🪡 🎥 #Platoon1986 — 1st Hollywood film to be written & directed by a Vietnam War veteran— #OliverStone
Platoon received critical acclaim for Stone's screenplay, cinematography & battle authenticity— some facts, clips about the harsh training & filming experience.
Every actor was required to complete a rigorous 2-3 week basic training program in the Philippines under the direction of military advisor Dale Dye. Oliver Stone—an actual former Vietnam veteran— demanded that the actors behaved like a real « #Platoon ».
Everyone on set started to despise Stone— apparently, this was Stone's goal—to subject the cast— as best as he could— to the horrors of war & obtain the most genuine performance.
