      After watching the movie, there are bullets in my heart

      Although the mainstream American public opinion did not give this excellent war movie too much praise due to national sentiment, it cannot shake its outstanding position in the history of war movies. This Vietnam War movie, shot in 1986, is far inferior to the "big" movie that only knows how to spend money on big scenes and big explosions in terms of plot, actor characterization and film performance art.

      The cruelty of war has changed people who were originally pure and kind. From the...

      Human nature is evil

      In fact, I am very disgusted with such pure war films. At first glance, it reminds me of the vulgarity and hypocrisy of civil war dramas. But I have to admit, this movie is a classic! I haven't seen such a good movie in a long time! Compared with several other classic Vietnam War films>, , , , as well as psychedelic philosophy, dark humor, and warmth other than war, this film uses 100% focus on portraying the naked hell of war. Even the usual...

      field platoon

      Stone's films usually reflect the current affairs and politics of the United States. If you want to understand the darkness of the United States, Stone's films must not be missed. I have seen Stone's "Born to Kill" before, and I think it's just a bit surreal. After watching this film, I feel that from a narrative point of view, the story structure of this film is very clear. Through the contradictions between the station friends, the factions assigned, and the ever-changing performance in the...

      Three types of behavior of people in war

      "Field Platoon", Platoon, Best Picture Oscar in 1987, Vietnam War theme. Dedicated to the men who fought and died in the Vietnam War. After watching the film, I didn't find Johnny Depp. As a result, when the actor was introduced at the end of the play, there was a faceless Johnny Depp as Lerner holding a child, but I still didn't see it! There are three key words in this movie, one is killing, such as Barnes; the other is human nature, such as Elias; and the other is the entanglement between...

      The film's thinking about human nature is profound, but the film is too realistic and ignores the story itself, making it very sleepy to watch. Compared to several other business cards reflecting on the Vietnam War, this one is the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. Once the role played in the filming process is killed, the actors can go home immediately. When the filming was about to end, Sean was very sad in the helicopter scene; 
    2. The film was shot in the Philippines. The actors spent two weeks in the jungle living in a military camp; 
    3. At the request of Oliver Stone, some special Marlboro cigarettes-cherry red packaging were made specifically for the film. This is to get closer to the...

    Evaluation action

    One of the great things about the film is that it truly portrays the madness and chaos of war, and how war makes people lose their minds. For most veterans who participated in the Vietnam War, Vietnam is a place of killing filled with painful memories, and the shadow that the Vietnam War left on Americans' hearts has only gradually disappeared in recent years.
