Story full of symbolism about the Americans entering the Vietnam War
The Quiet American was based upon a 1950s book by Graham Greene about the end of French colonial rule in Vietnam and the start of the American involvement there. The story revolves around British journalist Thomas Fowler (Michael Caine) as the outside observer of events in Vietnam, Alden Pyle (Brendan Fraser) who is a diplomat who obviously represents the Americans, and Phuong (Do Thi Hai Yen) who is Fowler’s girlfriend but who starts seeing Pyle. The movie begins at the end and flashes back to explain how things transpired.<br /><br />The story is full of symbolism. Phuong going from Fowler to Pyle for instance is about Vietnam passing from old Europe to the United States. The Americans came claiming they were supporting democracy but propped up military men who had no interest in people’s rule as the future of the country. Pyle claiming the Americans could do in Vietnam what the French couldn’t stood for the hubris of Washington when it entered the war.<br /><br />The movie works on several different levels from the political to the personal between Fowler, Pyle and Phuong.<br />C
