A deer is shot and killed. You see it wobble and fall and then die.

Yes, someone was held under water as a captive, but he managed to still be able to breath and stayed alive.

There are dead bodies and broken bones and blood. None of it seems to be for shock value, but rather for showing how gruesome war is.

1 of the main characters dies, along with some scenes where strangers die from playing Russian Roulette. Otherwise, there are scenes of casualties of the Vietnam War

Two nude old men are seen showering at the beginning of the movie. I'm not sure why people are voting "no".

Autism was never mentioned and was not depicted in any sense that pays focus into it.
