Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth

Adagio for Strings- Platoon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxVkXj26qds


"I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we
fought ourselves - and the enemy was in us ... The war is over for
me now, but it will always be there - the rest of my days. As I
am sure Elias will be - fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called
possession of my soul ... There are times since I have felt like
the child born of those two fathers ... but be that as it may,
those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to
teach to others what we know and to try with what's left of our
lives to find a goodness and meaning to this life ..."

[Aristus]

1. Back when Charlie Sheen was young and charming, and had at least a little talent.

He's over. He's as dead as Sgt. Elias.

"Platoon" still holds up very well as a war film. In some ways even better than "Saving Private Ryan."

And 'Adagio For Strings'...well...it just makes me ache when I hear it...
