"La 317e Section" is the best indokino out there.

It's not widely known, even in France, but it's a great movie, directed by Pierre Schoendoerffer, an army photographer/reporter that actualy fought at Dien Bien Phu, and saw some shit in viets camps.

« I forced everyone to live the military life, said the director. A movie about war can't by done, feeling comfortable. Each morning, we would wake up at 5, and walk across the jungle. Each week, we received supplies by airdrop. The film reels were sent to Paris by the same way. From here, we were told by telegraph " Good " or " Not Good ".

>the actors used real bullets as it was cheaper, in Cambodia
>they could hear the real Vietnam war raging on from the jungle

I love how faggots go on about, "We did this, we did that, MY military is better than YOUR military," when you, I, and no one else on this board had anything to do with that war. Your country and its government are not representations of yourself, you don't have to feel insecure when someone talks shit about its military. I know the indoctrination runs deep, but try identifying as your own person every now and then, you might even like it.

The french got their ass kicked by the Viet Minh, this is a fact.

Numerous scenes showing the Vietnamese as actual functioning human beings rather than screaming banzai attackers

>kicking commie ass
No such scenes until broken arrow and the bayonet charge

Was filmed in Georgia and Cali exclusively, you fucking mong.

Tho sadly that isn't saying much considering how much everyone else cut their ability to even defend themselves against a couple million unarmed intruders.

Come one Germany you can do better.

Anyway the whole point of the Maginot Line was to force Germany to go through the low countries so the war wouldn't be fought on French soil which kind of worked. France didn't expect whole armor divisions to go through the Ardennes though which led to the breakthrough at Sedan which was only guarded by the worst French divisions.
