Awesome classic movies
A good movie, from the bult up, till the fight and loss of Dien Bien Phu. A piece of forgotten history.

This is one of the best war movies ever made. The matter-of-fact portrayal of the war makes it all the more stunning and makes it close to a documentary. The director was captured by the Vietnamese at the fall of Dien Bien Phu. This, I guess, is what he remembers of it and what he is able to piece together during that time. It is epic.
