As a North American war film, "Field Platoon" ranks among the top three films, and it is not in vain~

At that time, Oliver Stone was still young, as the so-called young and powerful, when the filming of "No U-turn" later, I felt that he was decadent;

Depp in 1987 was basically a little fresh meat, but the great director Oliver Stone gave him two shots in the 120-minute movie, like a flash of inspiration; one was when he was retreating in a Vietnamese village, he hugged him A child; another scene is in the subtitles at the end of the film, and he is also holding a child, as if he is here to hold a child. There are no lines, no close-ups, and no plot. Depp will be very popular~

Johnny Depp in "Field Platoon" was still a trooper at that time~

I've always thought that the most exaggerated part of this movie was Sgt. Barnes' scar face, and it needed to show that he's been through all the vicissitudes of life and has a lot of combat experience; I'm wondering what kind of trauma can This scar may be caused by excessive stunt make-up, or because the artistic tension is too great, but it is untrue~ A few words, if the best supporting actor of the 59th Oscars was given to Sergeant Barnes, then the best supporting actor of the 59th Oscars would be the best. Good special effects makeup, the same should be given to the makeup artist~

A face with excessive makeup

As for Willem Dafoe, he performed very well in this movie when he was young, at least on his side of justice and humanity;

In my impression, he has always appeared in a perverted role, maybe it was just that face later, which looked wrinkled and easily aroused the audience's disgust, and the rendering of the role requires a strong actor like him~

On the soldier's arm, there is a tattoo of a cartoon rabbit, which is playful and cute. Of course, you can also interpret it as an angry rabbit.

But I think maybe other soldiers who see this tattoo can temporarily forget the cruelty of war~

Here today, I will add more when I have time!

    8. The lead actor is Sheen's son in Apocalypse Now. I said he was still so young in the past 10 years. I thought he was his younger brother. The one with the most crossfire scenes in the Vietnam War movies I've seen

    Thanks to the film festival for the third time to watch, the classics can't be added. The first two times were DVD5 and DVD9, and the third time was finally dedicated to the big screen. A question that always entangles every time I look at it, if I were Tyler, facing a dying Sergeant Barn, would I pull the trigger of the Karshnikov in my hand? This is a question that I cannot assume or answer.
