Platton

Throughout the last fight scene of Platoon the images that are shown are so graphic that the movie watcher is impacted greatly. The main character shoots his commanding officer point blank. He has lost his views on right and wrong because of the tragedy that he has had to witness. He shows that they were fighting each other rather then the Vietnamese. He no longer can see that what he is doing is wrong, he only sees that he must avenge his former commander that was killed. The rhetorical argument shows that he is fighting the others by showing his eyes and the madness in them.
