Platoon

Action Drama War

1986, Movie, 2h

Director Oliver Stone drew from his own experiences for this searing antiwar epic, one of the most brutally realistic Hollywood films made about the horrors of the Vietnam War. Alongside an impressive cast that includes Willem Dafoe and Forest Whitaker, Charlie Sheen delivers an intense performance as Chris Taylor, a teenage Army recruit who is deployed to Vietnam, where he witnesses firsthand the atrocities of war—many of which are carried out by his own comrades—forcing him to confront the morality of America’s military involvement. Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Director, PLATOON remains an overwhelming experience thanks to its stunningly raw, visceral imagery.

Oliver Stone's war classic is overlooked sometimes because of it's brutal but long-winded potrayal of the duality of man. This however remains gripping stuff.

Elsket hvordan alle siger den her ikke var bedre en apocalypse now. Såen?🤨 Du kan ikke sammenligne dem med hensyn til genre lol. Det eneste de har til fælles er at det var samme krig og hovedeskuespilleren har samme efternavn

En af de bedste Vietnam krigsfilm, som jeg har set. Charlie Sheen gør det næsten så godt som farmand gjorde det i Apocalypse Now!

En krigsfilm går ju aldrig fel, denna innehåller snygga specialeffekter och dialoger. Gillar även de inre dialoger i filmen och dramatiken i filmen är lyssande. 7/10 Punschrullar.
