The Highest Form of Courage | What Platoon is Really About (Film Analysis)
Platoon, directed by Oliver Stone, has a special place in the Vietnam War movie canon. In Full Metal Jack and Apocalypse Now, the main character doesn't have a moral force pulling them away from a lifestyle dictated by primal urges. In Platoon, Sgt. Elias becomes that positive force for Taylor. Eventually, Elias goes to war with his humorless foil, Sgt. Barnes., and the results are fascinating. Their war is over the definition of courage. Is bravery doing whatever it takes to secure victory, or is it standing up for what's right? In this analysis, I explain why I believe Elias's ladder definition is correct.
