Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Numbah One Comment: Thank you for this film. It's been a long road home from Da Nang and the smells, sights, sounds, and tears of the most terrible and most influential time in my life. None of us who served as Nam Nurses ever realized that our one year in SE Asia would in some ways consume and remain with us for the rest of our lives. I cannot, and will not, say I am at Peace with my "Tour"; but I have come to accept that as long as I can recall the funny/idiotic moments (and there were lots of them) more often than the gut-draining sorrow and exhaustion moments I will sleep better. From someone who was there, this film is worth watching and worth owning. didi-mau time. Over and out. Customer Rating: Summary: Salute to Combat Nurses Comment: As a surviving combat Marine Grunt of the Viet Nam war, I want to laud this movie, that shows the very real part American nurses in Viet Nam played to support, not the war, but the soldiers and Marines who were wounded and med-evaced to an aid station, a surgical unit, or hospital ship. This was officially the first time American women served in a combat area where they could also be wounded or killed. They served, they treated and they provided for the wounded and the dying - not an easy challenge for the most hardened combat vet. Women in combat, especially these very brave women in Viet Nam, deserve all the credit they receive and more. There are many veterans today who give credit to their survival, not to the doctors, but to the American nurses who took care of them. Semper Fi, nurses. You deserve much more than you received from that war. Customer Rating: Summary: Skillfully crafted, deeply moving Comment: As a Vietnam era nurse and massage therapist who has worked for years helping people recover from trauma, I found that watching and listening to the Vietnam nurses relate their experiences was a life altering experience. By it's very nature, traumatic material is chaotic. I really appreciated that the organization and presentation of material brought some sense of order so that a viewer can take it in without being needlessly overwhelmed. Harsh scenes are interspersed with breaks and summaries by Dana Delaney, without mitigating the nurses' feeling during narrations. As a viewer, I felt both emotionally moved, and moved to action to contribute, as they did, to healing the impact of war. I wish that Dr. Margaret Carson had made an appearance, too, as it seems that the film was based on her research. Customer Rating: Summary: This is the real deal! Comment: My history professor used this dvd in the classroom on the Vietnam War. It stands out for me as one of the best illustrations of what women in war are all about. The interviews with the real participants and the inserts of the TV show" China Beach" are priceless! A great reminder that history is about real people not just a date or a battle.These nurses/ women are my heroes.
