Die Dschungelkämpfe einer amerikanischen Infanterie-Einheit im Vietnamkrieg der Jahre 1967/68 - erlebt aus der persönlichen Perspektive eines unerfahrenen College-Studenten, der sich freiwillig zum Dienst gemeldet hat: Der Krieg soll ihn zum Mann machen! Regisseur und Autor Oliver Stone inszenierte - nach autobiografischen Erfahrungen - einen um schonungslose Realistik bemühten Antikriegsfilm, der das amerikanische "Vietnam-Trauma" erstmals in dieser Direktheit behandelte. Der sehr erfolg- und einflußreiche Film versucht, Kritik an der amerikanischen Kriegspolitik mit einer Heroisierung der gefallenen Opfer (freilich nur der amerikanischen!) zu verbinden - mit fragwürdigem Resultat. Gerade wegen dieser Widersprüche eine der interessantesten US-Produktionen der 1980er Jahre. - Ab 16. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)

weitere Extras: # Deleted & Extended Scenes (480p, 11:31): Chris' First Time, Love and Hate, Dream Sequence, No Regrets, When I Get Home, Look for a Target, Life of the Party, This New Guy, Later, and Barnes Lives. These scenes are available with optional Director's Commentary that primarily features Stone discussing how the scenes fit into his own Vietnam experiences. He also speaks over an alternate ending he wishes he had used in the final film. # Flashback to Platoon (480p, 48:38): This three-part feature (Snapshot in Time:1967-1968, Creating the 'Nam, and Raw Wounds: The Legacy of 'Platoon' offers a strong overview of the film and the war together as one. The piece begins by examining the time period in which the film takes place, looking at the changes in the war, the politics shaping the world that would in turn lead to the escalation in Vietnam (including the Tet Offensive), and the general difficulties in fighting the war with no clear objective in place. The middle piece examines the challenges of the filmmaking process and the need to paint a picture with as realistic a feel as possible. The piece features extensive cast and crew interviews. The final segment examines the picture's importance in the American healing process following the war, veterans's reaction to the picture, and who and what the characters embody. This is a very engrossing, informative, and well-edited piece. # One War, Many Stories (480p, 25:32): This first of two documentaries features Vietnam veterans reacting to a screening of the film, intercut with Director Oliver Stone speaking on the film and his war experiences. # Preparing for 'Nam (480p, 6:36): The second documentary features Stone and other veterans discussing their decisions to enlist in the military at the time of Vietnam, followed by a discussion of the rigors of military training. # Caputo & the 7th Fleet (480p, 1:36): The first of three included vignettes features Philip Caputo, author of A Rumor of War, recalling the 1975 evacuation of Saigon. # Dye Training Method (480p, 3:23): The second vignette features Platoon's military advisor discussing his techniques for preparing actors for their roles in military-themed films. # Gordon Gekko (480p, 1:06): The final vignette looks at how the name for Stone's Wall Street character Gordon Gekko was brainstormed during the making of Platoon.
