Hey, how is it going?

Another busy week, right??


This is a war film
and a very important one!

A platoon is a group
of soldiers
!

Until Platoon, war movies
in America only showed
war as something adventurous.

The Americans never did
anything wrong in these
films. They were always
the heroes.

The movies were entirely
unrealistic. This film was
very controversial when
it came out.

This was the first film
to show the real
dirty side
of war!!!

The film was directed
by Oliver Stone,
(オリバー・ストーン) one of
America's best. He had
been in Vietnam and
made the movie
about what he saw!!!



*adventurous: 冒険的な
 unrealistic: 非現実的な
 controversial: 物議を醸す(かもす)



Trailer





Plot

This film follows a young man
sent to Vietnam. He is very
young and naive about the
ways of war. He soon learns that
he has two very different leaders.
One is hard and insensitive and the
other (Elias) is open minded to the ways
of the world and understands
that the Vietnamese are human beings.
This comes into conflict with the
other leaders who take their
fear out on the young soldiers
and the common people of
Vietnam. His example keeps
the hope of humanity alive
映画 Platoon プラトーン_f0212156_12514771.jpginside those few soldiers
that still believe.





この映画はベトナムへ送り込まれた青年を追っていく。
とても若く、戦争のあり方についてうぶな青年だが、
すぐに2種類のリーダーがいることを学ぶ。
一人はとても厳しく無神経だが、もう一人のエライアスは心が広く、
敵も人間であることを理解していた。
やがてこの違うタイプのリーダー二人は対立していくことになる。
そして、自身の恐怖を、若い兵士たちやベトナムの一般人たちにぶつける
他のリーダー達とも対立していくのだった。
エライアスの存在は、人間らしさを信じる兵士たちの心に、
希望を抱き続けさせるものだった。








Willem Dafoe
映画 Platoon プラトーン_f0212156_12355529.jpg
ウィレム・デフォー (エライアス役)

Willem has been in
many movies since
the early 80's. He is
an actor trained in
the theater and he
continues to do theater
in New York City. He has
his own company called
"The Wooster Group."




The Climactic Scene

In this Scene, the bad
leader has shot Elias
and left him for dead
in the jungle. From the
helicopter Elias is
seen running out
of the jungle
. It is
obvious that the
bad leader has lied
and Elias is left alone.



This scene is the most
famous from this film.
The images combined
with the music have made
this one of the most
memorable in film history.
It symbolizes the absurdity
of war
. The loss of innocence
and the unfeeling tragedy
of war itself.

All the soldiers that
have died in wars
are symbolized as
Elias holds his hands
up as to say "why?"
and "help" in the
same moment.




*symbolize: 象徴する
 absurdity: 不条理
 innocence: 無垢(むく)
 tragedy: 悲劇
