3. Platoon
This is another of the Oliver Stone Vietnam films this one being told from the point of view of the (grunt) soldier in country during Vietnam. I'm not going to include "Born on The 4th of July" (which is the second film in the trilogy) because frankly, I just didn't dig it all that much.
I remember when it (Platoon) was first released, reading and hearing news of the veterans' reactions to it. Strong men, leaving theaters in tears.
"I believed in our country, believed in the ideals, believed the communists were undermining us everywhere" Oliver Stone, Director of "Platoon".
