Ken Burns's "The Vietnam War," "The English Patient," and "Paco's Story"

On 15th (Thursday), I collected “The Vietnam War (DVD)” by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, “The English Patient (DVD)” and Paco’s Story by Larry Heinemann at the “POP Station” at Thomson Plaza. “The Vietnam War” taught me more about the war. It mentioned John Paul Vann in the battle of Ap Bac, but not Edward Lansdale, though I saw him in some footage with Ngo Dinh Diem. “The English Patient” was a huge disappointment. I had read the original novel. The movie completely omitted Kip’s thoughts about the bomb on Hiroshima. Paco’s Story required to read through much effort because of the way people speak in the novel. Powerful and sad.
