Shockyourmonkey posted:Apocalypse Now is a movie set in Vietnam but no way is it a Vietnam War Movie. I think that Coppola said it was a metaphor for Vietnam, not a movie about it. My vote would go towards Platoon. A guy that has a cottage down the lake from my parents was a vet, and one time I was bullshitting with him and he said the Platoon was the most realistic, as pretty much every character in it was a spot on copy of at least one guy he knew over there.
