Touches You

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Good production values, but rather simplistic narrative that didn't really help me sort out fact from fiction.I thought I was in trouble after they glossed over the Gulf of Tonkin incident early on.Had to listen carefully to hear other points of view. In my opinion, not really worth watching for those who want to take a serious look at the history of the Vietnam War. It might be helpful for some who want a (not so) quick overview.It was interesting to hear from people directly involved, and to see their photos from the actual events.Overall, the quality (in terms of historical accuracy and analysis) wasn't up to par with what I associate with the National Geographic brand.
