      Metaphor: Reflections on the Vietnam War

      After all, it was something from the 70s. Many concepts and techniques have become unfamiliar to people today.

      1972 was the fourth year that the United States sent troops directly to Vietnam (the Vietnam War began in 1955 and ended in 1975, which was much longer than we thought, although the previous period was a proxy war). Drifting in the forest, what is this? Vietnam War movie!

      The conversation between Lewis and Ed in the middle of the river is the confusion of the middle...

      Because the river is there-"About the Four Warriors of the Rapids"


        As Godard said to the film's director John Bulman: the most important thing to make a film is courage. This is also the most important lesson about film that I learned from Herzog. Herzog would like this movie, but if it were made by him, the drama of the story would definitely be diluted, and it would be more of a poetic gaze.
        If you have to follow the traditional theme first, the theme of this film is to explore the conflict between urban civilization and natural civilization....

      The unconquerable river


      "We want to conquer this river",
      "This river cannot be conquered".

      The four were about to drift down the Kahuwasi River. They were wearing life jackets, talking and laughing, and sometimes playing the guitar. In "Four Warriors of the Riptide", they knew what kind of river it was, but they didn't know what was on the bank. When they passed through the town, they played a song with the banjo boy, and there was no need to ask why there was a Kahwasi River near the town....
