I came to this pic later on reading two detailed armed services history books about the battle. That proved essential because I don't recall I would have learned very much about information technology from watching the film. For the positives: technically, the level of item was splendid. With the exception of using M41 Walker Bulldog tanks instead of M24 Chaffee tanks, the equipment, weaponry, uniforms, badges etc. Were authentic. The timeline of the boxing and specific incidents were perfect. So why did I come up abroad feeling information technology was such a missed opportunity? Dien Bien Phu was famously referred to as French republic'southward "Verdun in the jungle". On the French side, French, Vietnamese, Algerian, African and other soldiers, able bodied and wounded, slept in h2o filled trenches by day and fought, often hand to hand in isolated actions, to protect them from dusk until dawn equally the Vietminh launched repeated human moving ridge attacks beyond basis that had been churned to mud through artillery fire. For both sides victory was a chance to proceeds advantage at the Geneva Peace Briefing which had begun on 26 April and would just fix the stage for the larger state of war that followed. Dien Bien Phu fell on vii May and the Conference ended on 21 July. That was the historical and political reality. Unbelievably in this flick the Vietminh are invisible until the closing scenes of the French surrender, when they appear by the thousand. That whatever fighting is going on at all tin can only be inferred by the mass graves of French and allied soldiers, the overcrowded "field hospitals", the regular sound of incoming and outgoing artillery as soldiers sit in their trenches and talk, or listen to concluding radio messages that yet some other position is beingness over run. For a war film showing the futility of ordering soldiers to risk their lives so their leaders can proceeds a political advantage I'd recommend Pork Chop Hill (1959). This could have and then easily been so much more than.
