Quote by: Chaossaber314  It's not just Anti-war movies but it seems like anything dealing with the current time period is doing poorly. Look at Oliver Stone's World Trade Center. It was largely apolitical trying to focus on the tragedy rather than the politics. As I recall, that tanked as well.
Point is, people are looking for an escape, not a reminder of how screwed up things have been since the beginning of the decade. |
Hair the popular broadway play protesting the war came out in 1967 and the movie in 1979.
While you are right that most of the anti-war movies came out after the war, some noticeable ones came out right after the war when the sting of defeat was still on Americans tongue: Apocalypse Now (1979), Deer Hunter (1978) and Hair (1979).
