This most iconic scene came about by accident. Willem Dafoe was rigged with "squibs", designed to create the image of bullets piercing his body, but they were installed incorrectly and didn't go off. In the moment, Willem just went with it and stayed in character. The scene was so expensive to film, they went with what they had. I think it works better, without the gore.
I'm a filmmaker, low budget, indie, do it when I can, I agree, some great moments just happen like that even for me on a low budget scale it has happened like that for me. The same applies to all kinds of productions as far as I'm concerned. A short film I did, Under Siege, was partly filmed during a big snowstorm. That snowstorm was not planned for. I saw it was going to snow, but that didn't mean I was expecting it to be a massive snowstorm. We pushed through anyway.
I think it’s better too, without being shot he’s already going thru so much anguish
I knew it lmao i was like why the hell is he moving like hes being shot but nothings showing the bullets hit him. I get that not all shots would be noticeable but the way he was acting we shouldve seen some of the stuff that you mentioned that didnt work. Kinda cool they kept the scene though because you can almost convince yourself that he wasnt even shot while he was falling and throwing his arms up. Sure he had been shot on the way to that point by his own guy and a few from the enemy but it makes you think. It doesnt even matter at that point, the movies bigger than a few things that didnt go off right and willem did a great job as dramatic as it was
It makes us focus more on Dafoe’s acting and feel the emotion of the visuals and music. Those sfx not going off made this scene more theatrical, and imo more iconic.
He’s holding the clicker that makes the squibs go off in one of his hands almost the entire scene.
This was such a heartbreaking scene because the writers made sure you fell in love with Elias before they killed him.
Platoon is a masterpiece of American cinema
William Dafoe said this scene changed his life and acting career for ever I sure know why
can you link the clip?

Williem Dafoe deserved an Oscar for this dramatic and shocking scene, symbolizing all the American soldiers who died in Vietnam.
wow deep, because all of them were symbolically killed by their own countrymen/politicians who sent them there
As a VC myself, I am proud that our VC soldiers killed a lot of your American heroes. They were not at my country for any good reason. Now, it is peace. I dont really care much. But read your comment makes me remember thousands of thoundsands of our soldiers who died. Your 60k dead American is nothing compared to our lost. Stop acting like they are heroes.
What were they doing there in the first place.

mason1011 He gets shot by barns. Barns planned to kill him half way through the movie. Then he shot him 3 times
This is one of the most painful/frustrating deaths to watch in all of cinema
Make you want to go Rambo on those VC and save him.
@@SirDankleberry I hated Barnes more than the Viet Cong when I first watched it. At least the VC were doing their duty in firing at the enemy, but Barnes was the one who betrayed and shot his own man and left him for dead
Absolute..If i saw this first time then I want Elias be live and survive him. After 30 years...it is still very emotional.
@I drink your milkshake ha, you knew right where to find me. But facts. That scene had me screaming internally
Chris even looks back at Barnes like "You POS" smh
My grandfather was a decorated Vietnam Veteran, and he saw this movie with my mom when it came out, he wanted to see how Vietnam was being portrayed as a film to the world, and during this scene, my mom looked over at my grandfather, and he was crying during this scene, such a sad and emotional scene.

I always find it funny that nobody ever gives credit to the composer in these posts. This scene wouldn't have half of the depth it has without this incredible piece by Samuel Barber.
Adagio for Strings imposed itself on the whole movie
It was written by Barber around 1930 or so, to my recollection. I first heard it in 1963 when I was attending a music class. I believe David Lynch also used this piece in "Elephant Man", but am saying that without checking any sources. I have to wonder about and would like to know Barber's thought train, his emotional state, when he began to compose Adagio. There are times when we can achieve so much when our spirituality transcends our mortality. It's a gift when we realize that our lives can be improved simply by listening to, or viewing a craft of art. This selection opens the door for us all...if we would only listen.
Staff The Prowers Journal in music class we learned that he wrote it about a flowing river that merges off into streams!
Kudos for baker
It is not an exclusive piece to this movie. However, it is a great score and was very deep.
Worst feeling ever is getting betrayed
For those of you who don't know, he raised his hands above his head to create a 'Y' which means "Yes I need help"
D':
I thought it meant "Y is no one saving me?"
For those of you who don't know, his raised hands have absolutely nothing to do with a "Y"(" Yes I need help").
The fact of the matter is it's based on an actual photo of a soldier, taken during the Vietnam War.
So how are you meant to put your arms in an "N" shape for "no I don't need help"?
@@Bipolarvideos Hahaha 🤣 😂. Perhaps one of the stupidest comments I have ever read in my life. Sending a message with his oustretchedarms, saying he needs help. Being chased by dozens of VC, shot full of holes, bleeding profusely........ doesn't say that.
My father fought in Vietnam. He watched all these war movies with me. I was obsessed with the Vietnam War because of him. I read books, wrote school reports on it, I talked to him a lot about it and was always asking questions. He told me one day that talking to me about it as a child and a teen probably helped him get past the horrible memories. This movie was spot on
Surley it did, Trauma is often defined by/ leads to an broken memory and narrativ. That's the reason why they got flashbacks/intrusion: memory is not connect with your verbal life narrativ. By talking to you and handling the images with movie it would be quiet possible, that He got the "New narrativ", with all memorys connected. Good He had you. Respect to All vets.
Isn't there a saying the hardest part of war is AFTER the war? Was he drafted to go? What are his feelings on those that didn't go either conscientiousness objectors or ones that had influence to avoid going?
My father suffers from PTSD and I can relate to your experiences I too have wroten about this because of my Father.
Im Happy to read this 😊😊😊
A big thank you for your service to your dad
jokes aside, this is actually horrific and sad, just imagine if elias was you...
No jokes
Reminds me of those shooter games on which you get downed and you’re trying to crawl back to your teammates. However, the enemy team are a bunch of sweats that just want to get the kill.
I think a lot of men dies in wars as Elias did.
Being betrayed by your brother, I bet his will to survive with all the shots he took was him trying to survive for revenge
@@mast3rchief536 Barnes was´nt his brother.
You can’t do this to him, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE SACRIFICED!!
I remember watching this when I was little. The iconic scene was the movie poster. I was torn over the betrayal, helplessness & sadness of this scene. Willam is an amazing actor 🖤
Arguably one of the most powerful scenes in the history of cinema.
Ruston Coutinho I find it hilarious.
It needs the preceding scene with Barnes shooting him to make it complete; this in and of itself doesn't water the eyes.
Not too bad
your history is obviously short and narrow minded

I recently saw this movie. Though Elias was only a supporting character.
But he was the Heart that the army lacked.
After Burns betrayal and him dying here, I started to cry.
This movie is about sgt Barnes he was the main character.
Chris Taylor is the main character.@@arzaykarzay5884
Heartbreaking scene. My God the job that Dafoe and Berringer did in that movie was incredible.
What most people don't realize is that Elias is not only running for his life but hoping for a quick death. Being the experienced soldier he was, he knew what horrors would await him if captured. When he raises his arms up, he's begging god to take him now and at the same time he's pleading for a mercy kill from his fellow soldiers to spare him the horrible fate of a POW. This film is so great that still divides audiences. I suppose we'll never know who was right between Barnes or Elias but in the end Taylor's character was right, "We didn't fight the enemy, we fought ourselves... and the enemy was in us..."
You watch too many movies. Do something more productive. : O )

Hey, where's Frank Dux?
I saw this in theaters with my friends when I was in the Navy. This death was one of the most dramatic heartfelt scenes anyone had ever seen in any war movie. The death of Elias will never be forgotten.
One of the most iconic images in cinema. It’s really amazing and also heartbreaking
My grandma's brother is a Viet-cong solider, he was killed when he is 19 by someone who is USA solider in 1969. And his body was be looking for in a long time ago. Finally, my family found him next to the stream deep in the forest in 2003. I remember when he is coming home, my grandma was cry hardly, she cry because my great grandparent couldn't see thier son come back home anymore.
This movie make me miss my grandma so much.
Sorry for my terrible english
Do not apologize for not speaking English so well. Thanks for your story.
That is good English bro sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences to you and your family
Well everyone had to die
Wow so sorry to hear that, and your English is good I understood what you said!!!🙏
Sorry for your families loss....its amazing they found his remains..that would be interesting to know how they were found...would you mind e explaining that? Your English is much better than most Americans. Never believe anyone that tries to tell you otherwise!!
Most iconic scene ever
You are so full of shit. These guys are cowards & perverts in real life who have hoodwinked you. Idiots like you can't see thru the bullshit. Shit,fake scene by low life scumbag actors. FACT.
Paris Biker Sure.
Paris, who cares who was acting it out or what they did off the screen? It's about the real life event. War is hell. It happened, happens, will happen. That's what it's about, not about the stupid actors.
Paris Biker damn you really have an axe to grind. Makes you sound stupid.
Tropic Thunder's scene was nowhere near as good as this scene in Platoon and Platoon was a much better movie (I know..DUH..LOL) but Tropic Thunder is HILARIOUS. And what's up with this Paris douche ? Geez, what an asshole.
Without a doubt this scene is one of the most iconic moments in cinema history.
I saw this so many times, it stills broke my heart....
Jack Sparrow, Zuri & Earl Jenkins.......
Don't tell Harry
The knowing look Taylor gives Barnes is such a great scene . Barnes looks almost vulnerable for the first time and knows Taylor will want revenge.
you see a flash of guilt there for a moment
yea i dont think he necessarily fears retribution, but Barnes feels an intense shame for a moment
@@JJ-xp6uj Exactly. He was caught in a lie and he knew he was caught and Taylor knew he was a liar.
As Rhah said, "the only thing that can kill Barnes is Barnes"
@@JJ-xp6uj Exactly. That's not a look of fear, that's a look of intense shame. He got caught with his hand in the cookiejar and he knew it.
Man I love Tropic Thunder, Stiller plays Elias so well
Haha it’s the reason I searched this. Elias: “I killed a sweet cuddly vicious little panda”

Elias Represents the fallen American soldiers who died in Nam, fighting a lost cause
*with best intention
I was wondering when someone was gonna catch the symbolism... that and how often good soldiers like elias get betrayed but the miserable nco.. who is "experienced "
Platoon is one of the greatest films I have ever seen
Spot on
So...every American who died?
God damn, this scene is so perfect. Elias throwing his hands up, while Adagio for Strings plays is so great. Definitely one of the most underrated films ever.
Underrated by whom?
I was looking for this comment I could not figure who the composer was 😘
@djendick I should give worded it differently, I more mean that it’s under watched, there’s not a lot of younger people who have seen or even know about it.
underrated? it won best picture
not underrated, its considered a classic masterpiece
Truly one of the most emotionally charged moments in cinema history.
Also lets not forgot Charlie Sheen. For all that is said about him one must not forget his acting ability and the level he can reach with the right material.
i like his style of acting ..young guns...two and a half men..spin city...anger management....
I remember watching this movie as a kid. This scene stuck with me for so long. I had actually once seen this scene before I saw the entire movie so I didn't know the context of it all. But watching the entire film, it was just one of those movie moments you always remember.
On top of that it shows just how effective music can be when used properly.
So many movies, especially now, try to cheat their way to these kinds of moments. They think if they just hit you with the "feels" that it'll be enough. This scene works so well because of everything before it. The relationship between Taylor, Elias and Barnes was so well done. You have to earn it and Platoon did that very well.
William Defore nailed it as Sgt Elias.. Broke my heart when he died and was left behind by his crew..
Not by his crew. If it wasn't for Barnes he'd have been taken back.
Do you know how much he sacrificed?
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754
Yes, with his life the ultimate sacrifice !
He wasn't 'left behind by his crew '. They tried to save him, but were unable to.
@@robinrobyn1714yeah didn’t Taylor go back for him and Barnes said he was dead
Poor Elias was shot 8 times before he died, in this video 5 times, if you look closely, every time before he falls on the ground, and by Barnes 3 times in the forest. What a powerful character
To think Roy Benevidez, a real guy, survived something similar to this, but was shot 20 times. When they took him to the hospital they thought he was already dead.
That surge of adrenalin overrides pain I guess.. 💡🤨🤔
He’s like a dying Christ!
One of the best on screen rivalries in cinematic history & this is the epic way it ended. All made possible by the two great actors involved & by Mr Stones real-life experiences.
Safe.
Elias’ death was very symbolic- betrayed by Barnes and left to die in the fray of what he even admitted was a futile war. Same as the ones who survived- betrayed by their government and left disadvantaged with the horror and guilt of it all.
Willem dafoe is awesome!
His talent is strangely under appreciated.
Ah der
Indeed he is
Makes a mean pot of Lobster too
He still had legendary roles today. A very great career, not only in the 80s,90s or 2000s. Also 2010s was a good decade for him. Great actor
PLEASE GIVE WILLEM DAFOE A GODDAM OSCAR
Yes give Willem Dafoe
My favorite actor of all time a OSCAR
He's a great actor, but his acting wasn't that special, in this over dramatic death. It was the whole composition of the situation, him dying, the guys in the chopper and the music, that made it great.
Right!??! I agree!
@@peterwhitey4992 im sure his over dramatic death is what helped this scene be iconic.
@@peterwhitey4992 he deserved an oscar for lighthouse tho
I saw this film when it first came out in a huge Times Square movie house.
Many many years later, living in Connecticut and after spending a good 15 years putting together a real good home theater system, this was the first film I screened.
Truly one of the best films ever, and this scene, the death of Elias... not too mention the incredible piece of music, this is something that remains with me.
Whenever I have a real bad day, I think of Elias... and many of the others on both sides who suffered so greatly.
War is indeed Hell.
Never noticed how Barnes has an almost guilty look in his eyes in the chopper, like there is a brief glimmer of humanity left when he realises what fate he left a fellow soldier to.
Barnes is a very interesting character, the film depicts his descent into madness very well.
@danmcadie2515 Tom Berenger is one of those actors you forget about until you see him in an old film, then realise how much he stood out from the actors around him. He even outshines Willem Dafoe in Platoon for me personally. They carried Charlie Sheen who I've never really rated. Fortunately he seemed a good fit in this.
@@ryanisstuckin93 Yes he was brilliant as Barnes, so easy to overact that character as a cliche evil off his rocker old soldier, but he made him perfectly believable and outshone the others.

After seeing Platoon and scenes like that: (with the heroic "Sgt. Elias"); the very next month I signed up for the Army's Delayed Entry Program in 1986. That movie literally changed my whole life's perspective. I ended up switching to the Marine Corps and earning (3) medals in Desert Shield/Storm in 1991.
@@raymondrocco8607 I was fortunate. That said, it wasn't 'a walk in the park' for those of my brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice & died over there.
To them and their families, it's more like an eternal 'rest in the dirt' at Arlington. I hope that answers your question.
I can still hear lots of People crying there hearts out in the Theater Back in 86, when Adagio for Strings started to play.
The Death of Sgt. Elias will forever be One of the most powerful Death scenes in cinema History.🥺😞
This makes me so sad. I've never seen the movie, but just the way he throws up his hands at the end. It's so heart-breaking, no wonder that scene made the front cover.
Sunshine Jo I suggest watching it I just watched it about a month ago and it is my new favorite movie
You should watch the movie, when you see what led up to this scene, as well as what a good person and soldier Elias was, it makes it a lot more tragic.
It is one of the greatest movies of all-time. The soundtrack is one of the greatest off all-time. This should be a bucket list thing you take care of right now. Watch the film.
@@fearless1024 what makes it even more tragic is what is even mentioned in the movie is that instead of fighting the other side they often ended up fighting among themselves (as in real life during this war).
And then watch Tropic Thunder

Most of the education I received from my father was through great films. Every weekend we went to the movie store to rent some film. We've been doing this for years. My whole childhood. I became a movie lover forever. When we decided to rent "Platoon ", the girl from the video store said: "This is the most rented movie here in the store." I don't forget that.
So: In a residential neighborhood of Brazil, in the early 1990s, people loved to watch "Platoon."
(Bing Translator)
Hugs from Brazil!
Aldrin Iglésias Platoon was the most popular film in the US that year and we were all watching it at home on VHS. ✌😎
A lesson that movie producers often forget often: the art world is cruel and unpredictable, but we should never underestimate the taste of the general public.
I feel a pain in my chest when I watch a few trailers: they tell the whole story of the movie! Business is business, but what if it is also a sign that the general public does not want to be surprised when watching a movie? Even when the movie is a really silly comedy? In the long run it hinders the creation of creative and rebellious films.
A big hug, Movie Nerd, and thanks for the comment.

A lot of people don't know this, but Elias survived this attack. He was nursed back to health by local villagers. He eventually made his way to New York City and changed his name to Norman Osbourne.
"Do you know how much I've sacrificed??" Hits so different now
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 This could be truth
My 2 year old daughter ran accross my kitchen floor dropped to hear knees raised her hands to the ceiling for a few seconds an fell flat forward i instantly thought of this lmao
She got betrayed by Barnes

So many chilling scenes in Platoon

"You come home now boy, SURVIVE!"
RDJ: "SURVIVE!"
YOU GET OUTTA THAT HOLE!
Barnes is my most hated character in movie history. I hate the guy
@Chin Brumback Barnes is what I love the most about this movie. He's not truly evil. He made bad choices in the sense that they seemed barbaric by our standards like when he killed the old lady but yet he would still cry in isolation over the death of his men that he couldn't save, he still had to drink his sorrows away even if he didn't acknowledge that that's what he was doing. Even his line about the politicians in Washington fighting the war with one hand tied around their balls speaks volumes about his mindset, as though they've been shipped out into this jungle and abandoned by their gutless government. He's a completely broken man who truly believes that he is doing what needs to be done to win this war and he will not compromise belief. Love his character
Chin Brumback I understand what you’re saying but he would get you brought up on war crimes eventually lol. Sgt Elias is the man you want to follow
Nah bruh. Killing Elias in cold blood makes him evil.
That's what makes for a great actor, which Tom Berenger is
Gave Capcom inspiration for the Notorious Krauser tho
“DO KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICE!?”
What really brings this scene to life is the amazing soundtrack by Georges Delerue, one of the best soundtrack composers ever, the equal of a Morricone. He deserves a lot of credit for this movie and scene being classics.
Very heartbreaking scene in this movie. One of the most heartbreaking scenes in any movie I have seen.
Well then you clearly haven't seen Space Jam...
I watched a movie called casualties of war and I cried my eyes out. It ruined me.
This scene said so much and so painful watching Elias who was shot by the other sergeant coming out of the jungle with the NV soldiers in pursuit even after being shot and shot again and almost as he dies going into a praying "sort of movement". It brings tears to my eyes. I won't watch any Vietnam movies anymore. It's too close to home, although a brilliant piece of film work.
when this scene came on, i had 2 thoughts running through my mind:
"NOOOOOO!"
and
"hey, it's the thingy from the poster"
And to think.. How many stories like this have not been told... Oliver Stone is incredible!
It doesn't get any lower than what Barnes did, especially after Elias thought they were cool and grinned at him before being shot.
I'm not dead
what happened?
@@elipav484 the VC brought him back to life using a serum that had negative effects so Elias migrated to New York under the new identity of Norman Osborne😂😂
@@pyr1412 migrated? he's american. you can not migrate to a country that you're a citizen of
@@elipav484 I think that shotgun blunt gave him superpowers and he just got up, and walked over water to America, and is now named Norman Osbourne
It's Alive !!!👍🤣
La mejor escena de cine de todos los tiempos. Una maravilla.
The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail
