Add to a movie listThe Abandoned Field: Free Fire Zone (Vietnamese: Cánh đồng hoang) is a 1979 Vietnamese drama film directed by Nguyễn Hồng Sến. It won the Golden Prize and the Prix FIPRESCI at the 12th Moscow International Film Festival.
The film gives an "unnerving and compelling .. subjective-camera-eye-view" of life under helicopter fire in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. The film cuts to an (American) "helicopter-eye view", contrasting painfully with the human tenderness seen earlier.
Synopsis
The film completely takes place within the perimeter of an empty field, but it exploits both the space under the water (from under the water surface of the field) and the edges of the sky (where there are American warplanes conducting raids).Comments

L'univers de Star Wars est amorcé avec le conflit entre la République galactique et la Confédération des systèmes indépendants, alliance de planètes séparatistes. Cette confédération entraîne des dirigeants de la République dans des affaires ingérables à cause des manigances du Chancelier Suprême Palpatine, chef d'État de la République, qui dit servir la démocratie tout en visant secrètement à établir un empire. Pour rétablir la paix, les Jedi combattent les ennemis de la République, sans savoir que les deux camps sont manipulés par les Seigneurs Sith (Palpatine étant en réalité le Seigneur Sith Dark Sidious). Les Jedi, comme les Sith, sont sensibles à la Force, une capacité d'origine physiologique qui permet à leurs détenteurs d'acquérir certains pouvoirs surnaturels.

Pour le bicentenaire de Waterloo, un docu-fiction haletant révèle les derniers secrets d’une bataille aussi célèbre que chaotique. Retour sur l’ultime déroute de Napoléon. Le 18 juin 1815, se déroule une bataille majuscule, de celles qui marquent les changements d’époque. Après Waterloo, Napoléon sera contraint d’abdiquer, la France perdra à tout jamais son statut de première puissance mondiale et l’Empire britannique connaîtra un nouvel essor. Des conséquences incalculables pour ce maelstrom chaotique qui aura duré une journée seulement, et causé la mort de 11 000 soldats et fait 35 000 blessés. En lançant ses 120 000 grognards à l’assaut des troupes britanniques et prussiennes qui, près de deux fois plus nombreuses, menacent la France par le nord, Napoléon espérait pourtant que Waterloo apparaisse comme son "chef-d’œuvre, la bataille des batailles". Mais, fatigué et peu inspiré, l’Empereur se heurte à l’habileté tactique du duc de Wellington et du maréchal Blücher.
