To put it bluntly, this film is to review the war's magnification of the ugly side of human nature and the distortion of the good side of human nature. The magnified performance is human death as the most exciting entertainment, whether it is the North Vietnamese guerrillas or the South Vietnamese citizens in suits. , All regard death as entertainment. This entertainment has been hidden in the depths of human nature since ancient times. War has provided an environment for this extreme entertainment. Several guys who hunted deer for pleasure in small North American towns learned from civilized life. Suddenly become a life for others in the tropical jungle of Vietnam, the sudden conversion of the storyline, faithfulness and the sudden conversion of war to personal life, there is no intermediate stage in the war that allows people to adapt to the rules of the game of killing and being killed. Brothers are scared. The young students in the bird pants and the assembly were shocked by this sudden change. The good side of human nature was also distorted in the war. It is understandable for Nick to make money for friends, but the way is to lose faith in life and self-exile in suicide gambling. Mike's indifference to people after the war is also a sequelae of the war.
As a dissemination of a worldview, the film’s anti-war attitude is self-evident, and there is no beautification or explanation of war. Even if the three men joined the army at the beginning, they only used the concept of serving the country, and it was not right. Any mention of the background of the US-Soviet struggle is to simply describe the tragedy of human nature in the war through a perverted gamble.
There are not many such films, but as another world power, we have reason to be sad. Chinese filmmakers’ reflections on the war have not surpassed this film. Jiang Wen tried the devil and became a banned film but stopped this effort. , Chinese war films are mixed with too much political propaganda and nationalism, and they have established too many heroes who are not afraid of death. The praise of death has become the subject of many movies. There is also a very regrettable gap, that is, China’s own war with Vietnam has not yet been filmed for reflection. The official reason for not shooting may be to shape the relationship with Vietnam. Perhaps an independent director with such a vision and a high degree of reflection still needs Chinese people. wait
