"We will rebuild society and spend the rest of our lives thinking about the meaning of life"

What a pale, weak and pretentious sentence at the end... As a beacon of traveling thousands of miles to unrelated unfamiliar countries, using human rights as an excuse to brutally interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, stepping into it after experiencing the president of Sichuan, the new crown, and the sleeping king Today in 2021, the film 35 years ago can no longer touch me...justice? Is it justice to prevent Bath from killing civilians? Then, when Ilya held a gun to shoot at the Vietnamese army, how did you persuade yourself? Seeing Ilya being shot face-to-face by Barn, there was an inexplicable pleasure --- the dog bit the dog, let's be more violent! When the opponent represented by Barn was also killed by his own, he almost cheered, did the right thing, that's it! The ridiculous "I" unexpectedly summed it up and said: The next life will look for the meaning of life!

..... In fact, the Mi Di 35 years ago was torn: the front lines were all poor, almost illiterate, blacks, etc. The rich would not go to war, the rich have been oppressing the poor, so don’t expect it. What quality does the U.S. military have — the moment when the top leaders decided to invade Vietnam??, they showed the world the high quality of Mi Di, and the poor, illiterate blacks were just cannon fodder...

Until today, 35 years later, the film is still brilliant and arrogant. The actual combat scenes are real and impressive. The jungle plants are hot and humid, mosquitoes are everywhere, and the traps are dense. The young people who lived in Mi Di, who was a child with a lot of material, only wanted to go home, go home, and go home after a year. If so, an aggressive war without ideals and beliefs can only end in failure...

The young William was almost unrecognizable, and the handsome male protagonist, under the background of a crowd of crooked teammates, existed like a god... 4 stars, good movie! The films directed by Oliver Stone are all classics and are worthy of recollection.

Platoon quotes

  • Doc: This is bad, man. I got bad vibes here.

  • Chris Taylor: It's the way the whole thing works. People like Elias get wasted. People like Barnes just go on making up the rules any way they want. So what do we do? Sit in the middle and suck on it. We just don't add up to dry shit, King.

    King: Whoever said we did, man? All you got to do is make it out of here, and it's all gravy. Every day, the rest of your life, gravy.
