Platoon is one of the greatest anti-war films of all time. It is a tale of God vs. Satan, and the war is there to set the backdrop.Platoon shows the Vietnam War was a big mistake, but by this movie being a fictional documentary on Vietnam it's for a purpose. The story is told from the point of view of Chris Taylor, played by Charlie Sheen, a kid who goes to Vietnam to do what he thinks is his patriotic duty.
