BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY is the emotionally powerful document of one daughter's journey to discover the father she never knew. Director Tracy Droz Tragos was just three months old when her father died in the Vietnam War. Thirty years later, she set out on a cross-country odyssey to find out more about Lt. Don Droz, travelling from California to the U.S. Senate and all places in between in search of her father's old war buddies (including fellow swift-boat commander, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts). Through compelling interviews with these men, as well as family photographs, letters, home movies, and audiotapes, Tracy is finally able to know her father as more than just a soldier or a shadowy photograph on the wall. By uncovering both the painful details of her father's death and the very qualities that made him human, Tracy allows herself and her family to understand, grieve, and cope with a painful loss that is shared by an estimated 20,000 veteran families in the U.S.

This is the only Tracy Droz Tragos video.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Outstanding Documentary!!!
This was the most touching film I've seen about the aftermath of the Viet Nam War. It so clearly shows the heartbreak that war leaves behind even 30 years later. An excellent piece. It should be required viewing for every politician who has the capability of sending our sons and daughters into conflict.

Youth gangs took over the slums of Rio de Janiero during the 1960s and didn't relinquish their stronghold until the mid-1980s. Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity. ...

John Ford's memorable screen version of John Steinbeck's epic novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter, Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen), a neighbor now nearly mad with grief, tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine), Tom finds his extended family, including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell), packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country, their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California, the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves ...

ELEPHANT won the Palme D'Or and Best Director at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. Winner of the Palme d'Or and Best Director prizes at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, Gus Van Sant?s (Good Will Hunting, Finding Forrester) Elephant takes us inside an American high school on one, single ordinary day that very rapidly turns tragic. Elephant demonstrates that high school life is a complex landscape where the vitality and beauty of young lives can shift from light to darkness with surreal speed. Stars Alex Frost, Eric Deulen, John Robinson, Elias Mcconnell, Jordan Taylor, Carrie Finklea. Gus Van Sant's drifty, eloquent, and effortlessly poignant ELEPHANT is loosely based on the massacre at Columbine High School. (On April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colorado two 17-year-old boys fired semiautomatic weapons on their high school classmates, killing 13, injuring 25, and then taking their own lives.) Van Sant's film is set in Portland, Oregon and uses non-actors chosen from an open casting call of high school ...

The fierce debate leading up to a presidential election involves some tough talking on both sides of the political divide. But when John Kerry and George W. Bush went into battle in the buildup to the 2004 race to the White House, the usual political mudslinging contained a formidable war of words, and most of the words were about war. The Vietnam War has long cast a shadow over American politics and Kerry's tenure as a soldier in Vietnam meant that the subject was put firmly back on the political agenda once he decided to run for president. Filmmaker Paul Anderson picked up on this, and decided to trace Kerry's service record during the war, discovering that the senator served as commander of a six-man team aboard Patrol Craft Fast 94, which traversed the Mekong Delta river in 1969. Anderson tracked down the surviving five members of the boat crew--including Kerry--and offers their various recollections in BROTHERS IN ARMS. Doubts have been cast over Kerry's ...
