    Pros: Good Realism. True it was like that. I was with the infantry,

    Cons: none

    The movie depicts a great realistic truth to the war. It explains that the war was real. It wasnt there fault we lost. It was inevvidible. Charlie sheens speech about the way the ones who faught for us were the outcasts of society protecting the peop...le who shunend them. Read more Less

    NO QUESTION * VERY REALISTIC FILM on VIE

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 2, 2003

    Probably one of the best films ever made regarding the horror of the Viet Nam war. There are several realistic films out there - such as - Born on the 4th of July - Apocalypse Now - Full Metal Jacket - Casualties of War & of course The Deer Hunter am...ong others.Platoon however, captures an essence of war that takes you in very close - side by side with the enlisted man.The horror's of war not only of being there and having to do what you have to do to survive but also the insanity & reality of being somewhere that you just dont belong as a human being.Platoon also makes us realize the need for the buddy system during war & how that effects each individual with there own personal problems and ideals. Really a terrific example of how great a film can be - when the correct consultants are advising you in the making of the film. This is certainly at least an 8 on a scale of 10 in my review.

    In Regards to those negative reviews...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 13, 2001

    Wake Up People! Why else would AFI put this in their top ten...they don't just put any ole film on there! There is a stroke of genius mixed with realism and thats what is takes to make a great film such as this. There are very few films that can p...ortray something that happened as aweful as the Vietnam War. Read more Less

    One of the best war movies ever

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 19, 2001

    This is one of the best war movies ever made. dafoe and bergenger's characters are rich and they personify good and evil perfectly. It's heart wrenching, smart and unforgetable. and for acompletely unexpected bonus - Oliver Stone has no stupid ass ...indian imagery running amok :) Read more Less

    Best Vietnam war film of all time!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2000

    If you haven't seen this movie, either rent it tonight or buy it! Details the trials and tribulations of a young "rich kid" and his divided platoon as they experience the reality and horrors that were the Vietnam war. Sheen, Dafoe and Berringer give... career performances. This is truly a must see!! Read more Less
