Here is the full reaction to this movie.

Oliver stone served in Nam and made a whole trilogy that includes Born on the 4th of July and Heaven & Earth. Would recommend seeing the other two for sure!

2023-09-07 23:27:27 +0000 UTCWell obviously, as the noble Japanese in the Co-Prosperity Sphere were much more humane and civilized than those cowboy Yanks in Vietnam! [Yes, that was sarcasm (:eyeroll:), definitely not directed at Shawn or even particularly at the movies.]

2023-09-06 19:38:19 +0000 UTCPlatoon’s probably the most raw Vietnam film- one of the very few where you see Americans committing war crimes. Apocalypse Now is a dark but in a more stylised way where as platoon feels very real.

2023-09-06 09:58:22 +0000 UTCCassie, I get the feeling that after this it will be a long time before you watch Apocalypse Now, but I don't think you'll find that movie nearly as difficult emotionally as Full Metal Jacket and Platoon were. War movies always have rough scenes, but overall Apocalypse Now isn't really trying to drive home the same message as this, and is less concerned with what seemed to bother you so much about these movies. I predict you won't be anywhere near as traumatized by it as you were with these other two.

2023-09-06 07:34:23 +0000 UTCJoyeux Noel is one that you need to watch based on true events in WWI. It is a perfect December watch

2023-09-06 05:48:05 +0000 UTCIf you want to watch a war movie of the less grueling kind, I will again recommend Their Finest (2016). It's a British movie that didn't get enough attention over here. It's about people living through The Blitz (i.e. the bombings) in London while trying to make an inspiring propaganda film about the miracle of Dunkirk. It's definitely a drama, but it includes a lot of comic relief at the expense of the movie business and it will entertain you instead of eating at your soul the way Platoon does.

2023-09-06 01:00:19 +0000 UTCWasn't it Rhett Butler(Clark Gable) whom said "Frankly My Dear I Don't Give a Damn!"..Not much changes for the best,just flip flops from one generation to the next.✌😎
Celeste McAllister
2023-09-06 00:58:57 +0000 UTCCeleste, what was it Clark Gable said, about war, in GWTW? Something about a waste, or destroying what it protects? Ironically, things haven't changed that much, even to this day. Sad!!......🤔

2023-09-06 00:31:24 +0000 UTCCassie, great reaction as always. I knew you would have a hard time with some of the scenes.

2023-09-05 23:51:16 +0000 UTCGreat job, I so rarely get to watch premiers as they happen! Platoon is a movie I watched in college many times. I had relatives there and in college I made friends with vets who served there. On more than three occasions I had vets tell me the movie was so real it felt like a flashback and I watched one veteran break down and collapse during a battle scene when the voice track was Vietnamese language battle cries. The movie is very intense especially if you are sensitive to the suffering of others and it is based on real life letters home. My eldest sisters husband spent two years over there and my oldest brother only avoided the draft by marrying and having a child as he graduated high school making him exempt.

2023-09-05 22:09:36 +0000 UTCNever saw Hot Shots but I heard it has humor in the same vein as Airplane.
