Without being properly informed, kids and teenagers are separated from their parents in order for them to be trained as soldiers. They also go to battlefield.

An unconscious and injured character is brought to a stranger's house, and is kept there by the stranger until it is safe to leave. Additionally, multiple children are taken away with their parents' grudging consent after being lied to about where/why they were being taken.

During the movie and during the end credits. Don't like flashing lights and images? Turn it off as soon as the movie ends. There's no end credit scene.

Many characters carry guns, shoot guns, kill people with guns, and are shot at by guns. One character receives a bloody/gorey gunshot wound and graphically tends to it.
