platoon is the best Vietnam war film that was ever made it is so realistic u will be transported into the Nam yourself with the grunts on the front line in the movie with each character having different traits and the two commanding officers Barnes and alias having opposing personality's which creates a civil war between the platoon and the subject which is Charlie Sheen a educated young man who joins the war effort for patriotic purposes but soon discovers the true reality of war i have given this movie a 10 out of 10 vote because i feel this movie has saved my life Oliver stone made this movie having served in Vietnam himself to expose the horror and insanity of war which exposes the propaganda tactics of American and British government's which try to get young men and women to join the armed forces for political purposes only to be killed or maimed in action when i was 16 i saw this movie and it made me think twice about joining the British army i thank god now as i could have been drafted to Iraq and maybe killed or injured in a pointless war effort which is similar to what vets went through in Vietnam remember this is only my opinion yours maybe different but watch this and enjoy a masterpiece of movie making peace :-)

back in the day i watched this movie twice it wasn't very good the acting was pretty poor they just seem to grunt at each other there is no real communication between the characters although its not what i would call i low budget movie its i don't know just seems kinda i mean what I'm saying in comparison to other gangsta movies this is bottom of the pile check out eastsidaz or hustle and flow instead one thing positive i will say about this movie is the ending which kinda made me think about my own life and the difference between right and wrong this is my 1st review of a movie hope it has made sense to people i will try harder next time lol peace
