Movie:
Released in 1986 Platoon provided a gritty narrative of one soldier's experience on the front
lines of Vietnam when many were still coming to terms with the lingering effects of the war overall. The congruent theme is survival against both the enemy &
ourselves. More specifically it explores how a chaotic war broke
down the line of command which led to an every man for himself situation to
unfold deep within the jungle behind enemy lines. Casting is flawless
with Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger & Willem Dafoe equally holding their
ground. The music score is well known along with a few other shots
that will cause de ja vu. In regards to improvements...- Lets get out our time machine & shoot it in HD so we can get a better understanding of the jungle. It is such a big element in the movie it is practically a character as well.
- Hold off on animating Tom Berenger's eyes with fire during one particular scene of the film. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time but it's similar to a shaky badly timed zoom.
- Tone down Charlie Sheen's hair it's not realistic for the setting.
On a scale of 100.
