Changes

:::::Wait a second, did you not know who Che really was before you played Peace Walker? I did, and I cringed at the horrible ignorance being displayed in that game. I also thought, "why are the Sandinistas fighting against the Soviets at the end? The FSLN was BACKED BY the Soviet Union!" You're right, not even "death of the author" can fix that since they are directly referring to a real person who was a very bad man. With Star Wars though, it's easier since it takes place in a galaxy so far removed from ours. About Star Wars though, I watched as a kid and just took it at face value. When I learned about Vietnam, I learned about it as the Communist North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam and the US was protecting the legitimate government of South Vietnam from a Commie invasion. I perceived the Vietcong as collaborators with the invaders, like the Vichy French. Knowing that history, if Lucas came up and told me that stuff, I would think "are you crazy?" People who enjoy Star Wars also enjoy Rambo: First Blood Part II which clearly paints the Vietnamese and their Russian friends in a negative light. I also like Missing in Action, which despite having the same "rescuing POWs" premise, is very different from the Rambo movie, mainly because it gives more attention to the Vietnamese themselves and shows them in a very negative light. The last scene in that movie where Braddock comes in with the POWs after the Vietnamese ambassador firmly asserts "We categorically deny that any American POWs are being held in this country" is just epic. I am also a fan of movies like "The Delta Force" and "Air Force One" which clearly depict terrorists calling themselves "Freedom Fighters" in a negative light. Is there any other forum where I can communicate with you, because this is bordering on the 90/10 rule. [[User:Shobson20|Shobson20]] ([[User talk:Shobson20|talk]]) 18:39, 22 December 2018 (EST)
