I read the book by the same name and was somewhat disappointed by the startling differences in the two. But I was more disappointed in how they made up the country name. What kind of political change is going to occur with a bogus name like "Sarkan"? Any chance of making a political statement is gone. When I first read the book and watched the film about 15 years ago , I was interested in our country's involvement in the Vietnam war. Now , I am interested in why we were there in the first place. And the lies that surround the answer. If one of the many reasons JFK was killed was his idea "it is their war, they must fight it on their own", then he understood the premise of the Ugly American. I read the book once, but I have watched this movie over and over again.
