About this product
| Product Information | |
| In PLATOON, Oliver Stone draws on his experience as an infantryman in Vietnam to convey the brutality of guerrilla warfare: the heat of the jungle, the brushes with such wildlife as snakes and leeches, and, most powerfully, the presence of the unseen enemy. Charlie Sheen stars as Chris, a raw recruit, or "new meat," who serves as the film's narrator. At first he wilts under the rigorous conditions of jungle life, freezes up in a fire fight, and wonders whether he'll be able to survive. But he gradually adapts and, as time goes by, begins to see that the platoon is divided into two groups. One consists of lifers, juicers, and subintelligent whites, the other of blacks and heads. Sgt. Barnes, a combat-loving burnout (Tom Berenger), is the informal leader of the lifers, and Sgt. Elias, a free spirit (Willem Dafoe), leads the latter group. When the platoon takes some gruesome losses, an enraged Barnes kills some Vietnamese and orders the burning of their village, outraging the temporarily absent Elias. As the conflict between these two reaches its tragic climax, Chris must decide what he really values. Widely regarded as one of the finest war films ever made, PLATOON reflects not only the United States' division over Vietnam but the timeless truths of battle: terror, disorientation, exhilaration, and horrible loss. | |

Undeniably Stones Most Great Achievements In Film.
You probably may be wishing to learn about the sacrifice and pain that others have gone through in the name of freedom. This movie will put many things into perspective about the time honored truths about the futility of war and how it has shaped so many lives. Oliver Stone was the director of this film. However, you may not have known that Oliver Stone actually served our country in Vietnam. Not only that, but received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart during his tours of duty. How best to honor the fallen men, women, children, and MIAs and POWs of this great conflict. Oliver Stone wanted to make a film that embodied the undeniable irony of the total futility of this war through the eyes of Chris (Charlie Sheen). In doing so, he captured the pure essence of innocence turned into terror. No one man can totally encapsulate a feeling of this war better than Oliver Stone. Everyone needs to see this movie and its historical value in the context of other great moments in history. I met a veteran of Korea and Vietnam the other day. He was 77. He told me much about his time there. Lucky him. Look, Listen, and Live respecting these last remnants of foreign wars. I loved my Grandfather so much when he would tell me his WWII stories, and sometimes it would take him a very long time to GET several words out in a row. PLATOON has won the right to be in the top 100 films of The American Film Institute standing on its own at # 83. This film has a very strong adult content and is not for everyone in the family, however I will say that it will always be a part of my history. Perhaps as a lucky young man that never had to experience these things is why I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in serving your country in any capacity. PLEASE BE SURE AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER NEW AND OLD REVIEWS, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM BE SURE AND SAY SO BY VOTING. THANKS

Give me a break!!!!
This is yet another piece of Oliver Stone garbage that was produced with nothing more than a political slant. I got up and walked out of the theatre when this movie first came out and a week later, the base commander banned this piece of garbage from being played at the base theatre. Anyone who thought that this movie was great and portrayed Vietnam, needs to talk with a veteran of the conflict and then apologize for being brainwashed by Stone. This movie made it appear that everyone in Vietnam was raping women, killing children, using drugs and never left the field. Oliver Stone took every last possible stereotype of the conflict and made it happen in one movie. This is a discredit to our military and once again spits in the face of every soldier that ever served during Vietnam. If you want to see a Vietnam era movie, then watch "We were soldiers". At least the movie didn't have a political slant and honored those that served or lost their lives during the conflict. A 1/5 rating is too good for this waste of film and a better representation would be a 0/5.

classic war drama
i asked myself is this the best vietnam war movie? there is definetly none better. it brings out everything. not only the kill or be killed rule of warfare but also all the rain, the bugs, the lack of sleep, the inner conflict caused by troops on your side. and, perhaps above all else the terrible suffering of civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time. even in ww2, the bloodiest war of all time, there were more civilian deaths than military .

Platoon DVD
I purchased this DVD as a gift for my boyfriend who had been watching a VHS version of Platoon for years. Someone taped the movie off the TV, so he had to fast forward through these HORRID old commercials and the quality of the VHS copy, as I'm sure you can imagine, was simply intolerable. So I was very excited to find this DVD special edition. We were even MORE elated once we put it in, to see all the behind the scene bonus features, etc that it included. More impressive, was the clarity of this film on DVD. It was like watching it for the first time. We watched it in widescreen mode and the sound and effects were AMAZING in comparison to what we had been watching. I scored many points with him and it required little effort to do so. It was shipped nicely, and quickly. I can't say anything bad about it.
