Believe it or not, that's what we were aiming for. I wanted to create the same feeling I had after leaving the movie Platoon.

"'Platoon.' I just think the end is really classy. I just thought it was a really beautifully put together film. "And 'Platoon' has got -- with the exception unfortunately of Charlie Sheen, everybody else in it is dope. Every actor and every character that I need as an English guy [is there]. You know what I mean? Every accent, class, creed, color, and religion is in there for me, so it’s a study book. It was something that had a taste across America [from] working class to upper class. It just had everything in it. "Plus, it’s the ’60s and ’70s, and it was a conscript Army, so it was an Everyman film."
