It's the name of a
movie made by 'Oliver
Stone' in 1986. I would say, it's a fine piece of art. Rated 8.
1 stars on IMDb, which i would call underrated.
Example
1: Platoon is a fucking great movie. Don't you fucking agree? (Idiot, don't question that)
Example 2: If you don't know the movie Platoon you can go fuck yourself. (Genius)
Example 3: You ask me what Platoon means as a word?
Dude, it's a name of a movie end of story. (
Moron)
