Its pretty painfull to see Elias smile at Barnes even though they had huge fights between em, despite all that Elias sees him as an ally and its just sad to see him go like this

Seeing Elias’s expression change close up makes the hairs on my neck stand up. What a brilliant portrayal of Elias’s realization that he’s going to die.

When your mate said he will go offline only to appear in another match..

Friendly fire will not be tolerated.

Barnes was a friggin coward. He was jealous that the platoon preferred Elias and he was scared that Elias would eventually expose his attempt at killing an innocent child. Total POS. Kills his own Soldier in cold blood. He also hated that Elias was not scared of him like the others were. The funny thing is, When Elias first sees him, he smiles at Barnes, first happy to see it was one of his own. You almost get the impressions that Elias was going to forget the child incident and move on But Barnes was a monster that should not have been there. His time for war was over. He was more of a problem than a solution. Elias at least brought a sense of balance and humanity to the troops. Barnes made them want to kill each other. Been in the Army almost 35 years now and counting, and there is NO place for people like Barnes.

You can't do this to me, I started this platoon. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED!?

I felt so bad for Elias in this scene.

For those calling this "friendly fire," you are mistaken. Friendly fire is unintentional fire. This is simply called murder. Punishable by death itself.

Willem Dafoe is such a great actor so is Tom Berenger

I just watched this movie for the first time, and man I gotta say, Elias was my favorite. Seeing him getting betrayed broke my heart and made me feel so bad for him.

1:19 Has to be one of the best shot scenes in movie history. What an absolute masterpiece of cinematography. Not a word spoken but the expression and shot captured all emotion and embodied the very essence of the battle between Elias (good) and Barnes (evil). 👏

1:09 Such a wholesome smile R.I.P. Sgt. Elias

"Don't tell Harry."

He knew he’d turn into Green Goblin one day so he had to take action

1:15 You know I’m something of a Soldier myself

1:08 - You could see the love in Elias. Even expressing it to Barnes. Even though him and Barnes were at war, Elias still had a love for Barnes. What made ‘Elias...Elias...’

The details, whether intended or not, is amazing. Elias' tactical reload, and Barne's car15 smoking from the handguard indicates that the weapon is still somewhat warm after sustained combat with the VCs. And Taylor's handling of the weapon and the environment shows he is now a seasoned soldier. He is clearly influenced by Elias more so than Barnes, because both Taylor and Elias have their rifle slings removed(no sling, no unnecessary squeaks and noise in the jungle) but Barnes still has it attached on his.

The fact that even though Elias had a massive hatred for Barnes, he still smiled knowing that Barnes was still a brother.

0:41 that reload is so satisfying for some reason

It shows Elias was willing to bury the hatchet and probably wasn’t going to report Barnes, but Barnes was too far gone at this point. Elias didn’t like Barnes, but in his mind: ‘Barnes was Barnes’. Even though he knew Barnes was a bad guy, he didn’t think he would step over the line and shoot him.

0:42 That Was The Smoothest Reload I’ve Ever Seen

.....The reality, how can you face the enemy and kill after killing your own?

Lol every one says it’s so unrealistic how he didn’t die from the original shots, when they tested it and shot a ballistic jell exactly where Elias was shot, 1st shot grazed the left kidney, the 2nd went through the left lung (but did not collapse it) and the 3rd past right by his kidney, So yes he could have survived and ran to the helicopter before he bled out 5.5/6 are known for their lack of stopping power

When I'm having a shitty day and feel like my life sucks I put this movie on and it reminds me that I don't even have it as a quarter as bad as these guys did.

To think that these characters were inspired by real people just goes to show how destructive this war was on a person's psyche

Elias’s eyes when he realizes what was about to happen. 😢

Elias is supposed to have native american blood. I love how this pure spirit warrior shines thru in these scenes with him sneaking alone in the jungle.

I remember it as the most despicable part of the movie scene😡

Right after Barnes shot Elias, he hesitated for a moment, that was the moment the last little bit of humanity was leaving him as remorse and or regret.

Was watching this in my high school class. My friend and I gasped and looked at eachother for a good second. Neither of us expected something like that. We both hate Barnes now 😂

Report Barnes

He knew Elias was going to be the end of him if he let him live.

Brilliant choice of camera perspective here when Barnes walks by after killing Elias. I can feel the interrogation and minuscule shred of guilt.

00:43 me whenever I shoot a bullet in multiplayer

“Friendly Fire isn’t friendly.”

Brilliant film making. The smile always stands out to me because its so realistic. Despite all of their differences, up until that moment they were still two soldiers on the same side

Everything about this is so brilliant. The way it's shot, the music ambience

Elias takes 3 in the chest from a Colt M4 Commando and still runs out of the jungle, getting hit several more times from AK-47s and still went out like a boss.

One thing that makes this movie so great is that it's partly about a war between America and Vietnam, but mainly about an internal war between two factions of this platoon.

Elias looks so cute when he smiles before he gets shot.😢

This movie is so damn good.

Crazy how history repeats itself or how life imitates art , but the recent case of (former) Navy Seal Officer Eddie Gallagher is eerily similar to the Platoon character Sgt. Barnes. Both were combat veterans who chose to re-up multiple tours, specifically in war zones, for their own diabolical reasons. Both were conditioned to kill without any conscience, consequence, in their mission. Both expected their peers to not intervene or talk about it, like "what happens on duty stays on duty:" The only difference I can can see between them is Sgt. Barnes crossed the line even further when he feels he can intimidate and kill his own men for going against him. Of course, Afghanistan and Vietnam are two different animals and 50 years apart, but notable (yet least talked about) was that the Vietnam war was notorious for a phenomena know as "fragging", as mentioned by someone earlier. Per Wikipedia: "Fragging is the deliberate killing or attempted killing by a soldier of a fellow soldier, usually a superior officer or non-commissioned officer. There were thousands of fragging 'threats' during the Vietnam War, most of which were never acted on. There are at least 800 confirmed attempts in the Army and Marines. 86 of the officers and sergeants were killed and approximately 700 were injured. This is only the documented cases." The Vietnam War was fought under conditions which were generally more chaotic and confusion, less high tech equipment, poor visibility and communications, fragmented military cohesion. Those conditions, when coupled with losses in the field, lend themselves to low soldier moral, in-fighting and the self-destructing "fragging" behavior. The Pentagon should have recognized this during the Nam and find a way to re-organize the platoons -- based on personnel similarities -- before sending them out to the field. This key military management detail would mean less in-fighting, more trust and team work, and no self-destructive fragging incidents.

This movie made me stay out the military.

One of the best Movies as A Kid!

The Motto Of Mariners. No Man Left Behind. Saying a dude is dead so easily will raised suspicion and BS.

Can't put into words how much I love this movie. Seen it many times but never loses it's impact. In this scene Elias a spiritual man smiles as he sees Barnes (grim reaper) accepting his fate. I believe he runs afterwards firstly to avoid capture by the enemy. Secondly I think he's reaching for heaven not the chopper but also to let the men (mainly Taylor) know who loved him what happened in order to bring Barnes to justice one way or another.

I'll never forget how pissed I was watching this unfold in a theater when I was a senior in high school...only to get a gratifying revenge death scene at the end when Chris ventilated Barnes chest cavity!!

Barnes was highly threatened at how the troops gravitated to Elias's leadership. This happens at work everyday, where instead of killing out of jealousy they work to get you fired.

These 2 were so good they literally cancelled each other out for best supporting actor that year.

Pat Tillman.

This truly hurt to watch. I can't believe that Barnes would do something so low. 😢

It doesn't get any lower than what Barnes did, especially after Elias thought they were cool and grinned at him before being shot.

1:22 when someone says "I play fortnite"

The irony is if Barnes helped him, he woulda been one step closer to the right path

Barnes went insane. When that dude was killed and tied up to the tree he lost his mind. He had enough.

Willem Dafoe’s read on this scene is when he smiles when he sees Barnes it’s instantly realizing he’s gonna be killed. But that’s not it, Elias totally didn’t expect to get shot there.

One of my favourite oliver stone movies and William Dafoe nailed this scene he deserves an oscar

One of the greatest scenes/films of all time…look at Charlie sheens face in the chopper…masterpiece in filmmaking

I met guys like this in the Navy. Cruel and vicious. You stay far away from these guys, because deep down inside they have murder waiting to come out. These men should never have served because no one is safe.

When u meet someone in dayz

This Movie is so Amazing.

the weed smoke pumping out of elias's chest is a nice touch (oliver stone said the guy who inspired elias was fragged soon after his tour was over)

エリアスの笑顔✨

The book and movie both were good.Watching the helicopter scene of Elias dying was so painful.

Jesus even the “when this when that” comment plague spreads to a platoon scene...

@ 1:22 When you see the Devil and realize how far he will take it.

in that scene they only look at each other, but it feels so real ...

I just watched this movie yesterday this has to be one of my favorite movies and Elias was my favorite character

"He's dead?" "What are you on, meth? Now get moving".

I loved Elias. He was kind

E aqui los mejores actores,que describen casi aperfeccion las actitudes el espiritu de los soldados en las gurras.para mi la mejor pelicula.las peliculas del vietnan son las mejores

even though it is a movie, I felt so bad for Elias in this movie because when he died he was shot many times and he must have been in so much pain.

The coldest thing about this scene is Barnes eyes before he shoots. They’re calm and expressionless. Throughout the film we see his eyes look angry, hateful, and vengeful at various points, but there’s none of that here. It’s all business. He’s an animal, a predator, a wolf methodically eliminating a weak link in the pack. That’s what always stuck with me about this scene.

Do you forgive barnes for friendly fire? F7-yes F8-no

por favor subanla asi ls podemos ver TODOS PELICULON! 👍

Barnes-Got hardline pro perk and dual mag attachment and Elias-got Lightweight pro perk with sleight of hand perk...black ops 1 references hahahaha.

Esta pelicula, por su verasidad, nos translada a el terreno mismo de la falasia de la guerra, donde queda de manifiesto; el sufrimiento causado...

When you forgot to un-fill on Squad's and he knows you have a Legendary Scar 1:18

This was the moment that Barnes went from a somewhat sympathetic antagonist to a straight up villian.

For those that have been in the service, law enforcement, or a high pressure job you learn to hate some of your co workers as much as the enemy or criminals. Your around the coworkers constantly not occasionally. A few coworkers take advantage of power or the system causing major problems. Others f#*!ups make productive work impossible. Barnes was wrong for killing Elias but he didn't want to get court martialed or compromise the cohesion and fighting ability of the platoon. Barnes did take his authority too far with crimes at the village and illegal killings. Taylor got pushed over the edge and evened it up at the end. Elias was too trusting of Barnes. Right or wrong when you throw a rat...it can get ugly.

When you got a common ar and your teammate has a scar and forgets to turn off friendly fire

1:22 Long live the king (war version )

1:38 I always like to picture that Barnes gets shot by Taylor in this scene . And it’s a shot for shot of when Barnes shot Elias

Fantastic film!

Harry Osborn wouldn't like this

How do you tell a soldier from a murderer. A soldier doesn't shoot an ally in cold blood.

thanxs, crack thanxs

Watched this again and I feel like the moment he decided he was going to do this was after the village when Bunny said that Elias would get them all killed and someone should frag him.

It was a mistake sending them back out in the field while one of them was accusing the other of war crimes

My 2nd grade social studies teacher showed us this movie in class.

Watched this movie on the Fourth of July while I was in the army.

Barnes: *Doesn’t get banned for FF* Elias: “You can’t do this to me. You know how much I sacrificed?”

This is so heartwrenching to watch...

Enemy of my enemy is my friend ;)

Platoon was featured, a snippet, on The Actor's Studio -- that's great. Great PR, and lots of publicity, on a true story.

When you bro says goodnight but his snap score increases by two

HALO ANNOUNCER: BETRAYAL! (Barnes was vote kicked for team killing)

Tom Berenger owned this movie. Love the character of Barnes

Como se llama la película completa

"The only thing that can kill Barnes is Barnes" Taylor: "Hold my Joint"
