Village women/girls are pushed around, terrorized, and shot at because they are perceived as inferior/enemies.

Not intentionally, but a girl’s mother is killed and her father is imprisoned, and one of the last shots she is seen in, she’s being pulled away from him.

Not in the traditional sense, but guerrilla warfare, where people were hunted in the woods. Some characters panic during these situations, which could be triggering.

A pig is shot by a soldier around 46:05. You don’t see the pig being shot but you hear it in pain. Around 46:20, another soldier goes out of his way to nudge a different pig with his foot.

Some cutscenes include things like grasshoppers and various bugs in a jungle setting, and the main character is seen to bat away mites/ants from his hair

Soldiers SA at least one young girl before someone steps in. It’s not shown onscreen, but you can hear the girls screaming and crying.

A man comes across some of his fellow soldiers raping young Vietnamese girls. We don’t exactly see what they are doing as the camera angles and placement of people make it hard to see. However the man stops it from going further and berates them for their actions.

I mean… it’s kind of a whole theme, the loss of innocence and the effects of war. The main and several side characters struggle with PTSD of varying levels throughout the movie.
