Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Director Peter Davis describes his Academy Award-winning documentary Hearts and Minds as "an attempt to examine why we went to Vietnam, what we did there and what the experience did to us." Compared by critics at the time to Marcel Ophuls' acclaimed documentary The Sorrow and the Pity (1971), Hearts and Minds similarly addressed the wartime effects of national myths and prejudices by juxtaposing interviews of government officials, soldiers, peasants and parents, cinéma vérité scenes shot on the home front and in South Vietnam, clips from ideological Cold War movies, and horrific archival footage. |
