Platoon Script PLATOON SCRIPT BY OLIVER STONE (Oliver Stone - born 15 Sep 1946) (1986) Oliver Stone wrote the screen play for Platoon based upon his experiences as a US infantryman in Vietnam - this he did as a counter to the vision of the Vietnam War as portrayed in John Wayne's The Green Berets. (This material has been compiled from various unverified sources and accuracy has not been confirmed) (2011) CMG Archives http://campbellmgold.com --()-- 1 PLATOON FADE IN: A QUOTATION AGAINST A BLACK SCREEN: 'REJOICE, O YOUNG MAN, IN THY YOUTH ...' The sound now of a C-130 air cargo plane roaring over us and we cut sharply to: EXT. AIRSTRIP - BASE CAMP - VIETNAM - DAY As the C-130 coasts to a stop, the hatch rotating down on a hot, dusty lifeless airstrip somewhere in Vietnam. Nothing seems to live or move in the midday sun. TITLES RUN A DOZEN NEW RECRUITS step off the plane, unloading their duffel bags, looking around like only the new can look around, their hair regulation-clipped, crisp, new green fatigues fitting them like cardboard. CHRIS TAYLOR is just another one of them - as he turns into a tight close-up, to look at a motorized cart pulling up alongside ... He's about 21. Newmeat. His face, unburned yet by the sun, is tense, bewildered, innocent, eyes searching for the truth. They fall now on a heap of BODY BAGS in the back of the cart. Two soldiers begin loading them onto the plane. Flies - hundreds of flies - buzz around them, the only cue to their contents. GARDNER (next to Chris, Southern accent) That what I think it is? SOLDIER 1 (a look) I guess so ... An uncomfortable look between them. SARGENT Okay, let's go ... As they move out, Chris' eyes moving with the body bags being loaded onto the plane. Moving over now to a motley HALF DOZEN VETERANS bypassing them on their way to the plane. They look happy. Very happy, chatting it up. They pass the new boys - and they shake their heads, their eyes full of an almost mocking pity. VETERANS Well I'll be dipped in shit - new meat! Sorry bout that boys - 'sin loi' buddy ... you gonna love the Nam, man, for-fucking-ever. Chris looking at them. They pass, except for the last man who walks slower than the rest, a slight limp. His eyes fall on 2 Chris. They're frightening eyes, starved, hollow, sunken deep in his face, black and dangerous. The clammy pallor of malaria clings to him as he looks at Chris through decayed black teeth. Then the sun flares out on him and he's past. And Chris looks back. Disturbed. It's as if the man was not real. For a moment there. As if he were a ghost. Chris walking, duffel bag on the shoulder, looks up at the lollipop sun burning a hole through the sky. A rushing SOUND now. Of frightening intensity, an effect combining the blast of an airplane with the roar of a lion as we hard cut to: EXT. JUNGLE - SOMEWHERE IN VIETNAM - DAY The sun matches the intensity of the previous shot as we move down into thick green jungle. We hear the sound of MEN coming, a lot of men. The thwack of a machete. Brush being bulled. We wait. They are getting close. The CREDITS continue to run. SUBTITLE reads: December 1967 - Bravo Company, 25th Infantry Division - Somewhere near the Cambodian Border. A sweating white face comes into view. CHRIS - cutting point. Machete in one hand, whacking out a path for the platoon, M-16 in the other, he looks like he's on the verge of heat exhaustion. Breathing too hard, pacing himself all wrong, bumping into things, tripping, not quite falling, he looks pathetic here in the naturalness of the jungle. An urban transplant, slightly neurotic and getting more so. His rucksack is coming apart as well, about 70 badly packed pounds banging noisily. Behind him BARNES now comes, the Platoon Sergeant. Then the RTO, his radio man, humming lightly. Others are behind, the column snaking back deep into the brush. We cut around some FACES of the Platoon - all to be seen later. Young faces, hard and dirty after weeks in the field, exhausted yet alert, fatigues filthy, slept-in, torn, personalized, hair way past regulation length, medals, bandanas. A jungle army. Boys. Chris glancing down at his raw bleeding blisters. Transfers the machete to his other, slightly less blistered, hand. The kid cuts on - struggling but trying, on his last reserves of strength, smashing almost straight forward through brush, not even bothering to look ahead. He smells something, looks around, slows his pace, eyes working ... around to the base of a tree. He moves past it. And as he does so, the camera from his POV comes around on a dead decomposing 10-day-old GOOK - eyes starting from its sockets, worms and flies feasting. Chris draws his breath in, terrified. Barnes suddenly appears alongside, his hard humorless eyes looking annoyed from the gook 3 to Chris. BARNES What are you waiting for? He ain't gonna bite you. Move out. Chris looks at him with pent-up hatred and crashes on. EXT. PLATOON PC - DAY - MOVING At the COMPANY PC, CAPTAIN HARRIS on the radio. HARRIS Bravo Two, Six. What's the delay up there, move it out on point. We've got a link up at Phase Line Whiskey at One Eight Zero Zero, over. EXT. PLATOON PC - DAY - MOVING -- MORNING At the PLATOON PC, LIEUTENANT WOLFE sweats heavily as he speaks in his radio. He is also new to the field, a dark little feisty guy, about 24, very hairy, especially in the eyebrows, an intense get-ahead look. LIEUTENANT WOLFE Two Bravo, Two move it out. Six says we're jamming 'em up back there. Over. Barnes, upfront, turns to SAL, his radio man, under his breath. BARNES Tell that dipshit to get fucked. Get that other freshmeat up here. Gardner. As Barnes picks up his pace, irritated now at this reprimand from the CO - coming up on Chris, who is soaked now from head to foot in sweat, dizzy, feeling sick, about to vomit. BARNES (CONT'D) What the hell's the matter with you Taylor! You a sorry ass motherfucker. Fall back. He grabs Chris's machete out of his hand and bulls his way into the foliage, tearing it apart, setting a new pace. Chris being bypassed by the column, their eyes on him. He is swatting at the red ants that are all over his neck. GARDNER, another new recruit, fat, hustling up to replace him. A big and black medic - DOC - comes over, gentle eyes and manner; with him is Sergeant ELIAS, concerned. DOC You okay? CHRIS Ants. I got ants on my neck ... (shaking them out) DOC 4 (helping him) Yeah, black ants are killers, you look sick man. You need a little salt. (reaching into his satchel) Sergeant Elias, a handsome, graceful dark-haired Indian kid of 23, the squad sergeant, is taking items out of Chris' pack - air mattress, extra unnecessary clothing, extra canteens, grenades, gas mask, books. ELIAS (shaking his head, amused) You're humping way too much, troop, don't need half this shit. I'll haul it for you but next time you check it out with me okay? Chris nodding, grateful, panting. The men passing, watching. Chris sorry about this, trying to keep up face. BUNNY, a young 18 year-old with an angel's face, is pissing in the dead gook's face. KING passes, glances at him. KING You're a sick mother Bunny. Bunny laughing about it. Chris standing there one moment, fighting for his breath, suddenly passes out, going over with his 70 pound rucksack, hitting the ground with a loud bang. ELIAS (concerned) Hold it up. On Chris - his eyes opening. He seems all right. CHRIS (trying to get up) I'm okay ... I'm okay. Chris crumples backwards. Elias helps him. EXT. COMPANY PERIMETER #1 - DUSK The COMPANY - about 100 men who seem insignificant amid the size of the surrounding jungle - is digging into a perimeter of some 100-yard radius. A RESUPPLY CHOPPER lifts off in a flurry of blowing leaves. Bare-chested soldiers chop down trees, clear fields of fire, set out claymores, fill sandbags, chow down. Little fires snake up against the greying red horizon. EXT. COMPANY PERIMETER 31 - DOC'S POSITION - DUSK We cut close on a pair of grungy feet - the staple of the infantry - moving up to DOC, the Medic, bandaging them for FU SHENG, a Hawaiian kid. 5 EXT. COMPANY PERIMETER #1 - RHAH'S POSITION - DUSK Rhah sets his tripflare. Crawford, with him, putting out a claymore. EXT. COMPANY PERIMETER #1 - RODRIGUEZ - POSITION - DUSK Back in the perimeter RODRIGUEZ sets his M-60 in the newly dug foxhole. SAL, next to him, is shaving in his helmet. EXT. COMPANY PERIMETER #1 - KING'S POSITION - DUSK KING looks like a king. A lion of a black man but with a sleepy, gentle face, not to be roused, is painfully trying to scrawl a letter home with the pencil held awkwardly, mouthing the words. FRANCIS, a young baby-faced black with long lashes and soft eyes, peeks over his shoulder, shaking his head. FRANCIS Shit, King, it ain't d-e-r-e man, it's d-e-a-r, and Sara don't have no two r's in it, fool. Shame on you. King shrugs, a sleepy stoned voice.

Stereotypes and Economic Conditions of Poor Whites in the U.S. "White trash" is, in many ways, the white Other. When we think about race in the U.S., oftentimes we find ourselves constrained by cat- egories we've inherited from a kind of essentialist multiculturalism, or what we call "vulgar multiculturalism."^ Vulgar multiculturalism holds that racial and ethic groups are "authentically" and essentially differ- ent from each other, and that racism is a one-way street: it proceeds out of whiteness to subjugate non-whiteness, so that all racists are white and all victims of racism are non-white. Critical multiculturalism, as it has been articulated by theorists such as those in the Chicago Cultural Studies Group, is one example of a multiculturalism which tries to com- plicate and trouble the dogmatic ways vulgar multiculturalism has un- derstood race, gender, and class identities. "White trash" identity is one we believe a critical multiculturalism should address in order to further its project of re-examining the relationships between identity and social power. Unlike the "whiteness" of vulgar multiculturalism, the whiteness of "white trash" signals something other than privilege and social power.

  • La Violencia Sonora De Cannibal Corpse
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu La violencia sonora de Cannibal Corpse La agrupación de rock estadounidense debe su popularidad a la propaganda que reciben indirectamente por parte de quienes los atacan y los ayuda a vender millones de álbumes Publicado: Jueves 09 octubre 2008 | 12:07:22 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde AImage pesar not found de laor typeescasa unknown presencia de la banda en los medios, continúa su popularidad. A pesar de la escasa presencia de la banda en los medios, continúa su popularidad. Más de un lector de esta columna me ha abordado en algunos conciertos para solicitarme que escriba sobre Cannibal Corpse, una agrupación estadounidense que en nuestro país goza de gran popularidad entre los seguidores del metal. De inicio, me parece conveniente ubicar la corriente sonora en la que la aludida banda se desempeña, es decir, el death metal, un estilo caracterizado por la utilización de las voces guturales (nombradas en inglés growls), de marcada aspereza al emitirse y con bastante frecuencia incomprensibles. A lo anterior, únese un tiempo muy abrupto, el empleo de una batería en extremo rápida y un discurso en lo textual donde prevalece el anticristianismo, mensajes en relación con la muerte, la violencia explícita, la necrofilia, prácticas satánicas, los asesinos en serie y visiones en general apocalípticas. El origen de la corriente resulta polémico, pero el término como tal se usa por vez primera en 1984, cuando el grupo californiano Possessed edita un demo denominado Death metal. Si una agrupación ha logrado que el death resulte conocido a escala mundial, sin la menor discusión esa es Cannibal Corpse.

  • Junk Spanish, Coyert Racism, and the (Leaky) Boundary
    Pragmatics5:2.197 -212. InternationalPrasmatiqs Associaticln DOI: 10.1075/prag.5.2.07hil JUNK SPANISH,COYERT RACISM, AND THE (LEAKY) BOUNDARYBETWEEN PUBLTCAND PRIVATE SPHERES Jane H. Hill To attend to "constructinglanguages" and "constructingpublics" implicates two directions of thought. A constructionist perspective problematizes and de-naturalizesthe idea of "language,"and suggestshow the fragile textualityof our talk is the resultas much of ideologicalprocesses as of neurobiologicalconstraints. To considerthe constructionof "publics"draws linguistic anthropology in new directions.While the idea that the arenas in which opinions are formed and decisionsare made are the products of social work is not new (cf. Myers and Brenneis1984), "publics" suggests a particular kind of arena, Flabermas's([1962] 1991)"public sphere, ... a categoryof bourgeoissociety." The concept of "public sphere"exposes a new arena for our attention,distinct from the interactionalfield of the marketor the kin group,where peoplewho live in statesspeak "as citizens," with referenceto public affairs,yet not as agentsof the state. Habermasof course arguedthat the bourgeoispublic sphereflourished only ephemerallybefore it was capturedby the cultureindustry with its capacityto manufactureinauthentic "public opinion." Habermashas been much critized for his nostalgiccommitment to the freedomand rationalityof the bourgeoispublic sphere,as well as his neglectof the wayin whichit functionedas much to excludeas to include (cf. papersin Calhoun (ed.)1992; and Robbins(ed.) 1993).The conceptof "public"is, however,productive preciselybecause it sketchesin the broad outlinesof an important arena for the reproductionof exclusionsin contemporarysocieties. I do not usethe term "public"here, however, as a categoryof sociohistorical theoryin the way that Habermasattempts. Instead, I take "public"and "private"to designate"folk categories,"or, perhapsbetter, "ideologies,"for certain speakersof AmericanEnglish.
