Even if the movie wasn't starring River, I think I'd really, really like it. In terms of the themes "Reflection on Vietnam War" and "Celebrating Love", this film is actually not new, but the key is how to express it.
The brilliance of the film's narrative lies in the use of irony. Violent war is like a game in the eyes of a group of rebellious teenagers; the night before going to the battlefield, the young soldiers also opened a game with the theme of "finding the ugliest woman". A lively and lively party; the male protagonist tore up the note with the contact address and threw it to the sky outside the window, thinking it was just a little thing scattered with the wind; the four boys had bees tattooed on their arms, promising eternal friendship. The final happy ending seems to me not a cliché, but a very symbolic one. When the bus brakes suddenly, the hero wakes up from the battlefield of gunfire and lamely walks through the streets where he once ran, only to find that everything has become so unfamiliar. Here, the crowd is crowded, but no one remembers that you fought for the country, only that coffee shop, that simple girl, still stores your beautiful youth before the war. to River, two episodes that I remember deeply. One is when you are slapped twice by the heroine, you know you are wrong, and you dodge around. Another is the candid tears shed when you and the heroine reunited, hugging each other tightly. This kind of outwardly rebellious, soft-hearted role, you are really easy to play.
