Platoon

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2020)

I remember I was really sick at home. So, okay, I remember loving this movie when I first saw it in my teen times. I was way into Vietnam but nowwwwww...
I see this movie as just a mess. Was there a big mission? Did the soldiers have to overcome anything as a unit or separately? Exaaaactly.
Oliver Stone apparently screamed at actors (i.e. Johnny Depp) for not believing their performances so he would be doing take after take after take. Just to try to get the performance.
Buuut when he's using actual foreigners for the citizens' death scenes, it's obvious he doesn't care about their acting. "Vietnam man/woman fall down? Good, that's all I need."
Willem Dafoe acting his heart out. To die. It's fine.
D cuz just cuz I'm jaded now doesn't mean it's not good. I just... can't figure out anymore why it's good.
