what made this movie great..is the narration monologue at the end... "In the end, we arent at war with the enemy.. we're at war with ourselves, good and evil.. i found myself a son born of 2 fathers, elias and barnes"
I think what the whole movie is trying to say about 'nam is that you had the rebel side(Elias) and the traditional military(Barnes). In the end barnes shoots Elias which ends up destroying the platoon( losing the war). This movie explains a lot and has many references if you look deep enough...
one of the best scenes in the movie, they actually did smoke weed before they did the scene according to willem dafoe, but this scene is a good example of people forgetting about the horrors of war and having a good time partying and being happy. platoon is one of the best movies ever in my opinion.
Wicked luv for this - my all-time fave scene of this movie, blows away all the reals of war even for one mind-blowing night - yeah pity we didnt get to see much of Depp in this scene nor the movie even, imagine having a j with Johnny oh! People forget or dont realise he is in this, but he's brilliant & we've watched him kick-ass since this.
in first is.... white rabbit - jefferson airplane.. and after is ... the track of my tears - smokey robinson and the miracle ....... i like this scene ...
Love this whole scene, I agree dion, best part of the movie - watched it 4 or 5 times in a row and saw a couple bloopers in the editing though. At 2:58, watch the character dancing with Charlie Sheen stomp on the foot of the guy behind him - pretty funny. Also, at 3:06 the guys are singing "if you look closer..." but its not the right part of the song.
ya he was a minor character like rhah played the role of big brother i liked bunny the most then ace because i like aces then rhah but charlie sheen kicks tom cruise and johnny depps asses
I liked the touch of humor before they start singing the tracks of my tears, it shows Junior and Bunny in the officers quarters talking about "smokin shit", and the background music was "We don't smoke marajuania."
platoon, the best war movie ever (sorry, apocalypse now fanboys)
