I have seen this motion picture countless times since the first time I saw it in the theater.
Released many years following the original conflict this fantastic work by Oliver Stone still garners viewership and respect for its intense portrayal of life and death, good and evil, competence and incompetence. And the closeness of the relationship of those comprising a Platoon.
In my opinion it stands as one of the best films about the Vietnam war ever made.
This 1986 picture starred Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Keith David, Francesco Quinn, Kevin Dillon, Forest Whitaker, and John McGinley. Johnny Deep was also cast in this movie.
It is also remembered for the haunting music of Samel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
