Nick

(When the opening music started, I was entangled in the pronunciation of "the Deer Hunter" and "Deer Hunter" at a completely different rhythm, and the translation lost its charm.)

Since Cimino's plot is an artistic creation, the characters will inevitably be treated as fictional literature.

The biggest feeling is that Mike, who is as calm as a stone, seems to be the protagonist, but he is a low-key cross-line character. His attention is always attracted by various emotionally unstable supporting actors, from the crazy and silly wedding at the beginning to From the Russian roulette on the battlefield to Nick, who was completely lost on the streets of Vietnam, to the female supermarket employee who was suddenly sad when it was time for the stock. This situation does not exist in "Generation Kill", which also has a calm personality as the protagonist. What did David Simon do?

Nick is really good. He said he likes trees. He also has a more enthusiastic side. He is not a weak literary youth. He has bright eyes when he dances with wet hair. He is the glue for the team. When Stan borrowed his boots, when he went to comfort Stevie by the wedding car, when he saw Mike inviting his girlfriend to go to the bar and watch silently, when Mike told him that if I didn't go with you, I would go hunting alone. Inside the dungeon, Mike comforted the broken Stevie, and Nick called him softly, not knowing what he was trying to say. Facing the night view of the city, he made Mike promise not to leave himself there.

The Russian roulette with 3 bullets is what Mike believes is the vitality, and it is the best result of letting go anyway; causing Nick to pursue the bullet and the boots waiting to fall above his head is the fault of the war. ; It seems that Mike, who is well adjusted, thinks so too. Mike showed that there are not many clips affected by the war. The most prominent ones are the blunt No during the last hunting. Once he picked up the phone and put it down, he didn’t dare to call Stevie; once he didn’t want to face their collective. Welcome, staying at the motel/occasionally headache; and more focus on the fact that he can barely cope with some possible triggers, even with Stevie and Nick’s affairs, and very positive: close to the supermarket girl he likes Staff, for Stevie kids playing with guns, for others asking us where we won, and patiently asking about the location of Angela Stevie, who was almost collapsed, he was quite calm and patient to deal with. Did he believe in himself enough and his brains enough so that he could break through Nick's emptiness in the last time and pull him back. But this is another paradox. Can a more violent way and emotional expression be able to find Nick faster? In the end, he and Nick sat on opposite ends of the pistol, and he seemed to be really panicked only when Nick fell in his arms. Because it is fiction, because it is common sense reasoning that is taken for granted, even psychology seems to be unable to judge whether the psychology of these characters is reasonable and possible; there is no solution.

In addition, in order to pursue the conflict of the story and the impact of the picture, and the symbolism that expresses the so-called fate cannot be controlled, the beauty and defects of the characters, the reasons and consequences of this behavior are all affected by various factors.

It’s like watching DC comics to know Batman’s imaginary community. Different versions have disagreements and differences in all aspects; fictional/adapted characters in the mass media, AO3 is divided by canon and canon divergence ; Dividing the limits of the reader's imagination in this way, the function is very good, and it is a genius, but it still can't solve the problem of what is OOC. To extend it further, someone who is attracted by the role will discover the goodness of the actor; whether it is the same or different, the filters are not broken. Compared with the few hours in the movie, this body you like has at least a larger cinematic universe.

This layer of self-construction is all for the love and comfort in my heart.
