The best War Movie ever made

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2015)

This movie grips you right from the start to the end. As much cliché as it sounds, i didn't blink once throughout the movie as this movie will be a through entertainer and a sad remainder of the past. As both the director and the writer for this masterpiece, he has successfully and accurately depicted the horrors of the Vietnam War taken out straight from his memory lanes when he volunteered to joined to fight for his country.
Charlie Sheen is amazing with his voice narration and genuine facial expressions. Williem Dafoe is surprisingly the good guy here and he is amazing too. But most importantly Tom Berenger gave the performance of a lifetime as an insane but ruthless leader and a true fighter. The score has served it's purpose of providing dark, serious atmosphere and combined with the voice narration of Sheen who has dialogs that hit right in the feels , this movie is a must. It's not just the acting and the dialogs that are moving but the story itself is touching. With characters struggling to cope up with this new found freedom, they inch closer and closer to insanity each passing day. The war has turned some into maniacs as it titillates their darker propensities of those, exposing their inner demons which, in turn, gave birth to animistic behavior like raping children , killing innocents as a 'revenge' and burning down villages . And they enjoyed doing it. Not a feeling of guilt, not a single regret.
The question that haunts me is after the war, those lunatics who survived , what did they do with their lives? How did they adjust back to the society? Well, what i think is that most of them ended up in the streets as those homeless , drunk , vets that are found so much in abundance in the States. States.
