To earn credit for this assignment, print and complete the corresponding worksheet (located on the student assignment drive) and turn in with a 1-2 page paper that compares or contrasts this film’s treatment of the Vietnam War with The Things They Carried. This paper should follow the guidelines established in the student handbook for formal papers.
Possible movies include: Platoon (R), Full Metal Jacket (R), Apocalypse Now (R), Deer Hunter (R), Good Morning Vietnam (R), We Were Soldiers (R), Born On the Fourth of July (R), Hamburger Hill (R), Casualties of War (R), The Killing Fields (R), and Green Dragon (pg-13).
Please note: many of the above mentioned films include strong language and scenes of graphic violence which may be difficult for some students to watch. If you do not feel comfortable with this, I recommend either Good Morning Vietnam or Green Dragon. I will also accept submissions based on Forrest Gump; students should focus on the relevant scenes from that film if they choose this option.
