Platoon (1986) :
Brief Review -
Extremely atmospheric use of grounded content makes it just Mind-blowing ! War films have separate fan base and separate listing as far as the grounded content is concerned and Platoon surely makes it to Top 5 War films ever, i give you my words on that. Platoon creates the atmospheric radius around that you just don't want to go out of it. I wish to lock myself in a room in Dolby Atmos and watch this film again in 4K just to feel the atmosphere and check all the jitters again. Holy smoke.. The atmospheric tension gives some unforgettable cinematic moments and stunning vibes that leaves you all sweating even in air conditioning room. Oliver Stone wrote a shattering script but more importantly he delivered it on screen magnificently. The film has 120 minutes of runtime and this was probably a rare time that I stopped until the end credits rolled for like 5 minutes. I was glued to to my seat throughout and had to check if earphones fell down or what? Only one of the greatest War film could do it and that's Platoon for me now on. There are so many characters in the film that some of them might fade away from memory but thier small presence still makes it valueable. The big cast does big enough. Cinematography and Sound mixing are even bigger things to notice. When i first heard that Platoon won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Sound awards at Oscars against mighty competitors i doubted it but now when i am done watching it i can say, it made those mighty look weaker despite less budget. The grounded content like War and face offs of armies in forests is not easy to tell on silver screen but Oliver Stone was in no mood to accept it. 'When going gets tough, the tough gets going' he just nailed this saying like a Boss. A grand salute to the entire team of Platoon for this 'Stone-breaking' archivement. A film that must not be seen but must be Experienced..
RATING - 8.5/10*
