Platoon Movie Summary:
Platoon is a violent, dizzying, disorienting, brutally realistic depiction of the horror of war. The film’s narrator, Private Chris Taylor, is a patriotic young man who volunteered to fight in the Vietnamese War, but everything he knew and believed in before coming to Vietnam is challenged. I feel that this is Oliver Stone’s most personal and moving film.
