    America has a history of fearing its solders who return from the battlefields. The movies depicting Vietnamese veterans reflect this initial fear and the subsequent public attitude changes. Early films such as the 1967 'Born Loser' depicted the vet as self destructive. Change in the political and social climate of the US caused attitude shifts and later films leaned away from the outcast character to one worthy of understanding such as in the film 'Born on the Fourth of July.' Several post-Vietnam war films are analyzed.

    "Paint It Black: Rock Music and Vietnam War Film. Journal of American Culture v15, n3 (Fall, 1992):53 (7 pages).

    Motion pictures made about the war in Vietnam contain differing amounts of the era's music, rock and roll, depending on their ideological focus. The changes in rock music echo the changes in American consciousness that came about during the 1960s. Films such as 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'Apocalypse Now' seek to use the subversive authority of the music to establish the apparent meaninglessness of the war.

    "United States - Vietnam Reconciliation in 1994." (feature films on the Vietnam War) National Forum v74, n4 (Fall, 1994):30 (4 pages).

    Many Americans base their opinions on the Vietnam war on the vast array of Hollywood feature films about Vietnam. Countless debates have followed each new film on Vietnam, since the release of the highly controversial movie 'Apocalypse Now' by Francis Ford Coppola. Some of the films that piqued the interest of viewers include 'Platoon,' 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'Heaven and Earth.'
