Harun Farocki – Etwas wird sichtbar AKA Before Your Eyes (1981)

Google translated description from the Harun Farocki’s site:
Harun Farocki’s film Something Becomes Visible does not want to explain why a war in such a distant country could for a moment spill over to the whole western world. It’s about distances, relationships between. Nor does he explain, he just reminds us that never before has a war been so massively covered. But it would be too much to say that the pictures helped determine its course. It shows the aftermath, the effects of the war. He combines a historical motif with a romantic one. Vietnam and a couple in love.

We see people in Berlin today who are marked by this war. The sadness is even greater than the disappointment. The times after the revolution are difficult. When you get back to business, when the pure fighters of yesterday lose their innocence. And not only that. The powerful losers knew how to take advantage of the victory of the others. The sympathizers admit defeat on their own ground: the Americans in their books portrayed the opponent much better than all sympathizers with their sympathy.

One side and the other have their say. Between the things, the people, the views, the places, something shows itself. But all distance does not change anything: Farocki’s film is a confession.
The film shows the traces that the Vietnam War left on those who fought against it here: The war stunned this generation.

And on top of that, their language is still marked to the core by the analytical fuss that was used ten years ago to announce that you were on the right side and had read the right authors. Despite all the assertions of the film that with the end of the war the fronts and the one-sided truths disappeared.

(Frieda Grafe, 1982)
