Review title: OLIVER'S REGIMENT
Product review: Oliver Stone has never been accused of being boring, at least to my recollection. In "Platoon" Stone has apparently crafted not only the definitive war movie of his generatiom, but also one of Hollywood's best films ever. I say "apparently" deliberately, knowing that non-combatants can never appreciate the full horror of warfare. Try telling the late Helen Keller how tough it must have been to be blind and deaf. You get the picture. Stone's movie literally explodes across the screen, with little time given to actor definition. Oh sure, Berenger and Dafoe stand out, but certainly not in the fashion of grabbing the limelight. War is a team effort, for better or worse, and one is drawn to the conclusion that the enemy is not always across the firing lines, one of Norman Mailer's themes in "The Naked and the Dead", circa 1950. In summary, one is definitely not entertained by this film. Perhaps, it's our animal instincts that keep drawing us back to it, sadly.
