Based lunatic. If they'd all been more like him we would've won in Nam
They were filled with them hence the rampant war crimes.
There's no such thing as a warcrime against communists.
You think children are communists? Yikes.
>war crimes
communists aren’t people therefore no crime was committed
>be sent to war
>but noooo you must not actually do war things!!
Look, don't blame the soldiers. Blame the government that tried to fight a war with the same strategy you have of fighting your little brother.
> like them politicians in Washington trying to fight this war with one hand tied around their balls.
I'll blame both.
Because you’re a cheese dick

lmao the US had all sorts of psychopaths going around killing at their leisure. Why the frick do you think the Vietnamese were fighting so hard to get the US out of their country? Turns out IRL it's pretty hard for a satanic nation of self interested animals to overcome an oppressed people yearning for freedom.
>commit atrocities against innocent largely apolitical peasants

Lunatics like him are exactly why the US lost.
You couldn’t be more wrong
Go watch some more daily wire videos, Black person.
When I was a kid I would constantly beat my younger brother. I mean I really laid into the poor fella, black and blue. When my second brother was born, and I was tasked with babysitting, I would tie the toddler to a chair just so he wouldn't squirm (might have given him autism).
Dreamt of becoming a motorcycle cop or mounted police so I could beat football hooligans like a medieval knight.
I used to shove traffic light beggars with my car and motorcycle, force the homeless to bathe in aqueducts, severed the pinky fingers of juvenile 'gopniks' with wire cutters (yakuza joke).
Get this, once pissed all over some butthole's parents as he cried. There was an episode when I forced a teenager to suck some drunk bum's wiener so that he could have 'a taste of prison' lmao.
Ultimately, I ended up getting a record because of such pranks. The military registration office wanted nothing to do with me. Furthermore, can't work in the ministry of internal affairs. Bummer. I mostly 'hurt' evil people.
P.S. I later got my record wiped clean so I could immigrate (rich father). Clean slate.
Barnes did nothing wrong
>I am reality
underrated
nice
Shiiiiiieeeeettttttt
Moralgay btfo!
>Y'all know about killin?
Well I've seen a little on Cinemaphile
>talkin’ bout ragebans? y’all experts? i’d like to hear about it newbies
Its still so funny to me that they were fighting over whether they should kill Barnes or if Barnes even killed Elias while Barnes is less than 15 feet away in the same room. Well within earshot.
He didn't give a frick. Hell, he probably thought it'd make them better soldiers to have that impulse in them.
It’s kino anon, very kino.
literally HOW was he the bad guy?
Bad guy? Who said he was bad?
I don't smoke to escape reality. I smoked to chill my crazy brain.
Hi Elias. Next time just let Barnes do his thing and don’t be such a moralistic idiot.
Team Elias posters. Where are my Barnes alcoholics at?
I don't need to post. I am this board.
>Well here I am, all by my lonesome and aint nobody gonna know. Six of you jannies against me. Ban me
Both?
it's not your brain that's crazy, reality has made your brain crazy and you run from it. barnes was right about everything
>delivers an outstanding performance that earns him an oscar nomination
>90% of his filmography is absolute shit
Did he just stop giving a shit? He was pretty entertaining in rough riders, but he stared in so much absolute shit, I just can't understand why
have a nice day. Tom Berenger makes everything he’s in kino.
I do like his movies, but a lot of them are shlock, Substitute is kino but it's an absolutley insane movie with an insane premise. I just don't understand how he didn't get another big role after Platoon being relativley early in his career
Because hes unironically racist and only took rolls where he shot browns.
Watch his interviews. He is always saying he doesn’t like the hollywood sphere and fame that comes with acting. He’s too based for hollywood. He turned down the main role in Pretty Woman because of it.
Major League was a pretty big role. Mostly B movies and smaller roles after that though. Surprised he's still working.
He had that neo-Nazi one, too.
which one?
Betrayed. Lotsa K(ino)-listers in it. Debra Winger, Ted Levine, John Heard, John Mahoney.
What’s with Tom and playing racist characters
art imitating life i guess
checked
got moar of these?
Imagine being a self-respecting white man working in Hollywood for decades surrounded by the most loxist and obnoxious israelites on Earth. I'm sure it isn't hard to pretend like he's a neo-Nazi
Why did he do it
he is a neo nazi
It just hit me that Sheen and Berenger reunite for Major League 1 and 2 after Platoon. Makes me wonder if one of them helped the other get the gig
Berenger and Dafoe also reunited in Bad Country
Just checked it out
>Budget: $6.7M
Concerning. Do you recommend it? If so I will give it a chance
It’s alright. I’d say watch it for the hell of it. Berenger was kino as always
Probably refused to suck studio wiener.
I'm a bit of both and as shit as now is I'm glad I missed out on Nam. Every vet story I've ever heard about it is nightmare fuel with bits of getting wasted and banging prostitutes because you're gonna die anyway mixed in.
Both Sniper and The Substitute are are Barnes but if he survived
Good movies though
Just rewatched Sniper, it's so fricking good. Considering checking out the sequels but I suspect there will be a massive quality drop
LMAO exactly my thoughts watching both movies. In my mind the substitute is a sequel to the alternative ending of platoon.
>Tom Berenger playing a nam veteran with a facial scar
Bad Country also works I guess.
He was good in sniper
>Verification not required
Because there's no such thing as a "good actor". Actor's success or failure in a movie relies totally on the skill of the director. A good director can make even the shittiest actor look fantastic in a role. There's never ever been a single badly directed movie that was made great or even good by an actor's performance. The greatest actors in history couldn't make a Zac Synder movie watchable (to anyone with an IQ above room temperature).
>A director may just as well cast prime Richard Harris, Marlon Brando or your drunk uncle. Same result
>Anyone who liked Watchmen has below room temperature IQ
>Can't even spell Zack Snyder's name
Quite a post
troony post
I wish I had some pot to escape reality. Frick this gay earth.
😀
I love you anon
Why is he smiling? 20 minutes ago they were hating and cursing each other
Because he was expecting a asiatic and because Barnes smiled at him.
>Smiling
He was pointing his gun right at him
The gun was lowered
actually my mistake, he was still pointing but he did stop looking down the sights.
Is it possible Elias would’ve dropped the allegations against Barnes if he had just saved him instead of shooting him and leaving him for dead?
Naw, Elias is too much of a moralgay. Honestly though it would probably have blown over and been dropped anyways because no one had time for that shit. The only reason My Lai got out was because several different moralgays observed and reported it, and one guy consistently kept bringing it up and trying to expose it even after the Military had basically covered it up. There were probably hundreds of incidents like in Platoon that got reported and covered up because the Army couldn't afford bad press.
>moralgay
>voluntary still fighting in nam
What the frick was his problem?
>the hippies were the moral ones
That’s what Oliver Stone wanted us to think…yes
>voluntarily
IIRC there was a deleted scene where Elias reveals he ran away to Cali, fell in with some drug using hippie girl, got caught, and got the option of join the Army or go to prison.
Nah, he did time for it. The druggie b***h called the cops on him. He didn’t want to go back home because there was nothing for him there
I see, must have misremembered.
At any rate it wasn't uncommon in the 60s for Judges to pull the "time or service" verdict.
I think one of the blacks said that or that might be me being raycist again.
I wonder if they give him more backstory in the novel. I know they do with sgt Barnes
Also Elias missed the killing i think. He likely would have ran over sooner if he saw what happened. Some of the platoon would have told the truth, but some would have lied including the lieutenant. Elias may have let it go or likely just not been successful. Doesn't stop Barnes from being paranoid and angry at Elias in general.
Because Elias thought it was another asiatic at first and then saw it was a "friendly." Whatever differences they may have had, they were still both part of the Platoon, and thus a kind of dysfunctional family. Elias never suspected Barnes to be capable of murdering another member of the Platoon in that way.
It makes the scene more impactful because it's such a betrayal.
The heat and steamy lust of battlefield passions is stronger than a little fragging
Uh… what?
🙂
>GET OUTTA THERE
You a homosexual, Taylor?
Lmao, that dog is like: "what's going on?"
What dog breed is this? I want one
that is a texan
Cute
Barnes is the only sane one there. what does Barnes say
>If the machine breaks down we break down
he's trying to save his men's lives. Elias and especially Chris are will to frick everybody over some kind of bullshit morality.
it's fricking war
if I had to kill every every last asiatic villager I would if it meant it hurt the enemy.
T.Bunny
let's do the whole village
Who is the best platoon character and why is it bunny?
For me it’s Barnes, Bunny and Ace.
you need a Bunny on the team to do the shit that needs to be done. at least he enjoys it
Underrated
why did he do it
The asiatic was laughing at him! That's the way the asiatic laughs
Did they really need to show him raping some villager?
You some kind of homosexual?
> You’re hanging out with Audie Murphy here
What was his problem?
>A 19 year old with a gun
What did you expect
Back then he probably would have been diagnosed as a Sociopath (someone who doesn't feel empathy), but that term isn't really used today because it's kind of misleading. People we would call Sociopaths actually do feel empathy, but they for whatever reason they feel enjoyment and even sexual gratification from the suffering and pain of others. These are the kinds of people who often become serial killers or violent criminals. The vast majority of people with sociopathic tendencies don't actually ever act on them that far though. A scary percentage of the population is probably some level of sociopathic but would never admit it. In many ways civilization is basically one giant attempt to curb and control those tendencies.
Anyways, you take someone with that kind of pathology (enjoyment of inflicting suffering) and put them in a situation where they can hurt, maim, kill, and otherwise let them loose on people, and they go wild like a kid in a fricking candy shop. Often it's a power thing, and these people, who were repressed and felt powerless to act on these impulses in private life, are now in a situation where they can exercise power and violence over others with no repercussions.
Bunny's problem is he's a troubled youth with sociopathic tendencies let loose in an environment where no one is going to stop him acting on his worst and most violent impulses, and he likes it.
Medically speaking was bunny more fricked in the head than barnes
There was absolutely nothing wrong with Barnes. He was right about everything
Yes.
Barnes is brutal, but he's pragmatic. Barnes' whole ethos is about being as brutal as possible in order to keep his Men alive. He doesn't actually enjoy killing or hurting people, it's just something that has to be done to keep his Men alive.
Bunny actually enjoys killing and hurting people, and probably would have severe issues if returned to civilian life. If Bunny had survived and been discharged he almost certainly would have ended up either dead or in prison in civilian life.
I doubt Barnes would adjust well with civilian life too though
He would have issues likely, but he has more of a chance than Bunny. Barnes would be more likely to be a life long alcoholic, and he would have what today would be classified as PTSD and probably some other mental issues. If Barnes becomes a criminal, it's because of socio-economic factors, not because he actually enjoys violence.
Sociopaths understand that their behavior is wrong, they just don't care. Often they have very poor impulse control, regardless of intelligence. For example most serial killers understand from an objective standpoint that their murders are wrong, but they literally could not fight the impulse to be violent. In particular intelligent serial killers, when asked about what should be done with people like them, almost universally say either death or prison because if let into the world they WILL eventually kill again.
>Barnes becomes a criminal, it's because of socio-economic factors, not because he actually enjoys violence.
I don’t remember Barnes being black, anon
?si=yFiT213X_s6dzAJE
Nah. Bunny himself said he only got off from killing people because he could get away with it. He knows damn well half the shit he did doesn’t fly in the real world. He might be a little shit but he’s not stupid
Victory
Is he the superior dillon?
It's close but I believe he is
what other kinos is kevin in?
I recommend Stag (1997), he plays a memorable character as does Andrew McCarthy
Junior was talking shit
He likes to do what he wants.
The Lt. wasn’t impressed with his beer can trick
This was a really good movie. Too bad its 36 hours runtime.
You kidding? It’s not long enough!
That's what she said!
Carlos!
You’re thinking of Apocalypse Now
This was a scene from Apoc Now. Am I wrong?
No it’s from tropic thunder
Yeah yeah. Frick off all of you.

Predator, actually.
I get high and play (classic) Doom wads and enthuse myself in the bloodlust
he used to look old to me, now he looks young.
life's fast
isn’t he supposed to be in his late 20s?
dunno, he always seemed like he was 40 before, now he looks in his 20s, maybe not even late.
he’s definitely in his twenties. sergeants in nam were young
thought he was 37
How do you respond not sounding mad
It's true, you are reality and we want to escape from you. Now frick off
DON'T DO IT ANON! Three day ban you get for responding to offtopic posts, three days you'll be resetting the router. Don't do it.
Pfft. Router resets? What do you all know about dynamic IPs
That's pretty good, but also pretty reddit so I'm conflicted

Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes
Soldiers. He's hiding the cherry. It's more relevant at night but he's just doing it out of habit now
> He's hiding the cherry
>Still blowing smoke
???
I guess using a filter would be optimal but I never saw guys do that, however when I was in the military I observed people smoking that way and when deployed I had someone show me how to hide the cherry. Never saw anyone use a filter but it makes sense that the enemy could potentially still smell you
I suppose for cinematography purposes they had him look cool blowing mad smoke

>Hey janny, take a break. You don’t have to be a prick every day of your life yknow

This is the complete opposite of what Sergeant Barnes was
i dont think a model soldier would frag his own squad leader like that, guy was a dumbass
> self defence is for dumbasses
HOLY DIGITS
There was a First Sergeant in my squad in florida phase of Ranger school. He called me Elias.
Did he also have cool scars?
he was a cool salty old dude, had a tattoo of some asian chick on his arm from when he was stationed in Korea. They took it a little easier on him because he was the oldest and highest ranking guy in the class, but he kept up and pulled his weight regardless.
Was lots of fun constantly quoting Platoon/Apocalypse Now/FMJ throughout Ranger school. He called me Elias because I would carry the weaklings extra gear when they were falling out.
did he kill you in a jungle during a patrol?
Did you two get into a physical altercation in some remote vietnamese village?
