Hearts and Minds

Hearts and Minds - Criterion Collection
4 stars
As brutal as you would expect. All the famous footage is here. Confused American vets showcase their conflicted feelings of regret to the camera. Vietnamese people cry and cry and cry. I won't say the film is not biased; it is absolutely slanted in its anti-American stance. In that sense, it achieves its objective masterfully: to compel viewers to never let such a conflict occur again. Viewing this will at least temporarily leave a hole in your heart.
