Klayton Von Kluge Yeah, both nominated, but lost to Michael Caine for Hannah and Her Sisters.

@@drlee2 oh ok, ty man..

@Jay Ess lol... I can think of better ones to play that part; evidently, so could Stone and others close to the film, because he wasn't who they originally wanted, so I've heard!

lipoto so much loaded into that scene. Like to think its a metaphor for how we are all in this hell and have different ways of dealing with it, and some like to think their way is the right way and forgeting how it closely mirrors what they consider to be wrong. If that makes any sense. Its in there somewhere.

MisfitPunish3r makes a lot of sense to some

Hey, Jack Daniels is good shit.

I think something I just realized on rewatching. When he points out he's "all here by his lonesome" "6 of you boys against me" Those sound macho and arrogant. But his delivery of "Kill me." It sounds like a request. I think some part of Barnes hates himself for what he's done and become. He's drunk, depressed, and for a moment goes to those he knows hate him to provoke and seek death. It's half braggadocio. Half plea for release.

Kamikaze pilots used to drink before their deeds too.

He did one hell of a job playing General Longstreet, as well.

During war need some one like him in platoon. Vietnam turn him into monster. He knew death was coming to him.

sick in the head are those who listen to rap and try to emulate rappists.

Underrated classic tom berenger movie is shoot to kill.

Yep, he seemed to get tired and empty inside to that point...

He wanted to be gone of his guilt. He said he was Reality. Reality was he killed Elias and they are smoking to escape. So they no nothing of death cant even kill a guilty man.

He wanted them to try. One did try but succeeded later when he was telling him to

@@justiceready8689 By the way, he got drunk to escape the reality as well

During Vietnam there was a real divide between the regular enlisted and the lifers. It was hell for those doing the fighting, they all needed downtime so you have your two vices: 1) weed and/or 2) alcohol. One was acceptable back in the world (the US) and the other was slowly being stigmatized as evil and a drug of corruption. That bled over into army policy and so inevitably all the lifers would stick to alcohol and not touch marijuana because it would look bad for their career if reported. Meanwhile the non-lifers who hated being there used weed as an escapism, and if they got written up and reported the worse that would happen is busted down a rank. They could be threatened with jail time but what good would that do? It took time to build an infantryman out of a civilian, and more time to bust their cherry and functional during battle in Vietnam. Eventually their time would come up and they would cycle out and some new private would come take their place that would have to get all trained up again. Barnes understood all this and while he hated the potheads he would ultimately rather have a trained platoon of potheads on patrol with him than a bunch of clean nosed privates. It was the best chances they had of survival and winning the war. Barnes himself was also something of a rarity in Vietnam. A lot of lifers didn't stay on the front lines that long. They'd do six months and then try their best to get transferred to a rear echelon unit (REMF). There they could say they did their time in combat and now had a cushy job in the rear that they could continue their career without putting their life at risk. Versus guys like Barnes and Elias who had no such intention, their home was on the front lines and for whatever their reason that's where they would remain. And that was the situation Barnes found himself in. Despite being nearly irreplaceable he and Elias were rivals and saw the world differently, despite that Elias was an invaluable soldier (a veteran based off an LRRP soldier Oliver Stone knew) and a man that Barnes knew he would never again find in Vietnam. But after the village Elias became a liability to how Barnes felt the platoon needed to be ran, and he could no longer look the other way. Still that didn't mean he respected Elias any less and when the potheads didn't attack him when he challenged them in this scene (them knowing that Barnes fragged Elias in the field) it enraged Barnes. They should attack him. If they didn't attack him and try to get some payback how can he trust them to do what needed to be done in combat? In that sense when Chris Taylor did attack him, Barnes knew that while he would have to keep an eye on Taylor in the future he was still an effective soldier. But like Elias, when did that reliability no longer become an asset but a danger to Barnes' vision of how the platoon should be run? Barnes made the cold calculation that while Taylor wanted to kill him the platoon needed him if they were going to survive, especially now without Elias around. And it was the right judgment by Barnes given how Taylor reacted against the overwhelming NVA assault at the film's climax. While other guys were running or hiding Taylor not only stayed in the fight but inspired others to stay put and fight as well. But ultimately with the losses the platoon took it would need to be sent back to the rear and be rebuilt. Which meant the platoon wouldn't need Barnes, and Taylor was able to finally avenge Elias. A gut wrenching scene in a movie that many vets of Vietnam consider to be the most accurate depiction of what it was like in a GI infantry platoon during that war.

😂😂😂

Like, two years later.

Dreams happen son

Three times, to boot.

Yeah ! - how'd they miss that? - great marketing opportunity !

good but Scarface has its measure for Jack Daniels commercial on a humour level.

Lmfao

If I'd seen and done what Barnes has done I'd wanna die too.

MasterVideoStudios -- Barnes had the balls to do the job. That’s it. Is the war.

Fabricio JiuJitsu He killed his own soldier foh

"do it"

Likewise.

Stephanie Rednour he was escaping "reality"

no shit..kinda talking out of both sides of his mouth right

Jon Stewart essentially he made Elias squad made up as the more sympathetic characters and Barnes and his men as the villains who were more psychotic and ruthless

Scott Knode i caught my teenage son and his friends smoking weed this past weekend in the back barn..saw a cloud coming from the barn..then it hid me and I knew...i walked up on them..scared the shit out of them..i asked them where they got it..they all started mumbling...i said.."Id like to hear about it pot heads...it was awesome...

JD is reality. :)

Terrence Howard damn right man

fuckin' A right

This guy (Berenger) was so underused, or just plain misused IMO (think 'Major League') Even "Sniper" was too tame for him; some writer with "the knack" for darker scenes could have easily cast a war picture or some other action/drama around T. Berenger, and made a compelling, arresting film against which 99.999% of other similar flicks would have paled.... now, hes most likely older , and lost looks and that edge . such a shame....

Spoken like a true power tripping freak. Dude needed a bat to the skull. Glad he got it in the end. These were all excuses he gave to kill him. Convincing not only them but himself

We still have a choice, to be positive, to be the change we want to see in the world!

Nice analogy, makes a lot of sense 👍🏻

Thank you dr. freud

you'd think he of all people could do with a joint

@@RobTheViking There was an alternative version of that scene where Chris doesn’t kill Barnes and walks away. Barnes breaks down crying and begging him to come back and kill him.

@@RobTheViking it’s on the extras section of the dvd.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service

So sad to hear this. I truly appreciate you and all the other vets that served in Vietnam.

That line sums up the U.S., and life in general nowadays.

Thank you for your service long love the marine corps

But he takes a puff...

Its still hypocritical and stupid how he says those hippies are trying to escape reality through weed while he himself is always drinking as a means of escape. He ain't different, and he ain't any more man.

@@theintunity Hey, I could be wrong. But either way, its still a badass scene. Barnes was as respectable an antagonist as Elias was likeable as a protagonist. Helluva movie.

And he was right about that. I quit weed once and for all when I was about 28, but i still hit the liquor, the wine, the beer.

@@igorgajic8346 Same here, last I smoked weed was in my early 30's, I'm 46 now. I don't miss it one bit, I prefer to have a cold bottle of beer.

What y'all know about pelts?

@@videogamer4500 lol

I don't remember Berenger talking about pelts every other sentence.

source?

@@videogamer4500 HAHA

Supporting Actor. I think Sheen was the lead actor.

John Doe Bang on and i'm an Elias fan. Gave you thumb up not for best scene but your wording of Barnes. Guy makes me think.

I absolutely love how you phrased this.

Well written, Ser.

.....easily far & away the most riveting scene, not only in this flick, but most war films... I often wonder, if Berenger had a bit of "the drop" to "get into character" ...

Well said

jert opp Can’t imagine being any other way.

I have had severe paranoia just from being stoned by myself in my bedroom at 2 a.m.

It's the same as being hungover and high anywhere else

Its often the reality though In Afghanistan they love their smoko, white and green

@@StarfieldRailway that must be some good shyt lol

r u kidding me!? this is THE performance all subsequent dramatic actors will aspire to and can quote word for word! I wish i had a dollar for every actor who used this as inspiration!!! amazing performance, Tom B. WAS Barnes.....

@@klaytonvonkluge4905 Absolutely Man..I mean pause this scene perfectly at 2:57 - 2:58 and just look at Barne's psychotic eyes. Talk about perfect casting.

@@negtype13 Berenger OWNED THIS... he *WAS BARNES* for those scenes!! This was in my top-5 scenes , bar none... Perfect. I use this in my mind to stoke myself up for sh!t I don't wanna do, lol!!!

I feel the supporting actors all did great too, for the "most" part.... Extraordinary leading men need extraordinary support... The young man playing Rah and Keith David, (and Sheen, to some extent) really aided the character build up & support, IMHO

Then they get wrecked.

I am become death. Lord Shiva the destroyer of worlds.

Look at how many of our vets end up taking their own lives. That’s what “becoming death” really is.

@@rokyericksonroks Facts.

he's a right winger, very pro-reagan, he refused to shill for lefty causes and they put a hit on his career.

He let himself get typecasted

He was good in ensemble pieces like this but I don't think he ever had a hit as a lead male star and that probably held him back in the studio's eyes.

@@Averyofthemainnot true… he has many more amazing roles throughout his career…

@@byranwitherspoon5369 Are you slow? Eat a bad pear when you were a kid? What exactly do you consider an 'amazing' role? the bit heavy in sliver, the secondary heavy in Inception. getting a hit put out on your career does not mean you never work again, you'll always have friends who can give an occasional job. And this from him and, of all people, Ron Howard (I believe it was him that confirmed it in Variety). His pro-Reagan politics stopped his rise dead, shrunk his asking price and kept him, more or less, out of the award circuit. That's what a hit is.

I'd take both, but bourbon and Marlboros are cheaper

Buddy holly everyday....

Um, aren't both of those things a part of reality? I'm inclined to just get high and let everyone beat eachother to death at this point.

He's the whiskey too dummy

Lol!

@Cat Lover jaws 4. Sir Michael's best work. 🤣🤣🤣

Which is why those so called award ceremonies shouldn't be taken seriously.

Wow! What an absolute joke.

I don't even know what the hell "Hannah and her Sisters" is lol.

I think that having Dafoe also nominated in best supporting actor that year didnt help Berenger's cause. And for what it's worth, Caine was terrific in HAHTS. Comedy is rarely recognized by the academy.

They said all they used was glue for his face

@@Gerickmb I see that

When Tom Berenger finished filming, he immediately took the makeup off. Because the glue makeup was uncomfortable and tingling.

The human psyche can break at any time from large or even relatively small amounts of trauma. Completely varied and unpredictable unlike any other animal on the planet.

@@prestongarvey5786 one term chump cupcake.

you guys don't understand that by 1968 at least American were killing each other over the question of whether we should be involved in Vietnam's war, while in American homes, children were divided against their parents over the war, this is an exposition of the very palpable moral quandary of the war as it affected this particular group of grunts. Lifers never understood that the war was wrong. "No two men fight in the same war, and no two men fight for the same country".

But unlike SSG Barnes, COL Kurtz became remorseful because he realized he got so far in darkness and in blood that he was unable to come back to reality. His death at the hands of CPT Willard was his own personal deliverance.

Rambo says basically the same, if wanna survive war, you have to become war yourself. Accept the dark fate, can't stay clean in something so intrinsicly dirty.

The only differences between Barnes and Elias are Morality & Boundaries. Elias was just as much of a Badass as Barnes he just wasn't Dark side like Barnes.

@@davisworth5114 why was the war "wrong?"

I think Barnes' speech always bothered me because it can be twisted by so-called "patriots" over here in the USA who love to chant their stupid little slogans whenever the U.S. marches off to war to kill people --- Barnes speech should be a cold-blooded warning to ALL people who wish to engage in war --- it's a losing proposition even if you win, because your very human soul is lost to the forces of evil

They were all high man

@@necaman8787 drugs are bad mkay

I didn't - I couldn't ever understand a thing he was saying.

K M it’s Rhah

bob hobby Rhah is one of Elias men in tent smoking pot and is giving the position of Platoon Sergeant of Elias team at end of movie after Elias is killed. He is one that tells Barnes not to kill Chris as he is an enlisted man and could face more time in prison for killing an enlisted man. Rhah is also one gives Chris pointers while smoking pot and tells Chris only one who can Barnes is Barnes after Chris says should frag Barnes for murder of Elias.

Rah...RIP

BAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Especially when you are fighting unwinnable wars like in Vietnam or Afghanistan. Maybe even Iraq to some extent. It's debatable on wether America "won" the Iraqi insurgency

Reminds me of what an Iraq War veteran would say to bunch of 20-something Millenials on board a Marine helicopter headed to a combat zone LOL

Something tells me he wanted to die

@@RaulGarfias guy is willing to do what is necessary, narcissists are inherently insecure and abuse other for attention/egostroking lol

@@reynaldoflores4522 Agreed. Perhaps he never intended to really murder the guy, but because of selfish reasons (he obviously doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison, or to be executed). But with a guy like that, you never know, so that’s why imo the dude that convinced him to stop was very clever. You don’t try to convince him with ethics, but by appealing to his selfishness (and quickly before things get out of control).

@@joshuareingold3466 I found it very well written and very enjoyable, but mind you I was 15-16 years old back then. The book was definitely written for an adult audience. Dale Dye is an exceptional author and really puts you into the shoes of all the characters (he's also the actor who calls in the napalm strike in the movie's final battle). I recommend you check it out, and also his other novel "Citadel", which I thought was even better.
