Awe

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

I have seen this movie easily a half a dozen times, and I find that the beauty of the film is how Platoon not only shares his innocence and purity with others, including the audience, he also manages to retain that innocence and purity through some very difficult times. As a Viet Nam veteran, and a college graduate of the late Sixties, I could of course personally relate to the various periods that Platoon endures. I would only mention that the skillful and seamless blending of music, action, and period costume was enthralling.
