C
Literature became lighter and more focused on the possibilities of the future.
D
Literature depicted the ambiguous and complicated nature of Vietnam warfare.
E
Movies about the war replaced westerns; they featured more complex battles between good and evil.

Explanation

Postwar films often challenged patriotic portrayals of war, reflecting antiwar sentiment instead. Literature and movies also showed Vietnam warfare as morally ambiguous and complicated, rather than a simple battle between good and evil. Vietnam War films increasingly took the place of westerns, while literature did not generally become lighter or mostly follow the unstructured style of beat writing.
