Interesting topic. I haven't seen it yet. I'm afraid that I'll sit and cry for about 3 hours. And for days after. It has gotten good reviews from those who were 'involved' in the conflict. I thought Platoon was a load of garbage. I loved Apocolypse Now, probably because it was so surreal, just like the real thing. I guess it's one of those movies where you had to be there, and wouldn't understand if you weren't. Maybe get me good and drunk sometime, and I'll go.
