actually platoon is very original, not the story obviously, but many of the situations that are in the film. its the first war movie that made the american soldiers out to be just as big of savages and to be just as evil as the gooks. and its the only war movie (along with paths of glory) to portray war as a tragedy instead of an adventure.

A lot of war movies have portrayed it as ugliness instead of an adventure.
By the way, I don't think you should use the term 'gooks'.

i didnt say it was the only one, i said it was teh first. and no other war movie has been as accurate in its depiction of the battles and situations. i have several uncles who were in the war in many of the same situations, and all of them agree that its the most realistic war movie ever, not to mention practically everything that happens in the movie happened to oliver stone while he was in the war.

in a nutshell platoon created almost all of the cliches that were used in the newer war movies such as saving private ryan and thin red line.

Thin Red Line isn't remotely like Platoon. Not at all. And you can't put Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan in the same sentence saying that they copied something; they are entriely different films.

yeah, i guess you're right, considering platoons good while saving private ryan and thin red line are bad.

Hmm
But really, Thin Red Line is a whole different deal from SPR, and I canb't see how it copies Platoon at all. Especially as the original considerably pre-dates Platoon.

Pearl Harbour
Iknow theres probably other threads about this but I saw it last night for the first time and it's easily the worst film I've ever seen. Most vomit inducing line was when one character said "Sir, I think World War II has just started!"
Didn't he watch Pathe News? It actually started in 1939.
Oh, and Ben Affleck is a waste of space. I hope other people agree with me on these matters.
