First introduce information about the Vietnam War (refer to Baidu Encyclopedia) The
Vietnam War (1961~1973) referred to as the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, was the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) and the United States against the Communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam and " A war of the South Vietnam National Liberation Front" (also known as the Viet Cong). The Vietnam War was the war with the largest number of Americans participating in the war and the most significant impact after World War II.
What is impressive in the film is that the clown and the photographer are preparing to go to the front line. On the helicopter, a soldier is shooting frantically downwards, and the Vietnamese fall one by one in the rice fields. The clown said how can you kill women and children? The soldiers said they would just fire two shots less. In war, who can prove who is innocent and who is the enemy. The soldiers shook out their experience and made me embarrassed: "The Viet Cong who ran when I heard the gunfire, and the well-trained Viet Cong who stood still." You stand in a rice field with a straw hat. You have two. Identity, one is a farmer, and the other is the Viet Cong. I said that the Vietnam War was anti-human, not because of how many people the Americans killed, but because all the people were soldiers in the Vietnam War. The street girl might be a soldier. When the American soldier was looking for fun, she might be killed by a single shot by the weak woman under her body. The Vietnam War was so horrible, no less than the posture of all the people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
War is cruel, there is no justice or injustice. His starting point is evil in nature. This is the director's cleverness. He didn't exaggerate the joy of victory. War is actually a contradiction. It looks like a clown, with BORN TO KILL written on the helmet, and an anti-war sign on the chest. War is like a human being, barely having duality. But the source of this duality is the fear of the ruler and the struggle for interests. Yuri in "King of War" sells killing weapons, while the US Marines in this film are training flesh and blood into bullet-like killing machines with all metal shells. They have murderous expressions, but blood-red hearts are still beating in their chests.
It is meaningless to discuss the right and wrong of war here. After World War II, Americans were extremely war-weary. The interviews with the soldiers in the film "Stars and Stripes" showed that the soldiers hated and did not understand the war. If the Second World War was to oppose the Nazis and fight for freedom, then the Vietnam War was not for freedom, it was just for survival. The idea of working for the American government has been wiped out, and survival in this war is the ultimate goal of all fighters. The American soldiers themselves do not hate the Vietnamese people. I think they just think that killing a Viet Cong will reduce their chance of death and save a comrade in arms.
The American soldiers themselves are not killing machines, and no matter how trained they are, they will not be. They kill people just to save themselves. We return to the first half of the film, the training of the recruits by the chief sergeant. Fatty Heavenly Soldier is the central figure in this paragraph. He can't do everything in training except for shooting. In some other trainings, the fierce sergeant commander has been conducting verbal and personal attacks on the unreliable training of the fat soldiers, causing the heaven soldiers to have an extreme war weariness and low self-esteem. The excellent shooting performance made the heavenly soldiers "rejuvenated". He gave birth to the "natural killer machine" described by the chief sergeant. The Celestial Soldier regained confidence and killed the sergeant chief the night before leaving the training base, and died by drinking a bomb.
The clown is a witness from beginning to end. The blood behind the head of the heavenly soldier was always engraved in his mind. It was a rifle that was handed over to Shalian and turned out to be a heavenly soldier. The sergeant said: "Give your gun a girl's name, because here you can't pick up the girl next door. Only they will accompany you to sleep." The tragedy is based on the most beautiful things, and the beautiful things are rubbed. Broken, trampled, the tragic effect will be unparalleled. Shalian, a beautiful name, she can be a beautiful girl, but she is the name of a rifle, ruining young lives. The clever contradictions in the film give war films the effect of tear gas.
Those who believe in God know that murder is not allowed in the Ten Commandments of Moses. The prayers of soldiers holding rifles before going to bed were actually related to killing. You have to feel sad. Here you may hate the swearing machine-like sergeant chief, but he is not the sinner. This is standard U.S. Marine Corps training, which is just a symptom. The killing of the sergeant by the heavenly soldiers is also appearance, and it is completely wrong for the heavenly soldiers to kill the sergeant. The American ruling class that Kubrick really wanted to kill. The rulers who really start the war, they regard living people as machines, in order to realize their own interests, they do not wash their flesh and blood. A soldier is a bullet, and his value is to kill the enemy.
The ending song of the movie is the PAINT IT BLACK of Rolling Stone, which literally means to paint it black, and in literary terms it is to whitewash the darkness. What Kubrick wanted to imply was that American warfare was a hypocritical act of whitewashing. For war, it is not worth justifying, because the most naked reality is that our living relatives will die on the battlefield.
Every soldier in the movie is full of personality. They have cute names: clown, eight ball, monster, cowboy, snowball, heavenly soldiers... they are all living people. Before enlisting in the army, they were forced to shave their beautiful curly hair and turned into the same pot cover. War allows you to become a killing machine with excellent performance, without requiring you to have any personality. Maybe we used to sympathize with the people who were mutilated in the war, but we may really ignore the soldiers. As human beings, they have the same sensitive and fragile feelings. They also have love, but the war has put them in the cloak of murderers. Some people say that one second before death will flash back to the past experience, I think those soldiers who were shot, must flash back to the original goodness in their hearts, they will forget how many people I killed in this battle, forever What I remember must be the girl with the most beautiful eyes, or the hug of a loved one.
I just mentioned that all the people in the Vietnam War are soldiers. In the last half hour of the film, a group of soldiers were also dealing with a mysterious "people's sniper". They killed three brothers for this. The monster hated that sniper and wanted to take revenge. Finally they found the sniper-a girl with two horns braids, the soldiers knocked him to the ground, the girl fell in a pool of blood, and only breathed. A group of soldiers hesitated whether to shoot the girl and kill the girl. This hesitation also gave birth to the film's anti-war theme. The war forces the weak to take the guns, so the weak eats by the strong, the life and death cycle, life has the most precious value.
The war theory promoted by the madman Nietzsche is an accurate prediction of the world situation in the 20th century. Nietzsche fell at the gate of the 20th century, and his speech dominated the world. I dare say that Nietzsche himself was dominated by fear, and he did not like war at all. No one is Born To Kill. Some bastards say that adrenaline soars when they see blood splashing around. What would he think if the war happened to the bastard. You know, these bastards are the rulers.
We all know that the soldiers in the movie didn't mean to hate the Vietnamese people. Like in the movie, an American soldier points to a dead Vietnamese soldier and says he made my brother like that. A soldier does not really hate the enemy. To kill is to abandon humanity between the two sides and engage in a contest for survival. "Chain Saw" is similar to every war film. He is not a pure plasma film, but a serious discussion about life. Sometimes you have to admire Hollywood, and commercial films are enough to make you buy precious insights with money.
Here I can say that the Vietnam War was the worst war since the 20th century. It is not unreasonable for the United States to oppose the Viet Cong. The socialist country in Marxism is built on the supremacy of capitalism and the material foundation is extremely rich. I think everyone must know the strength of Vietnam. The establishment of socialism in Vietnam is itself an idea for quick success. I believe that no country in the world has the qualifications to establish a socialist country. Since socialist countries advocate atheism and support the theory of evolution, whether socialism should exist has become a questionable proposition.
In fact, contradictions in life are everywhere. You can open one eye and close the other, because your small power is still not enough to destroy a huge crumbling wood.
Today, when I hit the disk, I felt the sound of a rifle by my side, and the words were heavy. The war is over, there is nothing to fear, because I am still alive. I would like to dedicate this to the American soldiers who died in the Vietnam War and the real soldiers in Vietnam.
