Love how as the song gets more and more intense the further it shows Taylor going down the rabbithole himself. Starts out as a calm but unsettling atmosphere down to almost pure chaos and organization.
I was a 19 year old trooper during Tet 68 and served again from 70-71. This musical piece brings back memories. Thank God for my Drill Sergeants who were tough on us. Thanks why, I made the military a career and came out of retirement for Operation Desert Storm. Never regretted servicing my country and would gladly do it again.
The scene in this movie where Charlie Sheen is frozen to the spot when he detects a patrol is brilliant, I must have seen it 100 times and the it always gets me by surprise, the way the foliage conceals an enemy rifle muzzle, the way the enemy just materializes from out of nowhere. I know people always say Platoon is the best war movie, but I think it really is, very hard to watch, very raw.
This movie tells it all. The ravages of war. Our soldiers were only 18-19, some drafted, some didn’t want to go to VietNam. Others were eager to go to VNam. The scene where Kevin Dillion beats up the poor guy with his gun, than beats his head in. That’s horrible. Than the scene where the lady gets shot & killed while the little girl cries for her mama, & the husband is crying over his dead wife. That heart wrenching. Than the soldiers take the lil girls & rape them. That’s another horrid thing. War is not pretty. But this is actually what happened in VN. Show no mercy. For this political war, the Viet ashes ppl., we’re treated horribly wrong by both sides, the American troops, & the Viet Cong. If they didn’t cooperate, they killed families. Burned the villages. These scenes were just a few that actually happened. Both sides had no remorse. This is what Oliver Stone seen & went through. To kill & be killed. What the Viet cong did to some of our soldiers were even worst. This movie was just a tip of the ice berg. As you get older, you realize, the War is horrible for both sides. While back in American protests against the VN war was going on. Justice for humanity. No War. All the Wars our Americans went through is all horrid. From the time the Spaniards came to the America, to the Revolutionary War, nSpanish, WW 1: 2, Korean Conflict, to VNam, to Middle East War. And it’s still going on.
The part of this video that stands out to me is where the soldier returning from the fighting stares at Charlie Sheen knowing what he's about to go through. Well edited video!
Saw the chopper here, and for the first time in 50 years realised that the Vietcong won that war without any aircraft to speak of…would’ve been 100 times the casualties if they had
As it was, the Vietnamese lost over 1 MILLION dead, to America's loss of 53,000 troops ..... so much unnecessary bloodshed, and all because when Ho Chi Minh came to the U.S. seeking assistance in 1954, after they had ejected the French colonialists from their country, he couldn't even get a meeting with the lowest-ranking member of the U.S. House of Representatives. SO, as a last resort, he went to Russia for help.
The Vietcong lost. They were all smoked by the time the war ended except for a handful of em. NVA(Northern Vietnam Army) were the forces to end the war. They were the ones who had tanks, anti aircraft, and jets. But in the end no one really won. 10% of Vietnam’s population died in this war.
VietNam was such a horrific debacle, and so many courageous Americans answered their country's call and did what they were ordered to do. And the Hell that ensued, on both sides, was horrific. As it was, the Vietnamese lost over 1 MILLION dead, to America's loss of 53,000 troops ..... so much unnecessary bloodshed, and all because when Ho Chi Minh came to the U.S. seeking assistance in 1954, after they had ejected the French colonialists from their country, he couldn't even get a meeting with the lowest-ranking member of the U.S. House of Representatives. SO, as a last resort, he went to Russia for help.
It’s not just the death toll. The wounds that were treated to prevent death left many casualties. My father had a “recoverable” wound but was not the same man.
You do know there were two Vietnams.....the North had the choice to leave the South alone. They chose the blood and guts option, and got plenty of it. In the end they won, but a lot died in the process. So there's a lot more to it than the old "bad America went and attacked good Vietnam".
@@RS-rj5sh NOTE that what caused the war was the South refusing to live by an agreement to hold a nation-wide election ...."From 1954 to 1975 Vietnam was divided into two countries, North Vietnam (the Democratic Republic of Vietnam) and South Vietnam (the Republic of Vietnam). After its defeat at Bien Dien Phu, France signed an independence agreement with the victorious Viet Minh in Geneva. Vietnam would be divided by a demilitarised zone (the DMZ), with the French withdrawing their forces from Vietnam north of the zone and the Viet Minh withdrawing their forces from the south. An associated declaration stated that after the troop withdrawals an election would be held for the reunification of the country. This provision was never agreed to by the South Vietnamese or the United States, and the reunification election was not held. South Vietnam had been effectively independent since May 1954, and Ngo Dinh Diem declared it a republic after he became president through a questionable election in 1955. South Vietnam was heavily backed by the US, which saw it as a bulwark against communism. Before long Diem's authoritarian regime was challenged by local communists, backed by the regime in North Vietnam." from teara.govt.nz/en/map/34536/the-two-vietnams
When this movie came out, I watched it. Went straight to my ex-husband, a Nam vet, and told him not to watch it. I hope he listened. Nam really messed his head up. He was told he would be killing fighting age men. He was killing teenage boys around fourteen years old. He was around 20 years old and doing this. Alcoholic most of his life. Died at 63 years old from a heart attack.
My ex husband was about 20 when he was sent to Somalia during the Black Hawk Down event. He wasn't in that but said the Somali were all kids. The men were stealing all of the aid being delivered and kids were protecting those men. His family told me often how nice he was before that year. I met him a year later and that nice guy was only around until we got married. No drugs or alcohol but that man would rage like there was. We were long divorced before I understood that his family was likely telling the truth about it changing him.
@@KakiKaki-vj7qy I see. Good point. I thought maybe you've never heard of them but I forgot how iconic those two movies are so there's no way you don't. My bad 😅
The landmark 10-minute hot-pursuit sequence featuring Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang GT vs. the Dodge Charger R/T won the Academy Award [(for Best Cinematography)] in 1968's "Bullitt."
Most of the massacres and rapes in vietnam did not happen on the scale that they did at My Lai. There are a lot of film clips about that, and most of the massacres were on a lesser scale, but they did happen. Young men with assault weapons are a deadly combination. One time I was talking to a man who had been in vietnam in saiagon , and he said the whole thing was so sensless. On any given night the soldiers were so drunk or or so ;high they didn't know what they were doing.
Lemme quote my big booming E-8 about Vietnam. "We didnt do any good over there." Lemme quote my small, quiet, Ranger battalion E-6 about Vietnam when I asked him why he always looked so introspective. "I done too much damage." War ain't cool.

essa canção foi feita nos anos 60 e simplesmente é uma alusão à Guerra do Vietnam.... basta ouvir a letra com atenção... ela fala sobre a morte de soldados norte americanos e a perda da guerra.... Alice é o Recrutador para a guerra... a Rainha Vermelha era Ho Chi Minh e os Guerrilheiros Vietcong.... está lá tudo na canção... depois foi aproveitada para vários outros Filmes de ficção que não tem nada a ver... também nós em Angola, na Guerra Colonial de 1961 a 1975 usavamos droga, a "Liamba" para tentar esquecer-nos do medo que tinhamos e poder enfrentar na mata os Guerrilheiros do MPLA... já nesse tempo ouviamos esta canção e muitos de nós Portugueses também previamos que perderiamos a guerra.... e assim aconteceu....
I have watched platoon to the point I can recite the movie. The one scene i can't watch is where they beat the kid to death. The movie platoon and we were soldiers . Lt General Hal More and Joe Calloway brought home the soldiers and family and how they had to deal with it.
Went in August 1977 I was 17 most drill instructor's had not long left the jungle they were mad bitter but they were precise in their training that's what makes an American soldier
This reminds me when my Mother searched my purse in the 70's and held a large gel filled pill in her hand. What's this? A vitamin. She popped it into her mouth and swallowed it. 750mg Placidyl.!
Love how as the song gets more and more intense the further it shows Taylor going down the rabbithole himself. Starts out as a calm but unsettling atmosphere down to almost pure chaos and organization.
During the filming of that scene, marijuana was smoked by the actors on the set. The next morning, they felt terrible from the day before.
“Chaos and organization” is an oxymoron

You are the BEST!
Thank you from England I am 75 and thank you for your service
As someone born in 1950, I 100% agree with whoever said 'Nam had the best soundtrack of any war yet fought.
My brother came home in a body bag from the Vietnam war at the age of 31. He was a medic. His name was John. 💔❤️
Tut mir sehr leid. Mein herzliches Beileid aus Deutschland 😢
damn.
I'm so sorry.❤
And God bless & keep Him.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family. I lost my brother at Ripcord in 1970. Screamin' Eagles.
Thanks to ALL VETS who served in this war.
The average American doesn't deserve your service and sacrifice.
Class of "68" U.S. Army
Same here...1966-1968 US Army....stationed in Germany for 20 months...combat engr, battalion..drafted
The soldier staring back at sheen on the runway was like the angel of death staring him down and saying "welcome to hell"
It juxtaposed soldiers rotating out vs in… brilliant!
This was truly amazing, Platoon is one of the greatest films of all time.
Thank you dude you did a great job on this.
Terrible memories. Great music.

This was an amazing movie and soundtrack especially for people outside America that never knew what happening during the war
A part peut être les français et la légion étrangère, quand ça s'appelait l'indochine.
The guy rotating out eyeballing Sheen was classic.
You gonna love the Nam.....Forever
The mix of movie clip and an amazing song, WOW
God bless all the brothers and sisters who fought in this ugly ass war u will never ever be forgotten
Unbelievable song and movie! ❤
Watched this in 1987 in Honolulu while assigned to 25th ID. Pretty cool film.
This is a great video!

これほど完成度の高い戦争映画を知らない。監督自身の経験があってこそだろう。ベトナム戦争映画であればディア・ハンターやカジュアリティーズのような名作も多いがその中でも群を抜いている。
Full Metal Jacket? Apocalypse Now?
@@NotyourtypicalFaiz その映画の監督の二人とも世界的に有名で、日本でも知られている監督ですが。

Yes. Australia also fought in Vietnam.
This was so awesome, but I think you should’ve put in Barnes with his red eyes.
nope. that doesn't match the song at all, nor any part of it.
