Platoon is one of the greatest anti-war films of all time. It is a tale of God vs. Satan, and the war is there to set the backdrop.Platoon shows the Vietnam War was a big mistake, but by this movie being a fictional documentary on Vietnam it's for a purpose. The story is told from the point of view of Chris Taylor, played by Charlie Sheen, a kid who goes to Vietnam to do what he thinks is his patriotic duty. Chris is shown in the jungle, struggling just to survive in the natural environment. Two of the soldiers. Elias and Chris are efficient soldiers fighting the same enemy, but really they are fighting for the souls of the platoon members.

A killing took place in a village, where the soldiers find no VC, but they do find VC weapons. The inhumanity of certain soldierswas unbelievable

because

they were able to look on a woman's face after she sees her son killed in front her. This type of behavior was not acceptable by some of the soldier, meanwhile, the fate of the platoon comes closer.
