the one with kinohttps://youtu.be/FypuvXmyGFQ
>>198573337Platoon. Written and directed by a vet. Love AN of course and enjoy FMJ very much.
>>198573361>>198573407FMJ is fucking garbage.
>>198573497You'd need one if you were ever in the shit but you would never be because you'd fake a disability or flee abroad
>>198574184WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS?!
If you're answer isn't Apoc Now, your retarded.
>>198574248>your retarded
>>198574269ESL
>>198574170Platoon followed up with Born on the 4th of July
>>198573337Apocalypse Now>Full Metal Jacket>PlatoonPlatoon comes off pretentious with Dafoe as some christ figure, but the grounded stuff showing Charlie Sheen as a rookie is fine.
>>198573337apocalypse now. nothing even comes close in any aspect.>setting>soundtrack>peformances>cinematographyit went way deeper than FMJ with it's themes. the unpreparedness of american soldiers, the weakness inherent to seeking comfort in a warzone, the hipocrisy of 'humane' war, all the lunacy of it.plus there's an occult theme i still have not cracked despite all these years. something like an initiation but very esotheric.
>>198574184I'm going to unscrew your head and shit down your neck
>>198574317Barnes as the devil, Chris in the middle with them fighting for possession of his soul. It's called high art without losing any of the grit or realism. Highest order kino. Platoon and Wall Street qualify Stone as a genius.
Apocalypse Now > Full Metal Jacket >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PlatoonCharlie Sheen is a horrible actor.
>>198574248It was good but it was more so one mans story and a rogue Colonel. It's too bad Marlon Brando was in his no fucks given phase but they made his shots work.
>>198574396one man's story that perfectly encapsulated everything wrong about the war and why it made no sense.brando still gave a memorable peformance and i fucking despite the guy.
>>198574184Did your parents have any children that lived?
>>198574435I get it but Hamburger Hill achieved that perspective and Platoons perspective simultaneously. So maybe it's the greatest. Brando looked like a fat fuck in some shots it kinda took you out of the moment.
>>198573337Deer hunter
>>198573337Is the Deer Hunter worth watching?
>>198573337Rank them however you want; as long as you remember that none of them come close to these three
>>198574549That movie took its sweet ass time to get to the point but it was good.
>>198573337Apocalypse Now is the most kino. Full Metal Jacket is the most entertaining. Platoon is a middle ground.
>>198574553It's good but it starts out very very slow. You gotta power through like half of it.
>>198574553You can scroll /tv/ for the first 50 minutes; until you see the wedding scene.
>>198574549There it is. People filtered by the first half are turboplebs.
>>198573337Deer Hunter is better than all of these three.
Platoon is the most rewatchable IMO. Apocalypse Now is great but by design it's exhausting to watch.
>>198573337
>>198574738the name is too uncool or id watch it
>>198573337FULL... METAL... JACKET.
>>198573337Platoon is the best of those three. FMJ drops off a fucking cliff after basic training and Apoc is pretentious meandering filth. Platoon tells a story with a as satisfying an ending as you can get in a nam film.
>>198573337Coming Home.
>>198573337Hot Shots! Part Deux
>>198574956it's 2 hours of fags rolling around in the mud and screaming
>smart feels>sappy feels>nihilism LMAO
>>198575135Nah that was this movie
>>198573337Vietnam was 100x more kino than WW2.The best "War on Terror" kino is yet to be made.
>>198573378Better than Platoon, but not either of the other two.
.
I've noticed that classic war movies bring out the worst takes on /tv/. Check the other Apocalypse Now thread from today. Beyond lack of taste, it's complete lack of understanding. Wild.
>>198574956It refers to getting minced by bombs and guns.
>>198574376plus Charlie Sheen don't surf.
>>198573337Kubrick is the GOAT director.
>>198573337AN > FMJ > P
FMJ is the worst
>>198573337The Deer Hunter obviously
>>198573337Watched Platoon the other day and while it’s good it doesn’t feel as epic as Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse Now was.
Platoon at least had this gem of a songhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=Kvthte6XkUA
>>198573337All three of them kind of suck, but at least FMJ has R Lee Ermey busting everyone's balls in the first part and that was worth a laugh.
>>198574184Is that you John Wayne?
>>198578505Platoon was not meant to be epic
