A Moving Experience....

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2010)

Legendary Filmmaker Oliver Stone makes a film that moves you, shakes you, questions you, in 'Platoon'. A film where entertainment gets stabbed and reality takes it's place. Stone has made classics, but 'Platoon' is a rare film, a great film!
Several films have been based on the infamous Vietnam War, 'Full Metal Jacket' was one of those oh-so stunning films. 'Platoon' is a semi-autobiographical film about Stone's experience in combat, Stone had the courage to re-set all the violence, the gore, the back-stabbing in 'Platoon'. 'Platoon' is about living the war within, with the devil inside you. Stone surpassed himself so much, that I can't recollect any other classic this legend has made.
When I say that 'Platoon' is cult classic, I mean it in all means. The Performances deserve a special mention: Willem Dafoe is outstanding. An Icredible Talent which we'll never forget! Charlie Sheen plays the protagonist with amazing understanding. Tom Berenger, as the villain, stands out. Johnny Depp makes a terrific cameo, so does Forest Whitaker. Others are perfect.
'Platoon' is a experience..... A thousand thumbs up!
