a little disappointed

I just watched the famous Platoon, and I felt a little disappointed. It was not as good as I imagined. As the saying goes, "The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
This conclusion is compared with another master Kubrick's Vietnam War masterpiece Full Metal Jacket. Full Metal Jacket has distinctive features, which directly reflect the destruction of human nature by war. And I feel that Oliver Stone wants to express a lot of things, including the cruelty of war, the madness of war, and the reshaping of human nature by war, but the uniform force leads to no strength in any aspect and cannot shock the audience. In general, it is still A little thinner. So it's no surprise that it's Full Metal Jacket, not Platoon, that has been hailed as "the best Vietnam war movie ever made."
Another famous film about the Vietnam War is Apocalypse Now, but I haven't seen it yet. This film is said to have caused the great director Coppola to lose all his money, but as time goes by, more and more film critics applaud it, hoping to see it as soon as possible.

    People love to use justice and morality to measure war, but the occurrence of war and killing has already determined that all the rules in the normal world have been invalidated here. Like "Apocalypse Now", Stone's film is about the alienation and pain of human nature in war. The characters are very three-dimensional and complete, and everyone has the value and impression of existence. "There is no right or wrong only the stars, they just hang there."

Platoon quotes

  • Pvt. Gator Lerner: [to Rhah] You're weird, man.

  • [During the interrogation of a village chief after the platoon finds hidden weapons]

    Pvt. Gator Lerner: Says they had no choice. Says the NVA killed the old honcho when he said no. Now he says all the rice is theirs.

    Sgt. Barnes: Oh, bullshit, Lerner.
