And the Red queen's "Off with her head"

Platoon ,
I love this film I really do.
I saw it for the second time yesterday ,the first time must have been approximately 10 years ago.
Back then I saw it with my dad , without subtitles , the plot was a mystery ( as an 8 year old my english wasn't exactly good) but still the movie left an in-erasable impression. The death of Elias, it was quite shocking back then (and it still was now).

Now I re-watched it and understood it I have to say it's the best vietnam movie ever made ,
even better than full metal jacket ( being better than a kubrick movie , that's a marvelous achievement).
The great thing about it is the atmosphere, there is a full time tension, and a deep sense of pointlessness . this is accompanied with an amazingly fitting soundtrack : Adagio for strings










There is also the scene in the bunker, with the soldiers chilling and getting high, when you see it you'll wish you were there too.
Sgt. Elias blows smoke trough a gun with White rabbit playing on the background. As by magic Taylor's neck pain is gone , mine would be too in such a small place with that many drug gasses circulating :p.
Now hearing White rabbit got me into Jefferson airplane , they're amaaazing(hence the blogtitle).
So I went to buy "surrealistic pillows today , they're most famous lp(now cd).
I'm really getting into 60's music lately, it fits the weather and the season.
