Review of Purple Haze

Purple Haze (1982)
9/10
The best movie about the Vietnam war as seen from the US
24 March 2022
Yeah, this is a "local" production with no-name actors, but as someone who was Matt Caufield's age (20 in 1968 -- I was "there", as they say), this film captures with near perfection the mood and atmosphere that million-dollar productions try to capture but don't. Maybe "Gardens of Stone" comes close, but "Purple Haze" is almost a psychological documentary about the war, 1968 and its effect on and in the US. It deserves way more positive recognition than it ever received.

The DVD is available from David Burton Morris. Don't miss it.
