The Purple Horizon was clearly about the 1960s era, covering the issues in the country ranging from the Viet Cong, to the various coups, to the Buddhist persecution, to the civil war tearing apart their country. There was a lot of things going on down South.
Actually there is a movie made in Hong Kong that's part of a crime series called A Better Tomorrow III - Love and Death in Saigon, which happens to be set during the last days of the Republic of Vietnam, but is all about over the top action. Bullet in the Head is another one of the same vain, but more insane and dark. I also forgot that there's also the film, Land of Sorrows, Đất khổ, starring a famous Viet song writer on here that is also from the South Vietnamese perspective
Thank you for sharing. It really makes me sad looking at these footage. We were once the Oriental Pearl of South East Asia, and Singapore and South Korea ain't nothing at that time. Thanks to the withdrawal of the Americans and the Paris Peace Accords violation done by the ComNorth, we are no more.
You wrong. South Korea was already richer than South Vietnam in the early 70s and Seoul look more glamorous than Saigon in 70s. You can look at Seoul 1970 image from Google to compare. If you search the youtube video "Asian Economies : Nominal GDP 1960 - 2020 (the source is IMF and World Bank)", South Vietnam's economy is not even in the top ten in ASIA. During Ngo Dinh Diem and Nguyen Van Thieu, the nation was plagued with high corruption, incompetent leaders, weak export, and lack of unity between people preventing them from growing to their fullest despite being richer than their Northern neighbor. Notice South Korea's economy did not really start to grow much until Park Chung Hee take control of the country and eliminate corruption as well as implemented several economic plans in which the people trust him and do exactly as he wanted despite being a dictator. South Vietnam Government did not have the support from the majority of the people in the South. They are not willing to donate anything to the government when the country encounter an economic crisis in 1970 to reduce inflation. South Korean people donated gold to their government during Asian financial crisis in 1997 which help them recover and grow. The situation in South Vietnam could get better though only if the leader ruled with a heavy hand to eliminate corruption and unify the people together. The cooperation between people and a capable government is what drives the country to a better future. South Vietnam is unlucky that none of that happen when they were still exist, despite receiving so much economic aid from the US.
it's not like modern vietnam is an economic hellhole, problably in the top 30 highest growing country in the world so it proves that the communist party does care for its people
I think Vietam communist care for their people more than any other communist party....keep in mind in 1979 Vietnam has a mini war with China....communist vs communist.
@@Kabutoes The film name is Ván bài lật ngửa(The Flipping Card) The story is about a Vietcong spy in the South Vietnamese government,Even it is a communist‘s propaganda film, it still quite accurately describes South Vietnamese society during the Diem period. Also,this film has the same director with Purple Horizon.
For those who claim the South was weak, the ARVN were effective, it's just that the advisors trained them for the war wrongfully, had poor commanders and corrupt comrades. The Phoenix program, tiller reform, Combined action program, Vietnamization and Easter offensive were all successful, in Repelling and defeating the VC and PAVN while also ensuring the South support, If the US invaded Laos and Cambodia for the HCMT, before entering Vietnam, never conducts S&D and continue and Expand CAP and Phoenix program, conducting Vietnamization and the Land to the Tiller reform early, defend the DMZ, invading only dong hoi and Quang Binh, while allowing the Japanese to Assist the US(By breaking the treaty) and Fortifying the South Further would've allowed the RVN(Republic of Vietnam), KOC(Kingdom Of Cambodia) & KOL(Kingdom Of Laos to survive and Stablize. They would've been prosperous, the 3 countries repelling communism would've let the US gain more confidence, and the world today wouldn't be socially divided while also being slightly safer, Richer, cheaper, smarter, and more prosperous.
