Platoon (1986)

This morning I watched Platoon (1986). There was really no reason for me to watch it before now, before my book project. When it was released I was still very young. I was likely the same age as the little girl who gets raped by soldiers in the movie, so I'm glad I didn't see it earlier. It was written and directed by Oliver Stone, and I wonder if the working title was Why Men Should Never Be in Charge of Anything.

By the time my husband and I got to the theatre last night Hidden Figures was sold out, which was disappointing because I was looking forward to a story about women.
