Heaven & Earth

This is so true and about a family in the Vietnam War. The actors were amazing.It's a must see for everyone, especially if u were in the Vietnam War.

Like most information rich Oliver Stone Movies - must be viewed three times. First, just watch the movie and its movie sound track. Second, watch the movie while listening to the commentary track. Third, watch the movie and its movie soundtrack a second time - now knowing the background information of the unexplained images that you now see - to understand in depth everything that transpired. Oliver Stone movies are generally very well researched and there is a lot of information in the images of the movies that you either already know about from your own knowledge, life experience, or you become informed about when listening to the move commentary. Like most of his movies, there is an issue cutting a movie to get close to the 1.5 hour attention span limit that Hollywood has determined. This one even goes a little longer than Hollywood might like.This movie is a sleeper in that, as explained at the end of the commentary track, it was released in theaters roughly at the same time as the movie Schindler's List. Plus movie goers are not able to listen to a commentary track. It might also be difficult at that time, for some to view a real life Asian perspective to the Vietnamese conflict. Just as in Schindler's List, depending on your perspective, is another real life story and a compelling look at the ROI of warfare capitalism.As Oliver Stone was a combat GI in Vietnam, his own story chronicled by Charlie Sheen's character in his movie Platoon, he has a deeper understanding of that conflict and that country as seen both through his own eyes as a young American GI. Later through the eyes of a young Vietnamese girl - the main character of this film. This Vietnamese girl came up in a country in conflict. She first helped the Vietcong, then scratched out a living off the edges of the war business, then married an American GI (Tommy Lee's Character) and moved to the US. Complete culture shock.This movie is fascinating on many levels. War plays a part, but is not the main conflict. The conflict in this movie is more on a personal and spiritual level. You will think about this one after viewing. I would call it Stones second best - first being JFK and second being Nixon.Just my two cents

Movie was not at all what I thought it would be (your typical love story, I didn't do research, just seen an advertisement on tik tok) it turned out so good! Didn't know it was a true story, made it even more interesting!

This is a true story, and one of the best movies to come out of the Viet Nam war.Anyone who wants to call this War a conflict, or police action needs to go back in their rooms and stay there..I am a Marine Viet Nam Veteran, wounded, and was in a deep penetration Reconnaissance unit as played by Tommy Lee Jones.This takes place at the fall of South Vietnam, after Tommy Lee Jones has fallen in love with a young Vietnamese woman, and as Saigon gates fall to Russian tanks and the city burns, Jones rescue's his girl friend/lover, and gets her on an aircraft out, they resettle in Camp Pendleton, Calif. while he continues his service in the Marine Corps. Problems develop between the two, leading to tragedy.This movie was just recently viewed in it's entirety in Saigon/Ho Chi Minn City at the American Center of the American State Department at their Consulate. This was the first time that this movie has ever been shown in Viet Nam, and was widely received.As a Retired United States Marine disabled from Viet Nam service in 69-70, I thought this movie was tremendous the first time I ever viewed it. I have been back to Viet Nam three times since the war, and was to go back each of the last two years on a Vietnam battlefield tours and enjoyed each trip back better each time. The copy I bought is going back with me, and a player to share with Vietnamese family's which I met, and became friends with.I highly recommend this movie. Yes, there is violence, gunfire, explosions, and killing, but War is violent. There is some nudity, but not as much as in a G rated movie, or in the Superbowl half time commercials just aired.

This is the first time I saw this 1993 movie. What a moving experience. Truly well done.I've known many frontline combat soldiers and each carried many scares. Few of them found the experience worth it's lasting regrets. I was a peacetime soldier and certainly, unconditionally, will always support our troops. But I've always felt, even when wearing the uniform, that we all participate in a sin when we applaud our marching soldiers on their way to war. There's nothing glorious or positive about it. I doubt we'd partake if we really knew the suffering it'll bring to so many. This is a truly great film.

Decent movie. My wife liked it

Awesome!

Ein sehr guter Film, der beschreibt wie das Leben der amerikanischen Soldaten nach dem Vietnamkrieg sein kann. Ebenfalls wird gezeigt was passieren kann, wenn die vietnamischen Frauen mit den Soldaten nach Amerika mit gehen und was für Herausforderungen das Leben in den USA ihnen bietet.
