Platoon

"Platoon"
Grace Fogel
Platoon, directed by Oliver Stone, is based off of the true events of the Vienam War. The movie accurately depicts the violence and attacks that occurred. There were scenes that were shown that involved the people of Viatnam (civilians) that were abused and that was a historical accuracy. The attacks were also correct in how they were operated and carried out. The film follows two different characters within different platoons, hence the movie's title. Both of which show two different perspectives of war.
All characters did a good job at playing their roles. The sound quality was acceptional and the picture quality was adequate. The movie contains a lot of harsh language and violence. I mean it is a war movie. Due to harsh references and harder concepts to grasp I would not recommend this film for children. It is rated R and I would give this movie 1.5 out of 5 stars. I was not particularly fond of the film mostly because I don't enjoy that many war movies.
