American Experience: Return With Honor Reviews
A Very Thorough, Powerful Documentary
It is simply the best documentary on the American POWs in North Vietnam. After reading numerous books on the Vietnam POW experience, this film is very thorough. It gets chilling when the POWs are speaking, then a flashback film footage showing their conditions at the time of their captivity. My anger towards Jane Fonda was heightened as I watched this film. I'll never forget her calling the POWs "liars and hypocrites" and also stated that "history will judge them harshly." She also made the insane claim that they were not tortured. I'm glad they omitted Fonda and her POW role, as she would denegrate this film and the truth it displays.
Don't believe the running time on the box
The box of the dvd (and the video do I guess) says this runs about 113 minutes. But really this runs 103 minutes. And if you are a big Tom Hanks fan, and rexpected to see him a whole lot in this film, you will be disappointed. He only makes one apperance in the movie, and that is in the beginning. On the front you see Thumbs up from Roger Ebert from then Roger Ebert and the Movies (now called Ebert-Roper and the movies). I just check at the website and Eber reviewed this with somebody named Norman Mark, and they both gave this two thumbs up. But I believed that the person who he did it with didn't liked it. Because I only saw Thumbs up from Roger Ebert. Looks like this was aired at one time on PBS and now you can buy it on video or dvd. So do you self some good and watch this film, whether or not you are a vertan of war.
