Platoon - Willem Dafoe's Iconic Death Scene - Heartbreaking!

submitted by gwaan

1 decade 7 years 1 month 1 week ago

Platoon is an award winning 1986 Vietnam war film written and directed by Oliver Stone and starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, and Willem Dafoe. Johnny Depp also plays a small role. The story is loosely based on Stone's experiences as an Army combat infantryman in Vietnam and was written by him upon his return as a counter to the vision of the war portrayed in John Wayne's The Green Berets. The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1986.

Haha - I've just realised that I've posted a clip from a really badly dubbed German version of Platoon. I'm gonna wait and see if this gets any votes before I decide whether to discard or not...

Yar ! das n goud idea

Those were the times when action / war movies didn´t came with closeups of wounds, exploding bodies, missing arms and legs and all that gore stuff. and it was also very moving. what has happened that every kids-rated movie nowadays has to show excessive violence, fountains of blood etc.? obviously it also works without that stuff...

I was immediately wondering why I didn't remember a German guy in Platoon when I realized it's all German, and then I saw your comment.

I watched this when I was in the first grade... didnt say a word during the who movie.
