   Is platoon a good movie based on the Vietnam War?

   What is platoon about?

   • In “Platoon,” there is the constant fear that any movement offers a 50-50 chance between a safe place or an exposed one. Stone sets up his shots to deny us the feeling that combat makes sense. The Vietnam War is the central moral and political issue of the last quarter-century, for Americans.

   May 27, 2011 · Platoon is the grunt's daily view of the in-country war-zone, and it is no more operatic and intensely-wrought than the real-life emotions experienced by those who fought there. With brilliantly drawn characters, a timeless conflict between the heart and the soul and some mind-blowing battle sequences, this movie ranks as one of the all-time ...

   A few words about…™ Platoon — in 4k UHD Blu-ray. I’ve got to be honest. Seeing what appears to be a representation of one Oliver Stone’s Platoon appear on my screen, I began to question my eyes. I fully expected the Orion logo to be a mess, as they’re all taken from the same roll of dupes as the OCN is being conformed.

   Your thoughts on Platoon. 10/10. This is one of my favorite movies, if only for Willem Defoe’s performance in it. Imo it makes the grade as a masterpiece, for several reasons: The film has a clear moral with different characters representing different aspects of human nature (Dafoe as good, Berenger as bad), Yet it avoids being overly simplistic.

   If Truffaut had lived to see “Platoon,” the best film of 1986, he might have wanted to modify his opinion. Here is a movie that regards combat from ground level, from the infantryman’s point of view, and it does not make war look like fun.

    Oliver Stone's Platoon is the most sobering Vietnam War epic ever made. It is an unqualified triumph for its honesty, its artistry, its brutality and its frank portrayal of a nation - our nation - divided by ideology, poverty, racism and drugs.
