Platoon won the Oscar for Best Picture and features a fine cast. Tom
Berenger became the sergeant you'd love to hate, Willem Dafoe was the
likeable sergeant you'd hate to see meet the fate he met, and Charlie
Sheen starred in his best role ever. Platoon presents the Vietnam War
as a confusing mass of chaos and madness. It wasn't the typical war
movie where every guy on our side is good. But I think that
particular element adds a certain realism to the movie. I think that
is just one of the elements that makes the film stand out as much as
it does. |
