"Field Platoon", Platoon, Best Picture Oscar in 1987, Vietnam War theme. Dedicated to the men who fought and died in the Vietnam War. After watching the film, I didn't find Johnny Depp. As a result, when the actor was introduced at the end of the play, there was a faceless Johnny Depp as Lerner holding a child, but I still didn't see it! There are three key words in this movie, one is killing, such as Barnes; the other is human nature, such as Elias; and the other is the entanglement between the two, such as the male protagonist Taylor, in the final battle, in order to To avenge Elias, he killed Barnes in the chaos, and finally committed the killing in the name of human nature.

    It is meaningful to show the evil US military and innocent Vietnamese civilians in the real Vietnam War

    Taylor is the son of Elijah and Barnes. Learning and animals are two extremes. Under abnormal conditions of war, it is more difficult to distinguish good from evil. How can we feel the atmosphere on the battlefield when we calmly set things aside and watch the movie. We hate the “untimely kindness” of the soldier in Save Private Ryan, and we hate the cruelty of Barnes. They are just pictures presented through movies. Who knows what happened to them separately before? Who can fight politics?

Platoon quotes

  • Bunny: [to Private Taylor] Fucking pussy, man. He's laughing at you. That's the way the gook laughs.

    [to Vietnamese villager]

    Bunny: Yeah, sure you are. You're real sorry, ain't you? You're just crying your little hearts out about Sandy and Sal and Manny.

    Sgt. O'Neill: Forget about it, Bunny, huh? Let's go. What do you say?

    [Bunny hits the Vietnamese villager over the head with the butt of his shotgun]

    Bunny: Holy shit! You see that fucking head come apart, man? I never seen brains like that before, man. I bet you the old bitch runs the whole fucking show, man. She probably cut Manny's throat. She would probably cut my balls off if she had the chance.

    Sgt. O'Neill: Bunny, we leave now. Nobody saw a fucking thing! You understand me, Taylor? Not a fucking thing.

    Bunny: Fucking woman, man. Come on, man, let's fucking do her, man. Let's do this whole fucking village!

  • Chris Taylor: [after taking down a group of NVA soldiers] I got two of them fuckers, man!

    Rhah: I got one!

    Chris Taylor: [cups hand to his mouth] Ho Chi Minh sucks dead dick!

    [whoops]
