I don't know if you noticed this, but the guy playing the Captain is Dale Dye aka Col Sink in Band of Brothers. Dye was a Marine Corps veteran who founded a company to help improve the realism in war movies. Platoon was his first big project and he of course later helped with Band of Brothers and the Pacific.

2023-08-20 19:39:45 +0000 UTCI love this movie!! And I think it's a really great movie as well. I've seen it a couple of times though. The first time I saw it it was really tense and I couldn't really enjoy it as a movie because I was constantly wainting for someone to get shot or blown up. Couldn't really focus. The second and third time I got so much more out of it. (4 oscars in 1986. Best picture, director, sound and editing). Personally I thought the cinematography was especially great. And the score of course but the best piece of music (Adagio for Strings) wasn't written especially for the movie. Still a masterpiece. And I know most people laugh about Charlie Sheen nowadays...but back then man he was so good in this movie. Johnny Depp in one of his earliest roles, before he became famous. β€ Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger both killed it.
