That makes more sense now. I had strong agreement with you regarding the Platoon. Amazingly though, a similar music used to great effect in Gallipoli did not rub me the wrong way - I am talking of course about the use of the two famous adagios in those two films - Barmer in the Platoon and Ablinoni in Gallipoli. Is it simply the fact that the Gallipoli was first, or rather the difference is in the quality of the overall work? I do consider the Platoon a very weak film, a speculation and opportunistic piece, really, and the Gallipoli, while not a breakthrough film, an honest and touching, even if naively, quiet masterpiece.
