Review of Platoon (1986) by Ryan V — 04 Nov 2011
Vietnam masterpiece that displays not only the horrors of combat, but also the ways soldiers tried to escape their situations. This came mainly through alcohol and drug abuse. Personality alterations matching both substances ensue.
More than one vet has talked to me about the authenticity of this film and what it depicts. This is Oliver Stone at his best.
