Platoon (1986) Written and directed by Oliver Stone

• "You're gonna love the nam' man, for fucking ever"

• "What's the matter boy? He ain't gonna bite you. That's a good gook, good and dead."

• "Somebody once wrote: 'Hell is the impossibility of reason.' That's what this place feels like. Hell."

• "Death, what do you all know about death?"

• "Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to write. I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. The morale of the men is low, a civil war in the platoon. Half the men with Elias, half with Barnes. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other, when we should be fighting them."

• "I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but i will always be there, the rest of my days. As I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah calls "possesion of my soul." There are times since, I've felt like a child, born of those two fathers. But be that as it may, those who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with whats left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life."
