Did you decide because of the DirectTv commercial with him re-enacting Platoon?

You've never watched Platoon!?!?!?!?! WTH how is that possible. What are you like 15? Next you'll say you've never seen Full Metal Jacket either or Apocalypse Now!

Wow...that is a classic. I bet you will watch it a few more times in the future or whenever it is on

I have now seen all three. And no I'm twenty eight.

No but that is a funny a** commercial.

Ant.. you better have seen Red Dawn as well...

 

I think there should be a "required viewing" stipulation before being abke to register... perhaps a short movie quiz in multiple choice?

Every time I play paint ball I try to re-enact Elias's death somehow.

I bet you don't have your man card either hehe

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

Sorry guys but Full Metal Jacket , Apocalypse Now and Platoon are all little snap shots of events weaved together to provide 90% horse shit with 10% fact. Platoon would have you believe that most everyone was spaced out and stoned half the time. Just what the media likes to portray stoned, spaced out nam vets..... These Movies just reinforced the bs.

 

Funny thing is I was reading a study recently and it stated that for every legit vietnam vet there were 13 claiming to be....... Funny how 40 years later nobody was a protester......

Don't reenact scenes from platoon with charlie sheen!

Enough time has passed since seeing either of these movies, that a re-watch may be in order.

These movies are great for what they are...entertainment. If I wanted an education on the Vietnam War id watch a documentary. Anyone taking these movies as direct factual basis towards a period in time deserves to look like a** hats when they are corrected by their historical ignorance. However for entertainment value... they are great movies.

To the OP , what did you think of the film?

And superman can't fly.

The movie was good entertainment. Tells a sad story of how themain character changes as a product of his environment. As others have posted these movies are not history lessons. I was shocked at the list of actors. Top notch.
