Great Vietnam movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2002)

Platoon was one of the first of many Vietnam War films to show the injustices and human tragedies that occurred in the jungles of Southeast Asia. This movie won film of the year in 1986 and anyone who objects need to study not only the amazing performances by all of the men in the film but also the storyline that shows us how man's feelings are hardened to the point of breakdown in War. This movie is a presentation meant for everyone to see what Vietnam Veterans had to go through, done specifically so that the public embraces them now and does not shun them like the whole nation did after the war. Like Veterans, anyone who has had some or tremendous emotional difficulty with some of life's obstacles will relate to this film more than the average person. Platoon provides us with a glimpse into the insanity of war, the brotherhood of combat, and most importantly the deterioration of feelings until the point where trust can only be placed in the man who fights by your side.
