This is the life-threatening game of Russian roulette and the main point of "Deer Hunter".
This movie is set in the Vietnam War, with affectionate friends as the main line, and shows the tremendous changes and harm that the war has caused to people's lives and human nature.
The movie is relatively long. After watching it, there are three basic images in my mind: the joy and peace of the wedding, the magnificent mountains and rivers in the deer hunting, and the deadly game of chaos in Vietnam.
Nearly an hour before the film, it was like a family video, a long and faithful record of the gags at the gathering of friends and the various ceremonies of American weddings in the 1970s. In a cheerful atmosphere, there is subtle emotional eye contact between men and women, while their fate secretly shows signs of misfortune.
The five friends went up to the mountain to fight the deer together. It was really enjoyable. Among the magnificent mountains and rivers, under the Wei Wei Snow Mountain, with equipment and shotguns, together with friends, temporarily compete with the deer and share the beauty of life. With the wonderful music of the film, if there is more wine, it is the life of Chivas that is often broadcast in TV commercials. This kind of enjoyment in life is still quite admirable.
With the good time in the front, the war scenes and deadly games in the back are more exciting.
When the bullet is loaded, you may not feel it, and when the trigger is pulled down, you may not feel it. But when you see the person falling down at the same time, blood gushing out of his forehead, do you feel that there is no shock to the muzzle of the head?
In the Viet Cong’s dungeon, the prisoners of war were pulled up one by one for a round of life and death duel. After the empty sound, there must be a real sound that makes people tremble to despair.
When it was the turn of Micheal and Nick, I asked to load 3 bullets into the 6-hole revolver at one time, and each of them made an empty sound against their heads, ensuring the probability of the next real bullets, and killed several Viet Cong in one fell swoop. , Escaped.
Nick escaped, but his heart could not be repaired, especially after he joined the underground gambling game, his humanity was wiped out. If the muzzle is pointed at the head time and time again, the trigger is simply pulled down, his eyes are hollow, and his face is gray, is he still a person at this time.
Micheal has always maintained a strong willpower. Although it will not cause a psychological breakdown, the entire pain cannot be healed. The uniform and medals that have not been removed since returning home cannot be made up. When I returned to the United States, I avoided the welcome ceremony of my friends and chose a person's loneliness, just like the veteran who kept "Fuck it" in the war at the wedding corner before. With affection for Linda, his friend Nick's fiancee, but can't love it completely. Aiming at the deer on the mountain, unable to open his eyes and pull the trigger. When faced with a friend who was always joking with another friend with a gun, he couldn't bear it, and he gave a lesson in Russian roulette.
Another friend, steven, although he came back alive, has crippled his lower limbs and brought great misfortune to his family and friends. Just as at the wedding, two drops of dark red were leaked from the bride’s chest during the drinking session for the happy couple. Like wine, unfortunately, the foreshadowing has been laid.
Set aside the plot and talk about other things.
The actor Micheal is still handsome, fortitude and forbearance have always been man's virtues. He leaned on the door frame again and again, staring silently at Linda who was not far away, smiling so warmly. In addition, the pace of going up the mountain to chase the deer is steady and graceful.
This film, as a memory of the Vietnam War in the United States, won the 1978 Oscar for Best Picture and won five awards.
On the night after watching the movie, I had a dream. In a war, I was not a general and withered bones, but as a member of the refugees, I hurriedly fled in the crowd. Vietnamese refugees are average. If war really comes, can you guarantee that the god of fate will always be on your side? I still hope that there will be no war.
