Anyone wanting to know what the Vietnam experience was need only to watch Platoon ! No one could tell it better than Stone ! It was no doubt a catharsis for himself and those who were there ! The infighting between the juicers and heads , something that would seem insignificant to some war movies , made it so real , to myself and other vets ! It was incredibly hard to watch , and yet I watched it over and over ! Barber's Adagio haunts me to this day !
