DVD Reviews of Anderson Platoon
DVD Review: A great video ruined by PC
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to be honest, it was all that I could do to sit through this updated video. The narrator should have simply used the original words of the French producer. Instead, it is full of PC crap. Why point out that this platoon is unique because the Platoon Leader is a black West Pointer? Duh! Who's not going to pick up on that? In the original, they simply showed him and stated the fact. Then they go into the platoon having Blacks, Native Americans, and Hispanics! Duh, again. Anyone with eyes can see that. It seems strange that they didn't mention that it also contained Whites. One of the things that made the original video so forceful was the narrator telling us at the beginning who was destined to be killed and wounded. Instead, it was left out for the PC stuff that modern documentaries think must be in there. One thing that really struck me in the original was the French director admitting that the war was started by France. An important point, left out in the updated version. Add to that, the switching around of scenes and the long lack of any narrative at some points and you get a pale imitation of the original award winning documentary. Don't take my word for it, watch the original on You Tube and then watch this lame-o version. May advice, stay away from this one unless you can find one of the originals.
