The 10 most touching ‘war movies’ of all time – Don’t fail to see #10 (With Pictures)

5. Platoon (1986)

Soldiers are murderers

Twenty-five years ago, Oliver Stone directed “Platoon” as one of the most successful and best war movies about Vietnam, for which he also wrote the screenplay. The work was awarded with Oscars in the categories Film, Director, Editing and Sound.

“Platoon” illustrates the harsh reality of the Vietnam War on the example of the first somewhat naive soldier Chris Taylor. The final climax of the film is a devastating attack by the North Vietnamese People’s Army.

Oliver Stone shows the omnipresent death and soldiers, who seem to have lost all scruples . They kill not only the enemy fighters, but also civilians. Some try their reckless sexual urges to satisfy or endure the reality only through the use of drugs.
