Here are some things you might not have known about director Francis Ford. Paramount Home Entertainment We love the smell of facts in the morning. This is easily one of the best war films I've seen and winning Best Picture was fully justified. Martin Sheen stars in Apocalypse Now (1979). This was the turning point where actually the American side were perceived as the antagonists, clearly communicating with our inner moral compasses. A standout scene was the raiding of the Vietnamese village. The makeup effects were practical, the wounds and blown up limbs looked pretty damn realistic. Oliver Stone's direction was solid, very realistic and gritty. SheenRoast: Sheenpocalypse Now (Comedy Central) Charlie Sheen finds himself in the worst place in the world: cable television. Didn't help that his biggest battle was with nature.we're talking ants, leeches and other insects. His acting ability consisted of monotonous dialogue delivery and shouting, perhaps he was overpowered by the rest of the great cast? I don't know, just felt meh. Charlie Sheen however, didn't work for me. Willem Dafoe was easily the best performance, Tom Berenger was also decent and the heated chemistry between them was well conveyed. The majority of the characters were sufficiently developed and their personalities had charisma. This was a smart element to include within the plot, it was easier to establish character development and build some tension. Split between what is right and what is wrong, the moral implications of this war have taken effect on several soldiers as they question their choices. The question that this film raises is: who really is the enemy? You have the conflict of the war itself (America against Vietnam) but within the platoon is a conflict for authority. It's the Vietnam War, we follow a platoon of US soldiers as they attempt to wipe out the enemy. This is actually rather intelligent, both in its plot and technical execution. Platoon is so much more than just your average war film.
