The fact that it was not made by a bunch of hacks didn't hurt either. 
Using the Vietnam conflict as a backdrop instead of colonial Africa was a stroke of genius... it made the film resonate for a late 20th century audience in a way that the original setting might not have done. For American audiences, at least. |
I insist the book is much better.
the story line just doesn't fit as well with a cold war conflict
and i prefer African scenery over se Asian scenery
