Year: 1986
Director: Oliver Stone
Reflections: The tagline of this film is "The first casualty of war is innocence." Duly noted. With brilliant performances from Sheen and Dafoe, Platoon takes viewers into the heart of Vietnam. Sheen plays a young solider who enlists with high ideals, but during his first deployment, his innocence is shattered as he comes face to face with the cold truths of war. His journey translates into what is arguably the most powerful war movie in American history.
