I had forgotten almost everything about Platoon. I think the first, and probably only time I saw that movie I was so emotionally wrecked by it that I had blocked much of it out of my mind. But when I read that narrative I remembered seeing it as vividly as though it was yesterday, the beautiful soundtrack in the background, the wrenching fear, tears streaming down my face... I think that it really was some great writing.

This isn't exactly "Ah-ha" worthy, but in Apollo 13, when the Gene Kranz character, played by Ed Harris says "Failure is not an Option!", I just loved that.
