Really restore the Vietnam War, the war turns people into demons

The field platoon is the real Vietnam War. The war turns people into the devil's Vietnam War classic-the field platoon. I haven't watched war movies for a while. This movie is indeed sighing. There is an interesting point of view, saying that it is impossible for people to make a real anti-war movie. Any so-called anti-war movie is first of all a war movie, and war movies give people a sense of strength and adventure. , More or less will give people a sense of fighting full of fun. In my opinion, the field platoon broke this view. In the past, World War II movies often conveyed the justice of war, not to mention the current anti-terrorism movies. And this is what makes the field platoon unique. First of all, the Americans do not agree with the justice of the Vietnam War. Second, the pattern of the film is not macroscopic, focusing on the changes of ordinary low-level soldiers, especially the male lead Charlie. Charlie, who was originally a college student, volunteered to join the army and came to Vietnam. He was first taught that he did not belong here, and the only reason to fight was to survive. The long march, the tropical rain forest full of poisonous insects and snakes, maintained a high degree of nervousness at all times for fear of being killed, and the recruits quickly fell into a state of close to collapse. Because of this, seeing the enemy approaching but unable to move during the night's vigil, it almost made a mistake. After that, he unknowingly grew into a qualified soldier, his heart began to change gradually, and he even learned to shoot civilians to force him to dance. There is no justice or evil in the film, Scarface Barnes is cruel and merciless, and bloodthirsty. Elis is also an experienced veteran, who is more merciful than Barnes, but has to use drugs to escape reality. After the village conflict, the field platoon was divided into two factions, Barnes and Elis. In a battle, Barnes, who was supposed to support Elis, shot him with a black gun. Elis, who was trapped in the siege, faced the flying away. The helicopter can only raise its arms and howl helplessly (this is the theme poster). At the end of the film, the male protagonist Charlie also shot Barnes's black gun for revenge. At this moment, I believe that the hero has a new understanding of war and human nature. The whole movie is almost the history of Charlie's growth (or change), borrowing from Charlie's perspective to objectively restore the Vietnam War (or war) itself. It does not sing high-profile anti-war, but presents the most real war in front of the audience, allowing people to reflect on themselves. College students who were kind and upright eventually became distorted in human nature and killed each other. In cruel wars, there are indiscriminate killings of innocents and intrigue. Maybe there is only one war between ordinary people and the devil. The film title field platoon also determines that its scene will not be particularly grand. War fans who want to watch a large-scale offensive and defensive battle may be disappointed. There is not even a tank in the film. But it does not affect the reality of the film. The direct contest between M16 and AK47 is also the same. exciting. Although it is a movie in the 1980s, it is much better than the anti-Japanese drama of previous years. Similarly, the background music didn't impress me very much (it didn't seem to have any background music), except that the soundtrack at the beginning and the end was more tragic, nothing good. Perhaps the best background music for war movies is the sound of guns. ps: The last article on the history of the death of romance couldn't be published alive, so let me try this one.

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.
