Sweet accessory to the Seminal Classic

Platoon is one of the few handful of films that inspired me to become an actor. The intensity of the story and the potent mixture of the acting, music, cinematography and especially the direction hold up incredibly well to this day. I have a visceral memory of wanting to be part of something like that. If the various talents in this movie had not gone on to some amazing careers, it probably wouldn't have the same legacy that it does, but that speaks to the success of it. The casting and the direction was inspired. It's fun to see all these guys speak about their experience. It's heartwarming. I was curious why they didn't get Stone or Forest Whitaker though. Sometimes the shadow of who's not involved leaves an oversized cast. But this is a sweet documentary, obviously made with love about an amazing and important film.

Brilliant 10++

Platoon in my opinion is the greatest film ever, it also featured some incredible actors that have inspired many others in the film & television industry.

To sit back & watch 'Brothers in Arms' by Paul Sanchez simply takes you back to 1987 when the film was released. (Filmed in 1986). Seeing most of the actors 30 odd years later being interviewed about their experiences prior to filming was an amazing in-site to the film itself.

They discussed their 'bootcamp' in the jungle in the Phillipines. Many were genuinely struggling to move through the jungle & some of it was captured on film & showed in the final edit.

They talk about their down time when not filming & the fun they got up to at the resort they were staying at. The actors even started a band and played music during their time off.

Charlie Sheen does a fantastic job narrating this outstanding documentary.

Kudos to Paul Sanchez (Doc) & all the brothers that put this film together. You all should be very proud.

Looking forward to watching it again.
