    "The US media and films played a major role in both supporting as well as criticising the war." Comment.

    Answer:

    There is no doubt that US media and films played an important role in supporting as well as criticising US' entry into Vietnam war. Hollywood made films in support of the war, such as John Wayne's Green Berets. This had been cited by many as an example of an unthinking propaganda film that was responsible for motivating many young men to die in the war. Other films were more critical as they tried to understand the reasons for this war. Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, reflected the moral confusion that the war had caused in the US.
