His mutilated body is found tied to a post close by.

Platoon movie ending. They come from the end of the line most of em. Soldier is standing to the left of a bunker with his back to the camera when he is shot. Small towns you never heard of.

His violent and disorienting images have a terrifying immediacy a you-are-there quality that gives you a sense of how things may have felt to an infantryman in the jungles of Vietnam. The ending of The Platform sees Goreng divinely descend with the child. Stone has become known for his sledgehammer visual style but in this film it seems perfectly appropriate.

The platoon raids a village in revenge for one of their men getting killed and Sgt Barnes goes a bit overboard and most of the men follow him. Taylor Goes to the Dark Side. As he falls backwards he can be seen reaching up with both hands to throw his helmet up and out to simulate the effect of him being thrown backward by the force of the shot.

Well here I am anonymous all right. The film is so well nuanced that in one scene Rhah a regular drug user played Francesco Quinn is filmed taking something from a dead NVA soldiers breast pocket. There is a lot of speculation whether he lives or dies confused even more by the fact Depp mentions Lerner dies in.

Shortly after a soldier named Manny Washington Corkey Ford goes missing. Chris points out in his ending narration that during the war the two sergeants struggled with each other for what Rhah called possession of my soul I love those power struggle themes. The Platform films ending is metaphorical of Goreng dying in peace believing that he made a difference and walks away into nothingness.

Barnes Berenger and Elias Dafoe confront each other deep in the jungle and Barnes shoots Elias to avoid being court-marshalled for the incident at the Vietnamese village. As the platoon leaves the area Taylor Sheen spots Elias running from the VC. The film closes with hundreds of dead bodies fallen everywhere with no particular organization and no body bags.
