special edition: Platoon dvd. November 27, 2009
Dr. Feelgood (USA)
Insightful, compelling, and a somewhat realistic account of, the war in Viet Nam, as seen through the eyes of the soldiers' perspective. For the sake of Hollywood, story telling, the characters and events were altered for dramatic purposes. So, it's not a documentary, or even close to one. The images, and war footage, was realistic looking in a way, giving the viewer a sense of what it was like, over there. Unlike Apocalypse Now, which was more metaphorical, not to say, that Platoon, also, did not rely heavily upon symbols as well. The characters in the film, took on symbolic roles, depicting the struggle that was present in the soldiers, who were not seen as all good, or all bad either.

 Tragedy in Vietnam August 26, 2009
Lee Jensen (Rio Rancho, New Mexico USA)
The video protrays the deep seated frustration of Army troops serving in Vietnam revealed by the numerous fighting among ourselves. The ending thought accurately depicts the movie when the leading character states to the effect,that the enemy was more ourselves than the North Vietnamese.
