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 marching poisonous insects, leeches, and hidden mines will tell the truth that death accompanies every moment.
The dialogue at the beginning of the film mentions that the soldiers of the Vietnam War were all from the bottom of society and were themselves forgotten groups. The film depicts several supporting characters to express their helplessness, distortion, and liberation in the war. Among them, the two most influential supporting characters, Ilya and Ren, are the most battle-hardened among the group, but one symbolizes the brilliance of human nature and the other symbolizes complete killing and death. The protagonist is an idealist, who begins to influence when Ilya stops the massacre of Vietnamese villagers, igniting the spark of humanity and justice; after Ilya is plotted, he naively wants revenge. At the end, the protagonist grew into a brave and wise warrior like Ilya and survived, but still used Ren's method to achieve his "justice". As in the last line, he is the son of the two of them. In war, evil reality and the light of humanity are forever fighting, isn't it in real life too?
Ilya survived after being plotted by her own people. At first, she prevented the massacre and saved many Vietnamese poor, but now she is chased and killed by the Vietnamese who wanted to save it. At the moment when the bullet fell to the ground, this poster was portrayed, which is very classic!

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.
