The fat boy died so pitifully, why do people with mental problems still enlist in the army? The clown plays the role of a watcher here. At the climax, when the US military drops smoke grenades into the sniper spot, the soldiers are like death gods who are dormant with killing intent. This is also related to Kubrick's shooting methods. . The Vietnamese woman who died in the end was an excellent sniper just like the fat boy. The difference was that the Vietnamese woman had accumulated too much killing intent. When the soldier wanted to point out her location, she swept him so hard that the killer was so painful.
What is powerful is weapons, not people. Regardless of manipulators after the war or on the front lines, what is important is lethality. There is no difference between men and women and races. Speaking of lethality, I think of Toon’s war and peace again. War appears so indifferent to human beings, sudden and meaningless. Is going to war to fight for freedom? What is the purpose of the war. Everything seemed so empty and meaningless before death.
The fat boy didn't hurt his companion as a killer. The burden he had surpassed his limit. Killing the sergeant can only kill him.
The soundtrack is bleak, always shrouded in an atmosphere of death and resentment, in contrast to the joy when the soldiers get along.
