Platoon 3

Seeing how much the war had affected these young men and women and how they were transformed into entirely different people was pretty shocking. I knew war was brutal but I totally forgot to take into account what toll it takes in civilian life. The movie was rather depressing because it shows promising young men being tortured by their mind and conscience. It showed America's bravest men snorting cocaine and mugging innocent people. But it sends a good message as well. Although it shows the hardships of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder it also shows how good direction and positive reinforcement can turn someones life around. So overall it was an eye-opening movie.
