Hi again Cadets. Since we are moving from the end of WWII to the cold war and into the Korean
Conflict, I thought I would give you one last video to watch about Pearl Harbor. This one is very
fitting and honors a survivor that fought there. As promised, your information about your term
project will be attached to this blog so be ready to be first to get a chance to select your Vietnam
War movie. After the video posting is a list of Vietnam War Movies that are available. Select at
least 3 that you would like to watch. You will be able to select your movie by the end of this coming
week so make sure your posting is up first to get the best choice in class.
Here are a few of the Vietnam War movies that are available to watch online or downloadable from various sources. Remember to post your 3 choices and you must explain why you want to watch at least two of the movies. Post a URL for the movies and also comment on other Cadet's work. Good luck and I hope that you are one of the lucky ones to post first in your class.
Remember to look again next weekend for your Movie Worksheet to download for your
term project. Good luck and remember that Memorial Day is fast approaching to make
sure you are working on making your Tribute Videos to post on You-Tube as well for
your bonus points.

I CALL DIBS ON Good Morning Vietnam
ReplyDelete(http://www.solarmovie.so/watch-good-morning-vietnam-1987.html) <- I really want to know why such a devastating event could be deprive from and turned into a movie with such a joy-filled title
FULL METAL JACKET <- From what I heard, full metal jacket has the main theme of dehumanization and I'd like to see how war plays a role in this (http://viooz.co/movies/4862-full-metal-jacket-1987.html)
Casualties of War <- I am simply curious about the movie. I want to know what this movie is about and why is it based on just the incident on hill 192 when there are casualties in every war (http://www.iwannawatch.ch/2011/04/casualties-of-war-1989/)
Good choice of movies, I heard about them, Full metal jacket for example brings out of the truth about the Vietnam era, and casualties of war explains a lot of the pain and suffering that both the american side and the Vietnamese side experience. good luck with the project!
DeleteI like your choices and the movies you chose seem like good choices to watch. Good luck with the project.
DeleteFor the term project I choose the following movies:
ReplyDelete-we were soldiers: this is a movie I wanted to watched long time ago and now a have a good reason why, plus the story in it it's very special to me. ---> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277434/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
-tunnel rats: at first I choose this one randomly but after searching more about it I found out that the mission of this soldiers is really interesting so I want to see how it goes. ---> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970462/?ref_=sr_5
-platoon:"is a movie that regards combat from ground level, from the infantryman's point of view, and it does not make war look like fun." according to a review in Roger Ebert.com.I just want to watch it.---> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091763/
I picked "We Were Soldiers" too but for a different reason! I hope you get the movie you want & enjoy!
DeleteI hope you get to watch platoon since Johnny Depp is in it since he's your favorite actor. Also I would love to know how you enjoyed the movie your gonna watch. I would love to have a discussion on how you felt about the movie if you don't mind.
DeleteI picked Platoon too, it is a good choice of movie. it looks really interesting.
DeleteI picked Tigerland because I watched the trailer and read a summary about it and I'm curious about the movie.

3.Born on the 4th of July; I kind of want to see this cause Tom Cruise is in it. But when I looked at the trailer the story was really interesting. I want to know how he handles protesting against war and president Nixon at that time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NR6n1nRMI

DeleteI chose "The Hanoi Hilton" as the movie for my term project. The URL for the movie is here : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093143/

The movie that I picked in class was "A Yank in Vietnam". I heard that this movie is hard to find but also exciting. My mom said her friend as a copy of this movie. So I began to watch it and I learning alot.
