65 Platoon

The first casualty of war is innocence

"I love this place at night. The stars... there's no right or wrong in them. They're just there. "

This movie is great except for the star, I hate every minute of Charlie Sheen in this movie especially the end. The guy just was way to cool for himself and it showed. Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger were outstanding the direction was amazing and the story was moving. Where full metal Jacket was an anti war movie this felt more like an human observation movie. I might be wrong but that is how I took it. There are many disturbing scenes in this movie but there are also some very redeeming ones. There is a great scene towards the end where Sgt. Red Oneill brakes face and asks Barnes for leave. To me the drama here was best. Barnes denying this guy basically his only friend leave when the guy is practically begging. I'm not a big war movie buff I have a few on my list some take sides and some dont. I like this one for the style and the charecters, just not the main charecter, blech!
