THE VIETNAM WAR features testimony from nearly 1. Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both the winning and losing sides (see clips here).“The Vietnam War was a decade of agony that took the lives of more than 5. Americans,” Burns said. There wasn’t an American alive then who wasn’t affected in some way — from those who fought and sacrificed in the war, to families of service members and POWs, to those who protested the war in open conflict with their government and fellow citizens.
More than 4. 0 years after it ended, we can’t forget Vietnam, and we are still arguing about why it went wrong, who was to blame and whether it was all worth it.”“We are all searching for some meaning in this terrible tragedy. Ken and I have tried to shed new light on the human dimensions of the war by looking at it from the bottom up, the top down and from all sides,” Novick said. Written by Geoffrey C. Ward, produced by Sarah Botstein, Novick and Burns, it includes rarely seen, digitally re- mastered archival footage from sources around the globe, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 2. Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations and more than 1.

The film features dramatic readings of Marilyn Monroe's writings by actors, film critics, journalists and authors; and archival footage of Hollywood insiders who knew her or worked with her in various films or acting school.
Interviews. The EW staff wrote, . Catch it now on VOD or with the HBO Go app. The new HBO documentary, which premieres Monday at 9 p. Monroe’s own writings that were discovered a few years ago.
It’s not a traditional biographical film of the American Masters variety, because director Liz Garbus doesn’t attempt to be all- inclusive or to impose chronology onto the material .. Garbus adeptly patches together fragments of a life narrated, in a way, by Monroe herself. She inventively pieces together an impressionistic, revealing, and ultimately moving version of the story that so many of us know already. But for all the books and movies and tributes and myth- making, the iconic blonde has never had much of a chance to speak for herself..
But the writings are the film’s reason for existing, and they are fascinating. Ranging from hastily scribbled jottings to lengthy letters to her acting coach Lee Strasberg, the handwritten notes add a refreshing complexity to a persona that’s been simplified over time into a two- dimensional, if ever- enduring, sex symbol.
Garbus lured that lift the film. Among them: Glenn Close, Ellen Burstyn, Lili Taylor, Uma Thurman, Evan Rachel Wood, Lindsay Lohan and the magnificent Viola Davis.
It is the women who recite Marilyn’s own words — alternately scattered, precise, desperate, hopeful. There’s not a false note anywhere. Every woman seems deeply affected. As Garbus said, 'Marilyn speaks to every woman's inner self — love, family, the desire for perfection, satisfaction in her work. And the fears that she cannot 'have it all.' Sarah Churchwell, who wrote the best book on Monroe, The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe, also makes an important contribution.
Her face has been so thoroughly replaced in popular culture by commercialized replications that the real thing is a surprising thrill to behold. The film also reinforces the seductive power of theater. Having performers read Monroe's journal entries renders these often quite mundane sentences powerful and possibly revelatory. Through these women, Monroe becomes the serious actor she longed to be.
Dennis Harvey, writing for Variety wrote, . It's all entertaining, and will doubtless fascinate the subject's many die- hard fans. But the revelatory quality that attended some of Garbus' prior docus, on topics from Bobby Fischer to modern incarceration, is absent from what ultimately feels like one more unnecessary excavation of perhaps the 2.
