Run away and be happy

Although it is the background of the Vietnam War and the theme of escape, the film does not have the feeling of "bitterness and enmity" or "heavy reflection" as imagined, but faintly reveals a hint of humor and lightness, and even at some point you will I feel that what I am watching is a tropical rain forest and strange scenery film.

The Vietnamese seem to be dull, mentally retarded, savage and funny monkeys that have not evolved completely. Even the cruel behaviors of torturing prisoners and cutting off the head with a sickle are just as natural as lions and tigers cannibalism. The prisoners of war imprisoned in the huts were all weird, and their words and deeds were somewhat neurotic and funny. Every day, everyone went out together, made noises, imagined food, slept in a row in shackles and handcuffs, and complained that their companions pulled shit on themselves. It seemed that they had a comfortable and happy life. The protagonist Dieter seems to have the world's most optimistic character, the thickest nerves and the most flexible mind, plus the best luck, so that you can enjoy his unusual adventures with peace of mind.

However, when you think about the scenes and the experiences of the characters in the movie after watching it, you can't help but take a breath: everything is terrible! I can't help but admire the protagonist's strong will to survive. The director used such a way of lifting weights lightly and letting us experience a thrilling survival battle.

    The protagonist of the German-American during the Vietnam War was originally shot down and captured in the void. and the stories of those who agreed to be captured planning an escape. . The story is old-fashioned and not new. I don't know why the score is so high. . Maybe this is the habit of IMDB. High ratings for historical feature films. The plot of the story introduces the concentration camp with corpses and the inhuman treatment of the enemy, which made Date feel like a hell on earth, so he decided to escape.
