THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE Horror Documentary Part 3

What's the film when the woman plunges the knife into Satvini's stomach and he spits out blood? 1:22.

It's called "Maniac"

Wouldn't it be great if horror movies made today sparked the kind of political thinking that these movies did (still do, hopefully)?

6:25...the reality of this film was probably the Manson Murders of 68

nevermind, i really dont got a comment for the whole Vietnam thing. its just too fucked up to even really know what to say

The Vietnamese guy that was executed had just been caught bombing a hotel killing women and children. He was a terrorist who deserved to die and the left wing nitwits make him out to be a helpless victim.

dude... the scene was taken out of context. it's an infamous image from the south-north korean conflict

Nobody said anything about the Vietcong being a helpless victim. The point of that was that was one of the first times America was visually subjected to the absolute horrors of war and the ease and the mechanical way the military can end lives. Everything in the world isn't a left wing conspiracy.

The U,S. was in the throes of the cold war with the USSR. We went to Vietnam not to help S. Vietnam, in any case an inconsequential, little backwater in S.E., Asia but because we were afraid that Communism would spread, as if it were a virus. Such was the hysteria of the times. The war in Vietnam as well as the War in Iraq & the Gulf War were wars primarily by & for the benefit of the military industrial complex of which Eisenhower had warned us not to succumb to.
