Comments

Oh this is why I love being a patreon 💞🌺🌷💐💕🌹❤️👍 but another Vietnam movie that I would recommend would be hamburger Hill,, and for a good Gulf war movie I would recommend Three Kings

Link doesn't seem to be active...m

Shanwyn Nightfox

And never forget his amazing and oscar worthy performance, and cameo of his father in... Hot Shots 2 :D

This movie is rough very difficult to watch you’re a brave young woman

THE. BEST. WAR. MOVIE. EVER!!!!!!

Allen W. McDonnell

Great job, I so rarely get to watch premiers as they happen! Platoon is a movie I watched in college many times. I had relatives there and in college I made friends with vets who served there. On more than three occasions I had vets tell me the movie was so real it felt like a flashback and I watched one veteran break down and collapse during a battle scene when the voice track was Vietnamese language battle cries. The movie is very intense especially if you are sensitive to the suffering of others and it is based on real life letters home. My eldest sisters husband spent two years over there and my oldest brother only avoided the draft by marrying and having a child as he graduated high school making him exempt.

Cassie, great reaction as always. I knew you would have a hard time with some of the scenes.

David Freese

Sorry I missed most of the primiere. I'll rewatch it tonight

Celeste, what was it Clark Gable said, about war, in GWTW? Something about a waste, or destroying what it protects? Ironically, things haven't changed that much, even to this day. Sad!!......🤔

Celeste McAllister

Wasn't it Rhett Butler(Clark Gable) whom said "Frankly My Dear I Don't Give a Damn!"..Not much changes for the best,just flip flops from one generation to the next.✌😎

Benjamin Gerrald

All I can say is, be glad this was not hamburger hill.

Shawn Kildal

Just remembered Tom Berringer and Charlie Sheen also starred in Major League together.

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. Robert E. Lee

David Conroy

If you want to watch a war movie of the less grueling kind, I will again recommend Their Finest (2016). It's a British movie that didn't get enough attention over here. It's about people living through The Blitz (i.e. the bombings) in London while trying to make an inspiring propaganda film about the miracle of Dunkirk. It's definitely a drama, but it includes a lot of comic relief at the expense of the movie business and it will entertain you instead of eating at your soul the way Platoon does.

Joyeux Noel is one that you need to watch based on true events in WWI. It is a perfect December watch

Cassie, I get the feeling that after this it will be a long time before you watch Apocalypse Now, but I don't think you'll find that movie nearly as difficult emotionally as Full Metal Jacket and Platoon were. War movies always have rough scenes, but overall Apocalypse Now isn't really trying to drive home the same message as this, and is less concerned with what seemed to bother you so much about these movies. I predict you won't be anywhere near as traumatized by it as you were with these other two.

Jonathan Fearby

Platoon’s probably the most raw Vietnam film- one of the very few where you see Americans committing war crimes. Apocalypse Now is a dark but in a more stylised way where as platoon feels very real.

Shawn Kildal

Cassie, I know you said The Bridge on the River Kwai is on the agenda. Just so you know it's a much more pleasant viewing experience than Platoon.

Happy Hanukkah

Well obviously, as the noble Japanese in the Co-Prosperity Sphere were much more humane and civilized than those cowboy Yanks in Vietnam! [Yes, that was sarcasm (:eyeroll:), definitely not directed at Shawn or even particularly at the movies.]

Ria Grix

Humans, capable of all that killing and torture but somehow also capable of creating a movie that moves you to tears.

Clay F

While in college in 1986, I watched Platoon in the theater. Stunning. Nothing like it before then.

AC5555

Oliver stone served in Nam and made a whole trilogy that includes Born on the 4th of July and Heaven & Earth. Would recommend seeing the other two for sure!
