In many war movies, involving civilians in the plot, most will have a similar plot: the soldier with the gun sees that it is a child, put down the gun and turn away! Suddenly there was a gunshot, and the soldier fell to the ground. The child held the gun and looked at the fallen soldier with indifference...

There is a similar plot in this movie. The recruit Taylor snatches out the Vietnamese girl who wants to be raped by other soldiers, and takes the girl away during the quarrel with other soldiers. If this girl takes advantage of Taylor's preparations , Drew a dagger from his body and stabbed Tyler to death. How conflicting the plot will be...

In the war, whether civilians, especially women and children should participate in the war, has always been controversial! On the one hand, they believe that as long as they are a member of the country, they should defend their homes and the country. Children’s participation will highlight the tragic nature of being oppressed by the aggressor. Big, sometimes it's counterproductive! It is the participation of children that makes the enemy behave against the civilians and violate the laws of war!

Personal opinion: Please let the children go away from the war!

    As a volunteer, Taylor gave up his university life and came to Vietnam. In front of him, the harsh environment and cruel war made him doubt his beliefs. What is the purpose of the war? Who benefits from the war? What can become our true faith?

    The perspective of a pure middle-class newcomer. Flash bomb night scene. The two fathers choose one. Oscar does seem to be more left...

Platoon quotes

  • Pvt. Gator Lerner: [to Rhah] You're weird, man.

  • [During the interrogation of a village chief after the platoon finds hidden weapons]

    Pvt. Gator Lerner: Says they had no choice. Says the NVA killed the old honcho when he said no. Now he says all the rice is theirs.

    Sgt. Barnes: Oh, bullshit, Lerner.
