Platoon//1986//120 Min.//Color//War
"Why are these cheese dicks shooting at me!"
Guns, check. Grenades, check. Violence, double check. This film had it all! Seriously, all sorts of things were getting blown off and killed in this 80's film about Vietnam. Stone himself a vietnam vet, seems to have plucked the violence straight from his memory bank and put it right onto film.
What a great story war can make. What a vivid images war can make. What good film good old Oliver can make. This film won best picture, and deservedly so. At no point during this flick did my eyes want to rest. The story was superb. The acting made my penis hard.
And that's all that really needs to be said about this film. Well done Platoon. Well done.
9/10 (IMDB has it rated 8.2/10)
