Winning a raft of awards, not least of which four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, Oliver Stone's Platoon was a box-office smash heralding Hollywood's second wave of Vietnam war films. Where predecessors The Deer Hunter (1978) and Apocalypse Now (1979) were elaborate epics, Platoon simply showed the daily reality of the war from the point of view of ordinary soldiers. Stone's own service in Vietnam gives his work a unique authenticity. Charlie Sheen gives his best performance to date, enduring a series of increasingly large-scale and bloody battles which retrospectively make one wonder why Saving Private Ryan was hailed as so new. Against this gruelling verity the film falters over the symbolic conflict between good and evil sergeants played by Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger. Even though this was also based in real life, it strikes a too conventionally Hollywood-like note in a film which otherwise maintains much of the raw power of Stone's other film from 1986, Salvador. Johnny Depp fans should look out for an early appearance by the star. Stone would return to Vietnam with the more sophisticated Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and Heaven and Earth (1993).On the DVD: The 50-minute documentary "Tour of the Inferno" goes beyond the usual "making-of" to present a personal account both of the film and of Stone's own time in Vietnam. Likewise the two audio commentaries--one by Stone, the other by Captain Dale Dye, fellow veteran and military technical advisor--range between the making of the film and the degree to which the actors came to inhabit their parts, to their own wartime experiences. Both commentaries bring a fresh level of appreciation and understanding to the film. Also included is the original trailer and three TV commercials, together with well-presented stills galleries of behind-the-scenes photos and poster art. Following a credit sequence marred by dirt on the print, the anamorphically enhanced 1.77:1 image is sharp and clear. The many night scenes are very dark but remain easily comprehensible. The three-channel Dolby Digital sound is suitably raw and powerful, though an early sequence featuring rain in the jungle suffers from very distracting repeated drop-outs in the left channel. --Gary S Dalkin ... less

chris, un giovane americano, parte volontario per la guerra del vietnam non trovando giusto che tocchi sempre agli uomini economicamente svantaggiati e alle minoranze di colore rischiare la vita per la patria. capitato in un plotone, pittoresco per varieta' di composizione, disumanizzato dall'esperienza brutale della guerra nella giungla, in breve tempo chris viene spietatamente iniziato alle esigenze di quella vita violenta, non escluso l'uso della droga per difendersi dalla nostalgia. durante una ricognizione nella giungla, il disumano sergente barnes, che comanda il plotone, scopre un villaggio abitato e ne decide il massacro e la distruzione. la strage e' violentemente esecrata dal sergente elias, che aggredisce barnes e gli assicura un rapporto ai superiori sulle atrocita' da lui commesse. sconvolto dagli orrori del massacro cui ha assistito, chris si trova in marcia col plotone per un'azione contro un bunker dei vietcong, sotto una pioggia torrenziale. per l'errore di un tenente americano che da' coordinate sbagliate, il plotone viene semidistrutto. mentre chris porta in salvo i feriti, barnes incontra elias isolato nella giungla e lo colpisce per vendetta. dall'alto dell'elicottero di soccorso, chris e i sopravvissuti scorgono inorriditi elias ferito, in fuga davanti ai vietcong, che lo uccidono successivamente. nell'ultima azione di guerra della sua ferma di volontario, scampato a un micidiale agguato dei vietcong che hanno completamente annientato il plotone, chris, imbattendosi nello spietato barnes, che ferito tenta di mettersi in salvo, lo uccide con lucida determinazione. ... less

The War That Sparked A Platoon
Advantages: script, direction, scenery and camera-work
Disadvantages: none
...Obviously, this is about the masterpiece that was Platoon, a film by Oliver Stone. This has to be one of the greatest Vietnam War films ever, winning several oscars. Some may say that Hamburger Hill, which is in itself a fantastic film, was the more deserving of the two, but I fell that Platoon, has a certain direction and feeling, that can just pull anyone in.
The film, among many stars, has the, what is a small time talent, of Charlie Sheen, known for films such as Navy Seals. Charlie plays the main, or what is seen to be main, role of the film, with intense narration from him, to add to the power and impact of the scenes. There is a certain quality that is brought to the film, because of the way that this has been integrated, and makes you feel emotional.
So the story basically revolves around a platoon, hence the name...

FREE DVDs
Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review
...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them.
∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊
Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Platoon: The first casualty of war is elegance.
Advantages: Very credible account of Vietnam (Not that ... "I was there man".)
Disadvantages: Credibility problems with Charle Sheen.
...?Six of you guys, one of me, so kill me?
Spread across thousands student bedrooms in the late 80?s, posters depicted the demise of Sgt (Willem Dafoe) Elias. Elias is the metaphorical good to Sgt (Tom Berenger) Barnes?s evil. Stuck in the middle is Chris (Charlie Sheen) Taylor, the films narrator. To me Platoon has always been an ?also ran? compared to Apocalypse Now, possibly due to Charlie Sheens comedic stereotype. However as I watch it, I feel the films power. Where Apocalypse Now is surreal, Platoon is the grunts film. Air Cav? do fly about shooting up 50 calibre machine guns bolted onto 2CV?s, instead the troops lose the plot in a village and commit horrific acts. As a child is about to be slaughtered in the village Sgt Elias quells the madness but you still feel sick and helpless, you feel immense anger towards the ineffectual...
