From entering the recruit training camp to news reporting in the post-war base, the character "clown" actually reflects the human nature of a general environment. At the beginning, he was upright, and he blatantly refuted the instructor's words, and he even had to be appreciated. When the people around him couldn't teach the "fat pie" well, he took over the task again and took care of the other party in an orderly manner.
But the viciousness of the story suddenly appeared here. "Joker" did not stop the surrounding recruits from destroying the faction, on the contrary, he still joined the group. The dullness of the pie will certainly make others unbearable, but for the "Joker" himself, this move may be understood as an explosion under repression. As an ordinary person, it is normal to suppress one's nature intentionally or unintentionally under the general environment, and has a proper release on this specific occasion. But after doing it, it will become his nightmare.
The transformation of "Fatty Pie" has been since then. Muttering to himself, his eyes are terrifying and his actions are quick. But no one expected the abrupt eruption at the end. It is said that the suicide paragraph should have occurred in the dormitory according to the script, but Kubrick changed it to a toilet. The sudden emergence in such a closed and quiet place will especially show a chilling effect, not to mention the special choice of white. White, we have always believed that it represents the colors of dignity, purity, and equality, but for Kubrick, it has become an endorsement of extreme violence. Think about this gentleman's [A Clockwork Orange], the milk that Alex is drinking, and the tightly wrapped coat, which is not shocking.
To say that Pili was a victim of the system before the war is not complete. The same cold training requires not warmth, but killing machines. This kind of environment makes everyone in danger and has no time to look around. The initial slow performance of Perry drags down all the staff. In those days, you could not count on others. Salvation given. Perry finally ended up in Hartman's life, but this was not a resistance, on the contrary, there was a deep sense of confusion in it. As a result, his vicious and fierce gaze turned into an extremely hollow moment, and he blasted his head. In this period, Kubrick's handling was clean and transparent, with a cold onlooker. It is in sharp contrast to the lively opening and mocking irony during the first half of the recruit training.
In a blink of an eye, the recruits went to the battlefield, and "Joker" became a member of the war reporters. There is no smoke of war here, but there is more reflection on the Vietnam War, especially represented by the clown. What he saw was nothing but a farce that the United States directed and acted on to prove his ability. Of course, there was also his own contradiction: he wanted to go to the front, he also wanted to win, even if he knew it was impossible. , And the principle of "victory without war". As he himself said, human beings are "born to kill" on the one hand, and even a dull person like Pari knows to pull the trigger to conquer the instructor he never dared to disobey; on the other hand, it is a corner of the heart Good wishes. I'm not a human expert, so I don't know what instinct is, but in private, I think that everyone should have both sides. It just depends on which side overwhelms which side at the critical moment.
The final mocking moment is that when a group of American soldiers found the sniper who shot at them, they suddenly discovered that it was a young Vietnamese girl. This is a kind of irony to the hegemonic policy and powerism, and it is also a sorrow to the war-no one has self anymore but only the war machine of the country. The clown raised the gun, and still ended up with a girl who is not as good as dead. You can understand it as the victory of the human side in him, but the sneer in the toilet by Perry, who has been entangled in his mind, will be destined to become his lifelong dream.靥. It is the humanity that has long been obliterated by the war, and the brainwashed people who have been severely distorted by the system, even if there is that short recovery, what can they do?
