The film was a box office success upon its release, grossing $138.5 million domestically against its $6 million budget. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards at the 59th Academy Awards and won four including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Sound, and Best Film Editing.
Oliver Stone knew what needed to be said about Vietnam...this was it. This and The Deer Hunter were responsible on spreading awareness about the War and regain the respect Vietnam Vets deserved.
Vietnam veterans deserve the high most respect after coming back from hell on earth and being spit on by their home. My heart goes out to them, and this movie is perfect well made representation of the madness of war.
what do you mean respect deserved? it was an unjustified war, so many atrocities were committed... I am sure there were people there for the right reasons too, but how would you know who were the good ones?
In April 1967, Stone enlisted in the United States Army and requested combat duty in Vietnam. From September 27, 1967, to February 23, 1968, he served in Vietnam with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division and was twice wounded in action. He was then transferred to the 1st Cavalry Division participating in long-range reconnaissance patrols before being transferred again to drive for a motorized infantry unit of the division until November 1968. For his service, his military awards include the Bronze Star with "V" Device for valor, the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster to denote two awards, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, Sharpshooter Badge with Rifle Bar, Marksman Badge with Auto Rifle Bar, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with one Silver Service Star, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Unit Citation with Palm, two Overseas Service Bars, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge.[
War is hell and Vietnam was certainly no exception. This movie was as real as it gets. Oliver Stone served in Vietnam with the 9th Infanry Division in combat duty, he should know and Pat Dye as a movie advisor and also a Vietnam Veteran. I am now 78 yrs old and was 22 when I was there. I will never forget, it never goes away. Thanks to all my Vietnam Brothers and Sisters both living and deceased.
This is yet another awesome classic preserved by the National Film Registry as deemed culturally and historically significant. Great job by Oliver Stone in making this movie to counter the John Wayne Green Berets movie of the Vietnam war. Which this alongside Deer Hunter were to challenge and paint the Vietnam war with its harsh reality and the horrors it left veterans and being not a heroic war like WW2. The realism of the dangers and psychological damage this conflict inflicted on soldiers is well known and this movie leans toward it. Hence its critical acclaim. With good performances by William Dafoe, Charlie Sheen, and others. Despite the difficulties Stone ran into, he was able to achieve great acclaim and box office success with this. The guerrilla warfare of the Vietcong with the North Vietnamese left a bad mark. Tunnels, using the familiarity with terrain to their advantage, using discarded US and French military objects back at them, and the devious levels of different booby traps. From punji stake traps whether pit, mud ball swinging down, foot trap, bamboo whip traps. To explosive booby traps with land mines even tripped with booby traps when disarmed, law launcher tube filled with grenades that pour down when tripped, to even traps using animals like venomous snakes or wasp/hornet nests. And even soldiers were told not to be captured by the Vietcong. As the brutal torture and what they left your body like for your comrades is worse than death. As veterans said that if they are going to do that, they save one or two grenades to blow themselves up to save them the gruesome fate of being captured. Great movie to be done Carnage.❤️❤️
Taylor (Sheen) leaves his university studies to enlist in combat duty in Vietnam in 1967. Once he's on the ground in the middle of battle, his idealism fades. Infighting in his unit between Staff Sergeant Barnes (Berenger), who believes nearby villagers are harboring Viet Cong soldiers, and Sergeant Elias (Dafoe), who has a more sympathetic view of the locals, ends up pitting the soldiers against each other as well as against the enemy.
I remember wondering about that scene, when Sergeant O'Neil tossed that grenade (seemingly on purpose) over to that M-60 gunner, that wounded him. Did O'Neil have a grudge against him, and that was why he would want to "frag" that guy?
It's kind of a toss up. It could be like you said ,ie " fragging" or it can also show how incompetent he was. Some of the other soldiers had no respect for him in the movie and only obeyed him since he was a sergeant. Heck l, even King called him "super-lifer".
One thing I found frustrating on rewatches was how overplayed the main theme was. A truly haunting tune, yet it almost became a melodramatic punchline by the end of the film. They really should have played it once for greater impact.
@@juangarza3857 no they are all walking up a hill and these 2 have fallen down and are rolling down a hill. there are no signs of battle, no enemy nearby.
"You talk about killing. Any of y'all experts, hmmm? We I'd like to hear about potheads. You use this $hit so as to escape from reality? I ain't need none of this $hit. I am reality. You all loved Elias. Now I ain't got no fight when a man does what he's told. But when a man don't do what he's told the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down WE break down. And I ain't gonna allow that, from any of you."
I have a rough relationship with these kinds of films. One one hand, they bring much deserved awareness to the suffering of those had and still endure today for this country. On the other hand, it's based on real events and it's really flipping sad for me. Also sorry for avoiding the Marvel uploads, kinda on a strike with anything Disney.

A Sonic X Season 1 carnage count would be cool. But I just wanna say this movie is so brutal and the way they portray war real feels scarily real and Elias death felt sad yet symbiotic, such a good film
They are awesome combat movies along with Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. Coming Home and Deer Hunter were more about veterans back home and Apocalypse Now wasn't really a combat movie but a different take on Heart of Darkness
The scene where that one guy beats the hell out of that disabled man is so damn brutal.
I was happy when the soldier who did that get killed
Bunny
War makes you do unforgivable things. A brutal act that deserved a Courts Martial but you had a twisted NCO in charge in the movie.
Bunny was a real p.o.s.
@@macjeez1450idk if It was war that made him that way, maybe Bunny was the type of person to join just so he could kill people

Can't believe the green goblin was killing people before he even became the green goblin lol
Max Dillon: "God, I'm loving this."
You aint seen nothing yet.
And he's even wearing green as well!
Norman being a Vietnam war veteran actually explains why he was a bit unhinged even before the serum
And Captain Sparrow too lol.

At the 6:42 mark, cameo by director Oliver Stone. He is an officer and gets blown up by the suicidal enemy soldier running into the shelter.

Fun fact: the man on the phone who gets blown up by the suicide-grenadier at 6:43, is the writer and director of the film, Oliver Stone.
The Elias scene is heartbreaking
It's more heartbreaking when he appeared before his son in a mirror telling him to avenge him with the cool gadgets he built
Fun fact: This film was shot in the Philippines
Glad to see CC is picking up the reigns again! Great job!
Oh, and for anybody who was wondering, Lt. Wolf is killed at 6:55 just after Doc is killed.
Movie's got a great cast
Look how young William DeFoe looked 😳
He's 30+ in that
The top brutal kills of the movie:
Bunny killing the villager with SG butt
Villagers killed by Willie Pete (Nasty stuff)
Bunny himself
This movie is awesome. My favorite kill is Barnes's death.
"First time?"
I just realized both Green Goblins started that meme
Charlie Sheen has 13 kills
Tom Berenger has 9 kills
Willem Dafoe has 5 kills
Glad I saw this!
Dudes.
Carnage Count: “Alright the movie’s almost over. There shouldn’t be that many more bodies to count right?”
8:03
Carnage Count: 🤯
It counted two guys rolling down at the begining the hill as deaths
has no one noticed that Johnny Depp was there too
The film was released on December 19, 1986 in the United States and on March 18, 1987 in the Philippines.

Was it in this video?
@@Lancelot0311 It happened at about 1:10 in this video, but it doesn't show O'Neil tossing the grenade.
This movie won the Academy Award for best picture well deserved
use to have this movie on vhs... it's one of those type of movies that I don't get tired of..
Watch the film: Come & See (1985) it's BRUTAL.
One thing I found frustrating on rewatches was how overplayed the main theme was. A truly haunting tune, yet it almost became a melodramatic punchline by the end of the film. They really should have played it once for greater impact.
One of my all time favorite movies
You forgot the veterans who came back from that.....part of them died over there
PS: subbed!
Charlie, I ain't never seen BRAINS Before!
The first two guys just slip down the slope. They aren't dead.
There are dead
They are alive@@juangarza3857
@@juangarza3857how do you know?
@@juangarza3857 no they are all walking up a hill and these 2 have fallen down and are rolling down a hill. there are no signs of battle, no enemy nearby.
I said that, two guys fell that was it
When the machine breaks down we breakdown

One of my favorites!! Sgt. Barnes was such a asshole but man Tom Berenger did such a amazing job!!
The film stars Sheen, Berenger, Defoe, David, Whitaker, Dillon, and Depp.

"I'm something of a commando myself..."
Next one … maybe The Green Berets
It look really good and most of the scene is brutal
Can you Upload: Squid Game Season One (2021)
Do Angel Has Fallen. If you don't know it, it's the 3rd film after Olympus has Fallen & London Has Fallen.
Once the guy gets on the 60 in that first ambush scene it’s over
Sgt. Elias: Harry, Avenge Me Son! AVENGE ME!!!!

What a great movie to make into an NES game, said no one.
Platoon more like Splatoon
Please do Uncharted and the video games
So many people saying this was my father's experience. No, not really. Not everyone's dad did this. Tell them to stop the bull.

I'll see what I can do

what about the body bags in the opening scene

Never stop making these.
I wouldn’t mind the Film if they’d stop reusing the same “Adagio For Strings” track.

this depection, one of the best is positively pedestrian compared to the reality of the
Those two at the beginning simply fell.
I don’t think the first 2 were dead soldiers, i think they just fell from the rough terrain … maybe I’m wrong
Was Doc killed?
So this was Green Goblin's backstory....
Esa más que guerra fue un infierno en la tierra 😢😢😢
You know im something of a Rambo myself
The PIG that Bunny shot, should not count.

I always found Platoon to be highly overrated and preferred Hamburger Hill over it.
They are awesome combat movies along with Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. Coming Home and Deer Hunter were more about veterans back home and Apocalypse Now wasn't really a combat movie but a different take on Heart of Darkness

この映画、邦題は「プラトーン」となっていたが、実際の発音から言えば「プラトゥーン」が適切だな………野坂昭如が喜ぶタイトルはやめとけ！「ソ、ソ、ソクラテスかプラトンかぁ～！」これ知ってる人はかなり御高齢だよ。
Squid game
i think a few got counted twice.at.around 34.. dont mean to be picky...orry
It's all good, you are probably correct!
El sonido de Sonic es molesto y totalmente innecesario
Then I would recommend a different channel

I see some of the us soldier killing another us soldier why tho?
:30, not gonna count that one?
Norman?
Pera aí, tá contando os comunistas também?

Not very good to trivialize this. Think about it.
No way the first two died
