I detest some of the acts, but love the movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2012)

This movie is on the top of my list of favorite movies ever. My mom even hates war films, but loves this movie! Even though I detest some of the actors, such as Charlie Sheen, Keith David, Kevin Dillon, and Tom Berenger....I still love this movie because it depicts the Vietnam war. We Were Soldiers and Platoon are my two favorite Vietnam war films because of the gruesome action and it makes me have very high respect for war veterans. Oliver Stone did a fantastic job on showing the terrors of war and how it can drive people literally insane. As it the subtitle says "The first casualty of war is innocence", which I find shocking...but it is very true. If you haven't seen this movie, it is a must-see and don't listen to all those Platoon haters, they must not have respect for the war veterans....because this movie shows exactly what they had to go through in the battles. I always watch this movie on memorial day....its truly amazing.
