60 of 162 · most liked firstthe Bryan Cranston LBJ movie is vastly superior but also picks up right where the Harrelson movie ends. Might I suggest watching them in that order, then putting on Platoon, and then Born on the 4th of July (which I consider a stealth sequel to Platoon, as it features both Willem Dafoe and Dr. Cox)
neutral · AI labelView post →Comparison shots of the Platoon movie and NES game. Someone at Sunsoft did a really good job replicating the scenes from the movie. Platoon is a 1986 war movie produced by Hemdale Film Corporation and distributed by Orion Pictures. The NES game was developed and published by Sunsoft in 1988.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Rambo origin story is just a Vietnam war-is-hell movie. It's Boomer shit. There's a reason we don't keep remaking Platoon in 2025.
neutral · AI labelView post →Something I hadn't noticed until now. In the movie #Mulan, every important scene is treated like a musical, THAT IS UNTIL MULAN'S PLATOON REACH THE DESTROYED VILLAGE. One second they're singing "A girl worth fighting for", the next they fall silent, and NEVER SING AGAIN for the rest of the film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #112 "Platoon" (Oliver Stone/1986) One of my favorite Vietnam era war films. A Hell of a cast putting in great performances all around. You've probably already seen it but if not, you know what to do!
positive · AI labelView post →It's a consistent problem with trying to make a movie as a cautionary tale. Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote about seeing PLATOON with a Vietnam vet, hoping to get some insight into how it depicted the horrors of the war, but his friend's only reaction was "Just another goddamn recruitment film."

neutral · AI labelView post →Welcome to February ... 1988! 38 years ago this month, Ocean released Platoon. An excellent title, made up of mini-games based on scenes from the film, it was a critical & commercial hit for Ocean & signalled a major improvement in the quality of tie-in titles from the Manchester software house.

neutral · AI labelView post →My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games No 5 Platoon Ocean had a history of awful movie tie-ins, but with Platoon they finally delivered the goods. With ace graphics & music, and absorbing mini-game gameplay based on scenes from the film (setting the template for future tie-ins) it's a cracking title.
neutral · AI labelView post →Platoon, but it's the exact same movie except we digitally insert ninety bullets hitting Willam DaFoe at the end
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw Platoon shortly before I joined the Army, and it was about the most realistic group dynamics of the Army movie I have seen. Probably helps that Oliver Stone was a Vietnam vet. His politics now are... problematic for me, but he captured the vibe really well there.
positive · AI labelView post →Sure – I love Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan - but I guess I’d have to say my favorite war movie is the last third of the novel Watership Down.
neutral · AI labelView post →i forgot the name of the movie Platoon but then i looked it up on the internet and now i know it again so we can all relax.
neutral · AI labelView post →1986 was a great year for film btw. Sid & Nancy, Vagabond, Round Midnight, Mona Lisa, Blue Velvet, A Room With a View. Platoon is one I've never rewatched. Very well done, albeit a bit manipulative, as Stone always is. The Fly is iconic. I'm still partial to the original.

neutral · AI labelView post →man Platoon is such a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →On this night (31st March) in 1990, the Scala Cinema was showing Apocalypse Now (1979), Good Morning Vietnam (1987), Platoon (1986) and Full Metal Jacket (1987) as a Vietnam all-nighter.

neutral · AI labelView post →Vienna Philharmonic. Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings Op. 11.” 2019. Summer Night Concert. It’s of course a sad, melancholic piece — notable for its use in the Platoon film score. Really beautiful.
neutral · AI labelView post →one time my mom and step-dad had the house to themselves for an evening and my mom told him to “go rent a good movie 😉” and he came back with a copy of Platoon
neutral · AI labelView post →Guess that depends if you think an "anti-war" film must be the diametric opposite of a war film. Roger Ebert thought Oliver Stone's Platoon was an anti-war film that succeeded at not glorifying war.

neutral · AI labelView post →ideally I would want the Europan ice war film to be tonally between the Terror and Platoon but they'll probably make some shit with crisp rat being estranged from his father

neutral · AI labelView post →😞 The sobering soundtrack - used in the film Platoon - is fitting for the gravity of the harm they cause. That this deceit is sublimated & blindly endorsed by a PM & cabinet - terrible.

neutral · AI labelView post →In the book, Jarhead, the writer talks about how he and his fellow marines would watch ‘anti-war’ films like Platoon and Full Metal Jacket to get themselves psyched up for war. The book was made into an anti-war film.

neutral · AI labelView post →My mom’s favorite movie is Platoon and she watched it All The Time and she’s still putting around 40 years later muttering “Barnes did Elias dirty” and she’s right! Also she’s righteous for teaching me about the world’s finest man at a tender age.
positive · AI labelView post →Platoon (1986), the first American film about Vietnam written and directed by someone who experienced the war firsthand. Oliver Stone started writing his screenplay in 1976, but its roots go back almost a decade earlier. youtu.be/YZTsYYHCYGY?... www.tcm.com/articles/afi...

neutral · AI labelView post →Film in which a bunch clueless National Guard guys go into the bayou and re-enact the plot of Platoon for absolutely no reason while a bunch of Cajuns hunt them for sport. Incredible stuff.
