    A deeply moving and disturbing view of the Vietnam war as seen through the eyes of a young recruit.

    Stars Charlie Sheen, Tom Berringer and Willem Dafoe.

    Directed by Oliver Stone.

    the scene that the poster depicts is actually different than how it was filmed...Dafoe is supposed to be riddled with bullets blood flying everywhere, but the squibs didn't go off....and something beautiful happened

    One of the best war films ever made. Oliver Stone takes us into the hell that is war. Charlie Sheen plays a young man who has nothing better to do then sign up for the army. He is sent into the jungles of Vietnam where he meets many different types of people. We have the nice guys, the annoying guys, and some that are plain evil. Really moving and sometimes disturbing.

    A great war movie. And I usually don't like war movies. The cast did an excellent job. It had some gore, but not the type you see today in the new war movies. So they relied on acting and non special effects to show you the pain of war and it really did work.

    Funny someone should mention Johnny Depp. I first saw this movie YEARS ago and only watched it again recently after buying it. The only scene I remembered in the movie is the one where Johnny Depp is carrying the child. That image haunted me for years. This movie exemplifies how ordinary men can lose their humanity when they are placed in situations no men should ever have to experience.

    Platoon is by far the greatest movie in the world. It tells the story of a man going into Vietnam. It tells the truth, it brings forth the real horror of the war and what our boys really went through. It also shows that they not only fought the Vietnamese, but themselves. Willem Dafoe is the greatest actor ever and Tom Berenger is amazing in this movie. They really make this movie. It is my favorite movie, and I hope that everyone that reads this goes out and watches this movie, and I hope that it gets more recognition than it has.

    Johnny Depp shouldn't even be mentioned on the starring cast, in the final cut he has maybe 3 lines.
