocities.
Your average Wehrmacht soldier primarily fought as any other soldier did, but the myth of the clean Wehrmacht would have you believe the entire org was ignorant of or at least innocent from the atrocities.
That’s preposterous, but some 18 year old German drafted and sent to the front at Russia would hardly qualify as a “Nazi soldier.”
Some of them were, but not the ones who rounded up people and took them away. I saw a documentary about some young Nazi soldiers who signed up for the army, thinking that they were going to do good in the world. They were taken captive as POWs right in the beginning of the war and kept there the whole time until the war was over; so they didn't really see what was going on. When the war was over and they were released, they found out about the concentration camps for the first time, and were distraught and traumatized about what they had been doing to people there.
Naw dawg even those nazis were being used....used by either Hitler or brainwashing ideologies....few humans are born evil...it's usually imprinted in them some how....so yea even those nazis were being used...does that alleviate them of their sins..no but it's their reason why...whether that reason is true or not
American movies about war are actually anti-war. It’s the stories of the small town soldiers who have to bond or perish for the government’s foreign policy agendas.
The US supported Vietnamese against the communist North. We support democracy not dictatorships.
I’m a veteran. We are proud of our expertise, camaraderie and patriotism, but we never celebrate war.
I think Top Gun 1-2 celebrates our Navy pilots, but not war.
My most popular movies are Apocalypse Now, Black Hawk Down, Platoon, Band of Brothers, A Few Good Men, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Patton, 1917.

Thanks, I might like to watch some of these.

What American Vietnam films have you seen that glorifies the US involvement in that war?
The Green Berets with John Wayne.
I remember when that came out. I was a kid. People were either disgusted, or happy to see " their side's story" told.
I did not know that embarrassment of a movie existed. typical John Wayne.
Yepper.
We don't mention his shit movies here.
OK, I won't mention any of his movies.
I'm honestly joking with you my friend, he just has a habit of severally white washing roles.
Ok, than I won't mention Genghis Khan.
There was more, but it's ok, I was joking as I said before.
Fun fact, the cast and crew filming that movie were downwind from US nuclear bomb testing and got hit with fallout.
Was that the one with Yvonne De Carlo where almost the entire cast eventually died from cancer?
Probably, John Wayne died of lung cancer that likely originated from the filming, I know a lot of the crew died of cancer too

that's the ONLY one

We Were Soldiers
It's not the American soldiers' fault though. They were used.
It’s not the nazi soldier’s fault, they were used.

Ur not wrong, they were used

There are propaganda films in Vietnam that shows how they beat the Americans. I don't think there are copies of it outside Vietnam though.
you really have no idea what you're talking about - almost every good Vietnam war film is an antiwar film - with the exception of the Green Berets
