Sir! No Sir!

2005 · 85 min Documentary War
6.7 / 10 · TMDB

Sir! No Sir! is a documentary film about the anti-war movement within the ranks of the United States Military during the Vietnam War. It consists in part of interviews with Vietnam veterans explaining the reasons they protested the war or even defected. The film tells the story of how, from the very start of the war, there was resentment within the ranks over the difference between the conflict in Vietnam and the "good wars" that their fathers had fought. Over time, it became apparent that so many were opposed to the war that they could speak of a movement.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film assembles a powerful counter-narrative from within the military itself, using veterans' testimonies and archival footage to stunning effect. It shifts the focus from the well-known civilian protests to the profound, organized dissent among the ranks.

What lingers after the credits is a sobering realization of the courage it took to resist from the inside. This is essential viewing for understanding the full complexity of war and opposition. — MovieFinder Editorial
