Still my favorite film, 13 March 2003

Every once in a while I will watch this film again and see if maybe I have
grown tired of it. Surely after "Saving Private Ryan," "Titanic," "Crimes
and Misdemeanors," or "Schindler's List" I have seen a better film. Well,
after every viewing there is something about Oliver Stone's masterpiece
that
keeps me saying that I have never seen anything better.
I am a sucker for Vietnam pictures. "Apocalypse Now" and "The Deer
Hunter"
also rank in my top ten of all time. Stories about Vietnam can run the
entire gambit of human emotions. "Platoon" is not only a documentation of
America's sordid involvement in a foreign civil war, it is also a dramatic
story of human response. A life developing in the most horrible of
places.
There have been films put together better. There have been films with
more
detailed and interesting plots. But none have ever told a more touching
story of human development set in the backdrop of bloody violence and
inhuman suffering.
Rating: 10 out of 10.
