I try not to get too political on here, but for those of you who ramble on about the innacuracies of this film I encourage you to do some research into the actions of Green Berets during this conflict. This is a very realistic (well maybe not the weird spy op at the end, which is also why this is only 4*) film about how they fought the war in Vietnam. The VC did murder tribes people who worked with the US, the media did lie and obfuscate the truth about the war and of NVA and VC atrocities while overblowing our own. Vietnam was a dirty war, there’s no doubt. But most if not all of those negative actions…

“Hold up soldier” No wait John that doesn’t sound right!!! “Hold up you dirty pilgrim” Now thats the JW we all love and know. He directed this film and starred in it but really should have stayed behind the camera to hide from shame and embarrassment. This was just awful! Nothing felt like it was taken serious and the entire build up waiting for the battle scene was a complete bore fest. I can see what JW was trying to portray to the world but he should have done serious and tried to make the characters more liked. I recently watched a JW film with a very young Ron Howard and in this we have a young George Takei. Don’t think JW would get away with walking towards the sunset holding a boy’s hand in these days!

Notorious for being just about the worst movie John Wayne ever made (either this or The Conqueror) and for being a shameless pro-Vietnam War propaganda piece, the bigger problem with The Green Berets is that it’s not just a vile work of propaganda, but a deathly boring one. Frankly, nothing that happens in this movie is interesting or entertaining, since it’s hardly any fun in the way a proper flag-waving film like this should be. What I’d want for this to be is a shoot ’em up war flick with Wayne and co. mowing down bad guys but what it is instead is a 142-minute slog with little action, unfunny comedy, and dull characters. That makes the childlike way it…

Films I Watched On TV While I Was ‘Working’ I should have just watched this for 2 hours. Its reputation for being awful stretches before it like a motorway of poo, and justifiably so. I’d heard how this was a shameless propaganda piece many times but I never normally let that sort of thing bother me, so I was just hoping that I would get some decent action scenes out of it. But no. The thing about The Green Berets is that it’s ridiculously boring bearing in mind what kind of film it is. Considering its anti-Viet Cong stance, I was expecting to be treated to John Wayne and the boys gunning down hundreds of VC and maybe coming out…

Вот если большинство фильмов о Вьетнамской (и не только) войне, несут антивоенный характер, то «Зелёные Береты» Джона Уэйна абсолютно противоположный по смыслу фильм. Да, это откровенная военная пропаганда, наполненная ненавистью к коммунистам и восхваляющая солдат Армии США, воевавших во Вьетнаме. В принципе вот такую вот консервативную агитку можно описать цитатой Олега Тинькова: «Говно этот Советский Союз, Америка — вот это страна!» Поэтому я бы отметил, что Джон Уэйн в этом фильме буквально кричит о ненависти к сраным коммунякам и любви к Америке. Но если отбросить мотивы пропаганды, то можно сказать, что «Зелёные Береты» просто скучные. Это физически тяжёло смотреть 2 часа 22 минуты хронометража. Первый час мы наблюдаем пустую болтовню, которая и раскрывает нам ту самую «консервативную повестку». Позднее Уэйн…

Política e estética, política e poética são uma coisa só em um filme. Ou em qualquer obra de arte, ou em uma instalação. Ou em qualquer forma de composição, ou em qualquer avanço ou retrocesso da linguagem. Então, por exemplo, o equívoco seria pensar da seguinte maneira: o que Wayne faz com a Guerra do Vietnã é tão hediondo quanto o que ele faz com o Aldo Ray, é tão hediondo quanto a visualização, a cartografia, a repartição, a topografia do espaço em cada cena (em cada escolha de ângulo, em cada tipo de enquadramento, na maneira como a luz não impacta nem direciona realmente as coordenadas desse espaço que será atravessado, ocupado, invadido e alterado incessantemente pela ação militar…

Regardless of what you thought about America’s involvement in South East Asia, the fact that John Wayne, pardon the pun, “stuck to his guns”, in his support for his country’s participation in a war that nobody wanted, showed just what a commie-bashing, Berkley-hating, conservative Republican he really was. For years he was the epitome of that strong iconic American masculinity, but it was a joke advert I saw once that summed up Wayne for me in a nutshell. It was for John Wayne toilet paper, “It’s rough! It’s tough! And it doesn’t take shit off anyone”. That was Wayne for me, a stubborn man who didn’t move with the times and kept his own values and ideals, long after some…

Another stinky John Wayne film. The Green Berets serves as nothing more than mediocre propaganda. Boring action sequences, boring non-action sequences, lifeless characters, bad acting, racist undertones, what’s not to love?

This makes LSD look like aspirin! There is nothing more glorious than dying in a pointless war and having a shithouse named after you. The first half is almost unwatchable but later on the action gets pretty nuts. There’s even a scene that Nolan totally stole for The Dark Knight

Its morality is unaltered from the outdated westerns Wayne made his name with, exchanging the good guy cowboys and savage Indians with the righteous US Army and the evil communist Viet Cong. And don’t think Wayne was unprepared for the critical response, he was careful to include an African American sergeant in the Army group to plausibly deny this…

A lousy, ham fisted war flick meant to sell Vietnam to an America that was already tired of its sons dying over there. While it’s got some cool gadgets and the action scenes are very entertaining, it’s undercut by stilted acting, over-the-top death throes and comedically cheap special effects. Proudly produced in full cooperation with the US Military!

“We had to destroy the village in order to liberate it.” Released in the early-ish stages of our involvement and during one of the most tumultuous periods (1968j) in American culture, The Green Berets has a reputation as one of the most jingoistic, politically naive, right-wing, pro-war movies ever made. In fact, star/co-director John Wayne, whose old fashioned values and rigid masculinity were increasingly out of touch, explicitly made the movie to promote our illegal involvement in Vietnam and counter…

“Brother! This trip is gonna make LSD feel like aspirin!” -someone who’s never done LSD in their life. John Wayne’s stolen valor vanity project is a real snooze for the most part. I mean it’s got its high moments, but it’s a real slog to get through. (Common pattern I’m noticing watching these.) I have now seen every movie John Wayne directed/co-directed.

Marion Morrison, wearing his bullet repellent invisible vest, directs his men through hellish landscapes in Vietnam, before carrying out a stealth kidnap mission that would flatter a heist movie of today’s standards. ’68 feels like the year for long and underwhelming war movies, but this is better than some.

Oh boy, this is a BAD movie. Dated even by standards of the time. A truly disgusting piece of American military propaganda that has nothing but praise to say about US involvement in Vietnam. And worst of all, it’s beyond dull and painfully boring. One of the very worst movies I have ever seen.

I think that people get lost in the myth and mob mentality of The Green Berets. It is not a great movie but too many people miss the point. John Wayne said that he was making a movie about the bravery of the soldiers fighting a war in Southeast Asia. He wasn’t glorifying war but the men who follow orders as commanded. A battle is actually lost when the camp is overrun so it is not as gung ho as…

John Wayne’s Vietnam film goes exactly how you’d expect. The North Vietnamese are murdering rapists, and communists are evil. Most characters are paper thin. The film is also divided into two almost separate parts: i) building and defense of an outpost, ii) the capturing of an enemy commander behind the lines. The two sections do not fit well together, besides the fact that The Green Berets are picked for the mission (the film does a poor job of showing why these special forces are special). The film was shot in Georgia, which is a poor stand-in for Vietnam. A deciduous forest does not a jungle make.

Sometimes, when watching a film at home, I think: Oh, if I only I could see this in a theatre. While watching this blatant pro-Vietnam war propaganda piece co-directed by and starring John Wayne, though, I was glad to have watched this at home, because if I had been in a cinema, my constant groaning would probably have annoyed the people around me so much that there would have been a real chance it could have led to me being thrown out of screening.

If you must make a pro Vietnam war move (I don’t recommend you do) it’s probably not a good idea to have it directed and acted by a racist, war dodging pathetic Nazi. John Wayne was a Nazi, and this is a terrible movie. David Janssen had a severe argument with John Wayne on the set of the production because Wayne lost his temper with an Asian child during the shooting. Janssen left the set, which he never did before in his career.

A remarkable film of “Cowboys and Indians” set in the Vietnam War, designed solely as a piece of cinema to fight back against the journalists and politicians questioning why the United States was sacrificing its own to fight in Vietnam. I actually found The Green Berets pretty entertaining as a film with decent action sequences, but any talk of its accomplishments as a film are overshadowed by the blatant propaganda. This film had the full cooperation of President Johnson and…

Nogen gange skal man se film hvor man ikke er enig. Jeg er lodret uenig om at tage til Vietnam var en god ide, men jeg forstår godt at mange gjorde det med god mening. Nogen af scenerne er også meget søde med soldaten og drengen. Et eksempel på at man troede (nogen gør stadig) at nogen befolkningsgrupper ikke er lige så kloge og er hvid mands byrde. Så uenig jeg er vil jeg lidt sige man vidste ikke bedre.…

No, The Green Berets isn’t the most nuanced Vietnam movie ever made. It isn’t trying to be. This is John Wayne planting his flag firmly on one side of the debate and telling a story about the soldiers he believed were doing a difficult and necessary job. If you’re looking for the ambiguity of later Vietnam films, you’ll probably bounce right off it. If you’re willing to see it as a snapshot of how many Americans viewed the war while…

A US journalist, skeptical of “America’s” war of aggression in Vietnam, travels to the country with a special forces Colonel and is embedded with the troops. He comes to understand, with the help of a cute “Oriental” orphan, various soldiers and espionage agents, that the USA must save the country from the evil commies or they will end up selling cheap consumer products to his grandkids. Infamous pro-war propaganda film that is inept, malevolent, heavy-handed and ridiculous. And naturally it…

I’ve always been a fan of John Wayne. At his best, he had an undeniable screen presence—commanding, effortless, and uniquely American. Whether in westerns or war pictures, Wayne often understood exactly who he was and what audiences came to see. Which is what makes The Green Berets all the more disappointing. For a man who gave so much of himself to this project, co-directing and shaping its message so heavily, this stands as one of his least successful efforts. The…

Often cited as one of the worst films of the 1960s and misguided propaganda revolving around Vietnam, The Green Berets is actually not that terrible. John Wayne is actually more bearable than usual and the film seems more about the philosophy behind it. Maybe at the time when we weren’t bombarded by awful cable news propaganda, the sting would be more apparent, but in all honesty at this stage of the game, this is merely benign in the realm of…

Too long. Too full of silly moments. I’m not in the military and I wasn’t in the Vietnam war, so this film didn’t offend me. I admit the main battle scene was pretty good. I don’t think battle scenes ever lose points. I mean.. explosions are cool. But then the movie goes on for another hour. Green Berets works because John Wayne gives you 100% sometimes it’s ok to surrender and lose the war.

Can’t believe this was considered good propaganda back then. Nowadays the US just hires Tom Cruise for another top gun film or funds pro Isreal TikToks. Way more subtle One of the main characters died and they named a bathroom after him. It’s also difficult to feel emotionally angry at the soldiers dying as it’s the US gov who put them there.

Vietnam Research Film Review Before the war was over, before we saw the issues, John Wayne made the top gun of his time. Except it was to prove to the public that the American involvement in Vietnam was good and wholesome. They were never offensive in the war. Only defensive, to help the small villagers. They never shot first. Defend the poor and innocent people. That’s why they were there and were doing what the communist countries were doing first. We are just balancing the scales, that’s what this movie is trying to tell us. and it’s full of horseshit

This movie genuinely hurts me. Growing up John Wayne was a big deal for me and minus his awful character which I only know of now this movie disgusts me.

He had no right to make anything like this when he himself never served and he never sacrificed for this country, John Wayne the man…

Movie sucks because the dog died. But seriously, The Green Berets is a crappy, pro-Vietnam propaganda film, starring and directed by John Wayne.

The biggest problem with this film is that it is SO BORING. I will say, the action…

Like many Wayne wartime propaganda films, it’s politically odious, but as a piece of action filmmaking, it’s accomplished and its influence feels undeniable. Its DNA is in everything from the Rambo films to the Hong Kong action romps set in Nam, like Bullet in the Head and Better Tomorrow 3, which seem to draw from the antithetical Deer Hunter just as heavily. In other words, it’s a morally compromised spectacle that is carried by its own grandiosity and glamour. Maureen…

One of the greatest films ever made. Outstanding performances and an excellent story. Plenty of action and great pacing for a film over two hours. Only gripe is the setting, didn’t look like Vietnam at all. John Wayne gives his typical performance but the real shining stars are George Takei, Raymond St Jacques, and Aldo Ray. It’s so refreshing watching a I don’t want to say pro Vietnam war film but one that took an honest look at it and wasn’t just anti war slop like what was so typical in the 70’s and 80’s.

O gesto não se esconde: ele solicita apoio ao Lyndon Johnson e recebe cooperação do United States Department of Defense, com meios,…

The Green Berets is pro war piece of propaganda, it is a dishonest simplistic depiction that removed the moral complexities of the Vietnam War, lacking honesty, compassion, or realistic portrayal, instead of relying on cliches. The film failed to represent soldiers as complex individuals. The film offered no genuine insight or compassion, instead presenting generic, cliched war sequences that felt detached from the actual Vietnam experience. The film presented a simple black and white view of the conflict, failing to acknowledge the ethical dilemmas of political nuances, reducing it to good guys versus bad guys.

Great movie told from the conservative perspective of the war. Despite John Wayne being a bigot he played his role well in this movie. Politics aside the movie did a great job also showing the war from the soldiers point of war.

This movie is somewhat similar to Dirty Dozen. Only the location is Vietnam, and the Green Berets are much more boring.

Et Les Bérets Verts en est un magnifique exemple… magnifique au sens où on admire plus l’audace que le résultat. C’est un peu comme la grenouille dans l’eau chaude : on a tellement grandi dans ces images pro-guerre, anti-communistes, patriotiques jusqu’aux lacets, qu’on finit par oublier qu’on cuit dedans depuis longtemps. Sauf qu’ici, impossible de passer…

With the exception of 2000’s rather embarrassingly earnest We Were Soldiers, John Wayne’s The Green Berets has the distinction of being the only Hollywood film about the Vietnam War that is unapologetically pro-war. The reality is that nothing it says is particularly misjudged or beguilingly odd; it just feels the approach is wrong from the off. Wayne’s unapologetic pride in the troops isn’t necessarily off-putting but his approach as a director (he co-directed the film with Ray Kellogg) is to…

This is a pretty good movie but would’ve been much better a half hour shorter. Good cast. Worth a watch.

I respond favorably to John Wayne’s presence as an actor, and can appreciate some level of versatility that many fail to discern. The fact that he responded to Vietnam with a propaganda film in the same manner as he did for WW2 is only part of this film’s problem. There are silly errors like the sun going down in the east that are wholly unncessary. When it came out it got terrible reviews, and was picketed at some theaters, but…

This is a D+ rating. This movie depicts a Vietnam War unlike any other depiction I have ever seen. John Wayne’s vision of it seem anachronistic, better suited to holding the Alamo, or some World War One action. Officers are seen as action heros with their sleeves rolled up. Lives are shattered on both sides with a wooden ‘whatever’ sort of feeling. It’s indicative of the unbalance of this movie—that the saddest moment to me is when the innocent dog dies.

Winton Hoch’s signature lush cinematography is quite muted here, but other than that, it’s just average at best. The acting is rather mediocre, and aside from George Takei (!), there’s not a lot to really discuss with this. The film’s central issue ultimately lies within its pacing. Howard Hawks can make a 2 1/2 hour film feel like half of that, here you feel every damn minute. Not to mention, the propaganda is about as subtle as a snowman in…

Um breve contexto: Raoul Walsh filmou a guerra de maneira que só um grande cineasta poderia, a partir do espaço e dos gestos, pois, por exemplo, em Objective, Burma! (1945) não existe um herói central, mas uma geometria coletiva construída pelo plano médio, onde cada soldado sustenta o outro e o personagem de Errol Flynn não é mais do que parte de um grupo que avança, sofre e sobrevive. E em The Naked and the Dead (1958), a oposição entre…

At its worst moments, it is shallow propaganda. But at its best moments, it does give the appearance of at least a rebuttal to the anti-war sentiment. Objectively speaking, it’s neither great nor terrible, but it’s at least somewhat interesting to see what the other side of the arguement had to say and points they had to make on the Vietnam war… even if it feels at times like they’re confusing it with WWII….

John Wayne’s tribute to the American involvement in Vietnam was universally slammed by critics for its extreme right wing views. Be that as it may this film is basically mediocre. The film traces a Special Forces unit led by Colonel Mike Kirby (Wayne) into Vietnam firstly to reinforce a base camp where they get their butts kicked and secondly to kidnap a Viet Cong general. The movie based on Robin Moore’s bestseller is dull and even the action sequences when…

It’s very obvious John Wayne is having a lot of fun here, it’s just a shame he wasn’t as good at doing blatant propaganda as John Ford was. This is very blunt, telling the audience ‘communism bad, capitalism good’, while Ford was very good at saying ‘🇺🇸AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!🇺🇸’ while also making genuinely brilliant movies. ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’ was little more than propaganda for America, but that was also a genuinely brilliant movie at its core; this is actively a bad movie, and one that runs around with ‘fuck them commies’ sharpies on its face for over two hours.

Perhaps since its origin it has been popular to dog on this film for what it isn’t. Perhaps since I saw this a 3 years old and fell in love with it then I am just about as far from an objective voice as you can be. However, if I may I would like to mount something of a defense of this movie, which I will gladly call my favorite war movie until the day I die. First: I am…

They sneaked this one into the case of my blu-ray copy of The Searchers. I own it. I’m watching it. Ooh, this is bad. Baaad bad bad ugly bad. John Wayne is a 500-year-old mercenary who gets to fuck around with the Green Beret death squads. These cats are out to execute the LASV anti-colonial jackals who they believe are roasting children and skinning teachers and intellectuals alive in front of their families. John Wayne doesn’t get to roll around…

Watched at a Vietnam reenactment because we read about guys watching it for real in the war. John Wayne made a WWII movie/ Cowboys vs. Indians western that happened to be set during Vietnam. The events are convoluted, the battles are ridiculous (VC acting like Pickett’s Charge) and the characters are bland as cardboard. Awful awful awful movie. BUT I had a blast watching it for these faults. A great many laugh was had with my buddies picking everyhting apart.

John Wayne goes on a sneaking mission and extracts a VIP using the Fulton system, conjuring the hilarious image of Wayne playing the role of Big Boss from Metal Gear Also, so little ends up happening in this movie with a cast of mostly interchangeable military men, though props to George Takei for speaking in somewhat intelligible Vietnamese

Violent Second World War drama in which a hard-hitting journalist begins to have doubts about America’s involvement in the war. Starring John Wayne (who also directs), David Janssen and Jim Hutton. After directing the not-so-good The Alamo 8 years earlier, John Wayne decided to give another try at directing – but just like his previous attempt, he should have just stuck to the acting duties and leave the person in charge to make sure the person in charge knows exactly…

Really didn’t think there was a way to make a Vietnam War movie boring but boy did they do it here. More effort was put into spinning the war into a moral imperative than for the film to look like it was taking place in Southeast Asia. +1/2 star for Jim Beam product placement.

Jumps between cringy, narmy, and sometimes entertaining. The best moments are when it stops trying to be propaganda like the field base battle or the character building but they only happen sparingly. It’s not that good of a military movie, propaganda or not, for its time and still isn’t Overall it’s a middling movie that has value in it being a very early Vietnam movie and a look into propaganda.

THE GREEN BERETS, starring John Wayne, David Janssen and Jim Hutton. At the East Town and Liberty. AMERICA, as a military nation, owes a great deal to Hollywood. Probably more than to any arms manufacturer or military academy. And John Wayne just never seems to get too old to lead the celluloid commandos into battle. He has helped Hollywood wipe out generations of enemies — Mexicans at the Alamo, Germans and Japanese during World War II, etc. Now he’s tackling…

- Col. Mike Kirby picks two teams of crack Green Berets for two missions in South Vietnam. The first is to strengthen a camp that is trying to be taken by the enemy. The second is to kidnap a North Vietnamese General.
