War Poetry At Its Best

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2005)

What a movie..... The background track of platoon will haunt me for the rest of my life ........ William Dafoe plays the role of his lifetime ...... The heart wrenching cry he gives in the end when his commander puts a bullet in his back is one of the greatest scenes u will ever get to see ...... he just lifts his hands up in the air and cries in a heartbreaking fashion.... Anyone can invest anything to just see this one moment in this movie..... The movie as a whole is brilliant ........ Berenger gives a marvellous performance as a ruthless soldier who sticks to his cause ... sheen gives another good performance as an ordinary soldier forced to live under extraordinary cicumstances.... All in all the war scenes really stand out as one of the best... In a way the movie is faster paced than saving private ryan and hece i felt slightly superior ...... I recommend this movie to anyone ... Watch it for william Dafoe ... Watch it for the scene which redefined war movies
