Field platoon

(Written on 2007-05-01 11:42:00) I

took a few films home and watched "Platoon" ("Platoon"), filmed in 1986.
This is the first time I have watched a movie about the Vietnam War. From the beginning to the end, there are no tears or emotions. Apart from the subversion, it is shocking.
The film does not impose any concept of right and wrong on the viewer, does not have the traditional Hollywood personal heroism, does not have the brotherhood promoted by "Black Hawk Down" or "Saving the Soldiers", but a group of people counting when the 365-day period ends. Soldier.
Perhaps this is the most profound trauma that the Vietnam War has brought to the American people, so unbearable, so dark and bitter.

The murderous Vietnam battlefield is an out-and-out hell that can swallow everything.
The dark and terrifying tropical jungle, the haunting North Vietnamese guerrillas, and the minefields all over the battlefield.
A minute ago, the teammates who had been talking and laughing with him and living alive were shot and killed in a flash, bloody and bloody... a
nightmare encounter order The nerves of every soldier are tortured, as if they are in purgatory. Fear causes the distortion of human nature and even morality.
Some people began to wantonly slaughter unarmed Vietnamese civilians. Infighting occurred in the team and they killed each other. . .
This is the other side of the war that I have never seen before, and it irritates my eyes nakedly.

When Elijah was retreating alone in the jungle, she met Barn holding the gun. She was surprised at first, and then her smile disappeared. Because the gun was aimed at him again
, the disappointment flashed through his eyes, and the gunshots rang suddenly. My moral bottom line collapsed almost instantaneously.
The picture of Elijah raising her hands up to the sky and kneeling down freezes in her mind, comrade-in-arms, enemy? Hope, despair?
Suddenly it became blurred, and only the incomparable increase in hatred for this war was left.
There is no faith, no justice, no rules. Some people become murderous demons, some self-mutilate in order to be able to return home from injuries, and others pretend to die under the corpses of their comrades in order to get a chance. . . . The stupidity of the Vietnam War policy was exposed by the film with extremely cruel methods and images, which is shocking.
"We don't seem to be fighting the enemy. Our greatest enemy is ourselves."
This is the inner monologue of recruit Chris after leaving the battlefield. The nature of the war is clear.

There is also a "Apocalypse Now" in my hand, which is still the subject of the Vietnam War, so I hesitate to watch it.

Platoon quotes

  • Bunny: You know, Junior, some of the things we done, man... I don't feel like we done something wrong. But sometimes, man, I get this bad feeling. I told the Padre the truth, man. I like it here. You get to do what you want. Nobody fucks with you. The only worry you got is dying. And if that happens, you won't know about it anyway. So what the fuck, man.

    Junior: Shit, I got to be in this hole with you, man? I just know I shouldn't have come.

  • Sgt. Barnes: Boy, what you waiting for? Ain't gonna bite you. That's a good gook. Good and dead.
