The following is an excerpt from Niu X’s lines in the film:
A story of
a man who has used a rifle for many years.
Then he went to war.
After he returned the gun to the armory,
he believed that he would not use this rifle again.
No matter if he uses it again What to do with both hands to
love a woman
He built a house and changed his son's diaper.
His hands still missed the rifle.
A story about
a man who used a rifle for many years.
Then he went to war. The
war ended. He returned home.
No matter what he did with his hands to
build a house.
Love a woman,
change his son's diaper,
he will always be a
pot cover,
all the pots will
kill and be killed,
they will always
be me.
Several soldiers solve boredom and loneliness,
masturbate,
re-read the unfaithful wife or girlfriend Letter,
clean your rifle,
continue to masturbate,
re-disassemble the Walkman,
argue about religion and the meaning of life,
carefully describe every woman who has been engaged by soldiers
arguing about the difference between Cubans and Mexicans, the difference between
Harley and Honda, the difference between
left-handed masturbation and right-handed masturbation
Continue to clean your rifle.
Read carefully the catalog of mail-order brides in the Philippines.
Continue to masturbate.
Plan the first meal after returning home.
Fantasy a soldier named Joey
and his girlfriend have sex
in the grass or in an alley
or on a hotel bed
This is my rifle.
There are many similar rifles
but this is mine.
If I don’t have this rifle
I can’t use it at all. Without
me,
my rifle can’t be used at all. The Marines have solutions
to most problems
.
If you are sick,
go to the medical room.
If you are injured,
call a medical illness.
If you die
, report to the death registry.
If you are crazy,
no solution exists,
no solution exists
