      Vietnam War History in the Lives of Allies

      It has become the norm that any film about the Vietnam War will be over-interpreted. After all, the Vietnam War has changed the United States, and the United States has changed and is still changing the world. I personally think this movie is more suitable for people who don't know the history of Vietnam and the Vietnam War, so there will be fewer preconceived ideas. In this way, this documentary will not be labeled as Wei Guangzheng, Hei Yue, reflection, etc. Documentary as long as true...

      The White Light of the Dark Ages

      What kind of experience is it to lose a country?
      When American and South Vietnamese ships loaded with refugees arrived in the Philippines, they had to lower all South Vietnamese flags before the refugees could set foot on Philippine soil. Singing the last national anthem and watching the flag flying for the last time on the sea is the saddest and most helpless moment for the South Vietnamese. They wept, and the tears were over, leaving only an empty look.
      The story of the film begins...

      If the U.S. had not killed Wu Tingyan at the beginning, and finally betrayed his promise, South Vietnam would never have been reduced to a land of subjugation, just like the Republic of China that was betrayed back then. The last scene of Americans helping the South Vietnamese people to evacuate is tragic and heart-rending, but this last "compassion" and last "humanitarian" will never pay off the debt they owe to the...

      In the documentary, the Americans finally gave up on Vietnam, betrayed their promise of life and death. Although they rescued as many Vietnamese as possible, they still left the vast majority to the terrifying Vietnamese Communist...

    Movie quotes

    • Self - Army Captain: It was every man for himself. So you saw the World Airways flight being mobbed by South Vietnamese soldiers. You saw ships with thousands of refugees,including lots of soldiers.You saw out-of-control panic. Basically,any boats, trucks, airplanes, or anything going south were besieged by people wanting to get onboard.

    • Self - Special Forces Advisor: I thought it was a lot easier to beg forgiveness than to get permission.
