Describe River Phoenix in one word
That might be "the ruffian"
One word to describe the girl Rose in the play
That's probably a bit of a rustic and silly kindness
Game of Hits & Hits/Four Bees
Soldier Eddie (River Phoenix) is about to leave for Vietnam
just this night
Crazy dogfight match sees him meet Rose
To win prize money for dogfight - "Ugliest Girl Contest"
Soldier Eddie wandering the streets looking for a girl to 'compete'
But did not find this "girlfriend"
As a result, she accidentally met the waiter Rose (Lili Taylor) in the corner of the restaurant.
Rose doesn't know anything about what she's about to experience
But gladly accepted Eddie's prom invitation
It's a pity that Rose, who is kind-hearted and stubborn and a little silly, learned the essence of dogfight
She thinks it's disrespectful to all girls and she feels sorry for the girls who are in the dark
So Rose left the dance angrily
Eddie didn't get the bonus either
The first girl who wants to stop / wants to hear you sing a song
In fact, Rose didn't leave because she was fooled
But I can't see the exclusion and devaluation of women by the soldiers
They mock girls for their looks, gestures, expressions
just for fun and ridiculous competition
Especially Eddie betrays Rose's trust in him personally
It also failed to live up to expectations for the prom invitation
Eddie with a reproached conscience finds Rose
After a sincere apology, the two reunited
Can apologize many times can wait a little longer
Just can't walk away
So in talking
Both Eddie and Rose were surprised to find so much in common with each other
Over time, the relationship between the two became closer and closer
Confessed he made up 'Bob Dylan friend'
I confess that I don't know anything about music.
Confess that he loves this girl
Eddie has played 6 Dogfight matches
Rose is the only girl he wants to take
Perhaps deep down he already felt that there was something wrong with his surroundings.
Rude wanton, careless, bohemian
Perhaps it was the kindness and simplicity of this girl that moved him
She talks eloquently about music and has infinite vision for the future
eager to participate eager to give
Eddie just wants to hear Rose sing for her first audience
Hear her connect her story, his story, the war story
There is a debate about music and war in the play
How can we make a difference in the world
get better not worse
It is true that music can reach the depths of people's souls and give people comfort
The solace comes from the lyrics themselves and from the person who sings
sung in song
"Just a little rain falling all around"
... "And the grass is gone, the boy disappears"
Rain may represent war, such as rain scattered, continuous, and lasting
So that boy left and never came back
because of war or accident
Like Eddie and his companions are leaving for Vietnam tomorrow
And it's all because of a decision by the president.
The president's decision is again due to pressure from various quarters
In fact, they are just telling each other
Constantly hypnotizing yourself to war is the best solution
I'm used to being told and slowly forget to think
Years of nonsense / Please tattoo four "bees" for me
Eddie asks girls to dance and listen to girls sing and play music cards for girls to listen to
Promise to write a letter to the girl to let her know her heart
Undoubtedly it was his most precious night
He didn't want to show this real emotion to his friends
Because he knows they don't know how to cherish and don't care
So again he made up a lie
Naturally, no traces can be seen
Why didn't his friend win the Dogfight game by a trick?
But they don't say
Just because the lie is bland
It doesn't affect the relationship at all
I trust you to be your brother and it is enough to take care of your safety on the battlefield
These life-and-death jokes, lies, jokes
Just say whatever you like
The war made them more Asshole like this step by step
But who doesn't want to be "redeemed" by a girl like Rose?
Who doesn't want to change from a handsome boy to a gentle and considerate boy
It's just that war life and daily life are two systems.
This can be seen from Eddie returning from the army after 4 years
It seems out of place to walk with others
Because the identity of the soldier has to be misunderstood and accused of how many lives he has personally ended
Injured both physically and mentally
Finally this time my "bee" doesn't need someone else to tattoo for me
Four identical bees represent the memory of friends
Remind yourself of the years on the battlefield
As for the blue bird, it may have really brought him good luck.
Because at least he's alive
At a time when the nation mourns the pain of the war over the death of President Kennedy
He can still feel all kinds of indifference and grief.
I'm late / didn't write to you
Eddie and Rose agreed to meet again when he returned
I just didn't expect it to be four years
Four years later, Eddie, still thinking about Rose, is back at the restaurant where they met
Eddie takes off his hat and looks helpless
Already worthy of a long-lost and familiar hug from Rose
Emotions that show in the eyes
never lie
Eddie and Rose's relationship is still stuck on the night they met
I'm late and I haven't written a letter
Thank you for being here for four years
