some idiots even say Shindler's List was accurate. Really? naked jewish men with 12 inch s walking around in sub zero temperatures?? don't act like you didn't notice
you're a ing moron koriwhat 2.0
says the dip who thinks Foster The People is better than Radiohead
Haha... Hurt Locker sucked so much.
What about the part when you see that er get blown up by the tank? It almost makes up for having to watch Tom Hanks the previous 2 hours.
True....also watching the overly stereotyped Jew get stabbed in the heart was entertaining.

I like to read books about Hollywood, cinema, etc. and from what I've Platoon is generally regarded as extremely accurate.get real mofos.
like Platton or Apocalypse Now are accurate???
and they are undeniably top 5 best war movies ever.
I thought There Will Be Blood was better from the very beginning, but I really don't have a problem with No Country For Old Men winning Best Picture. It's not as bad as The Hurt Locker beating out Inglorious Basterds and District 9.
yes especialy the part where Willem Dafoe takes 157 vietcong bullets in the back and is still raising his arms and screaming at the top of his lungs.
There should honestly be like a quota or a limit on the number of laughing emoticons people can use here per day.
Anyways...
Way to exaggerate. People have been shot multiple times before and still been able to run. Many have lived despite being shot a ton of times. Even if I was to concede that that one particular scene was unrealistic, most vets praised Platoon and said Stone really nailed what it was really like to be over there. From what I've read a lot of people said it was the first movie to really do that. Meanwhile Vets were so angry over Hurt Locker they hated the movie and wanted the main character to die.yes especialy the part where Willem Dafoe takes 157 vietcong bullets in the back and is still raising his arms and screaming at the top of his lungs.
The Hurt Locker received all of the Oscar hype for one reason and one reason only - The female director used to be married to James Cameron so it created a fascinating headline with those two competing against one another with Locker vs Avatar.
At best The Hurt Locker was a decent to good war movie, but was absolutely nothing special and definitely not worth all of the hype and awards it received. Maybe an Oscar nod or two for the editing and sound, but that's it. Also I'm a fan of Jeremy Renner, but even his acting was terribly overrated in this movie as well. Renners acting in "The Town" however was definitely worth his supporting actor nomination.
you cannot seriously compare Vietnam vets to Iraq vets. Just because they are both vets does not mean they think alike. Different war, different part of the world and different generation.
are you serious?
again, the only 100% realistic war movie is Johnny Got His Gun. The rest are all in the same group: Hollywood BS movies.
crofl, sad to say i never saw that movie until about a year ago, and that scene made me laugh so hard it was difficult to take the rest of the movie seriously. in Dafoe was hilarious in that over dramatic cry as he pleaded to the heavens for succoryes especialy the part where Willem Dafoe takes 157 vietcong bullets in the back and is still raising his arms and screaming at the top of his lungs.
rofl ragging on Platoon. You guys just confirmed you have ty taste in movies. That was only like the best scene in the whole film.
try to keep up.
Nobody is saying that Platoon sucked. Just pointing out to the "that's not accurate" nerds that just like Hurt Locker, it's full of Hollywood innacuracies.
Platoon's extremely accurate. My father served in Vietnam and he absolutely loved that movie. He certainly wasn't rooting for Charlie Sheen's character to die he hated it so much like it appears vets were rooting for Renner's character during this other movie.
yes. especially that Dafoe scene or the way Sheen's hair is perfectly combed throughout the entire movie
Look Platton might be pretty accurate. Still it's a Hollywood movie and will never make civilians understand the Vietnam war.
btw, black vietnam veterans have called Platton as being very innacurate on its portrayal of black soldiers.
This cheguevera guy was pretty touched by the Hurt Locker apparently.
not really. It's an ok movie. I did enjoy it tbh. But I probably give Avatar or District 9 the nod over it.
I just find funny the thinking of the nerds that say "that movie sucked cause it was not accurate. not accurate!"
it's ing hollywood
District 9 > Inglorious Basterds > Hurt Locker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Avatarnot really. It's an ok movie. I did enjoy it tbh. But I probably give Avatar or District 9 the nod over it.
