VHS Movie Reviews of China Beach / Premiere Episode [VHS]
Movie Review: GREAT SHOW
Summary: 5 Stars
UNFORTUNATLY I MISSED (REFUSED TO WATCH) THE FIRST SEASON, THINKING IT TO BE ANTI VET. MAN WAS I WRONG. BEING A VET I COULD RELATE, AND THE REALITY OF MANY EPISODES BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. THIS IS ANOTHER SERIES THAT SHOULD BE PRESERVED ON DVD AND SHOWN TO TODAYS GENERATION (WITH SOME EXPLANATION). Movie Review: Definitely needs to be brought out on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this show! It is my all time favorite. They really should bring it out on DVD. Not just the pilot episode, but all of the episodes! I would buy them at any cost.Movie Review: The "China Beach" experience
Summary: 4 Stars
The pilot to "China Beach" (and the series) is one of the best of its kind to come out of the post-Vietnam era regarding many aspects of that time; including the trauma, drama, suffering, brutality, futility, heroism, and dedication to serving the health professions during a conflict that nobody wanted.
In spite of knowing the total ostracism they would face when returning from serving in Vietnam, they gave totally of themselves to save as many of the broken bodies and souls as was humanly possible under totally horrendous conditions...a difficult theme to depict through any media.
Movie Review: China Beach Series needs to be on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
China Beach is one of the best shows I have ever seen on television, and I miss it. I am always looking for a station to have reruns of it, however, I have not found one where I live yet.
Please bring the series on DVD. I know I will be the first in line to buy it when it comes out.
Movie Review: No better TV ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only a scratchy VHS tape of the pilot episode, but it is one of my treasured possessions. The scene in which Chloe Webb in her showgirl outfit holds the hands of the two fatally wounded soldiers (one horribly burned) and sings "This is Dedicated to the One I Love" has to be the most haunting scene in all my years of watching TV.
I am proud to be a physician at a veterans hospital. While this series was on, my colleagues would discuss the show the morning after at work. Sometimes we couldn't say anything more than "could you believe that?" There wasn't anything more anyone could say except to know that we were all moved beyond words. It certainly increased my commitment to taking the best care of the vets that I possibly could, even though I never went to Viet Nam.
How can this series not havemade it to DVD when you can buy every other piece of junk within a year of it being canceled?
