Coincidentally, I happened to study the Vietnam War recently, and I came across Kushen's rare "Full Metal Shell" with the background of "Vietnam Spring Offensive in 1968". There is no need to say much about the Hongdae scene, and the audience can naturally appreciate it.
What really reveals the depth of the movie lies in the ending of the two scenes: 1. The grudge rookie gathers strength, but points the gun at two places - the officer and the head. The level of insanity is no less terrifying than "The Shining" 2. The North Vietnamese female snipers exchanged one for three. The prayer before the "immortal execution" was nothing more than the fragility of life. The desperate and empty expression indicated the same fate.
The first half of the film starts with the ease and fun of military camp training, and there is a lot of American humor, and the scene changes at the end of the curtain; the second half, chooses the perspective of a war reporter to enter the battlefield, "Peace Badge" and "BORN TO KILL" The contradictory points pave the way for the ending.
The interview in the second part was very profound. It inadvertently revealed that Kushen and the production team, and even all the groups they represented, had a secret admiration for North Vietnam, and also expressed their views on the war... Snoo, who appeared in the film The songs of Bie, Ragdoll Bomb, and Mickey Mouse are also contrary to the war, but they also show the true mood of war among Americans, especially the Marines.
There are other aspects in the film that are worthy of in-depth discussion, and the above are just my own ignorance and feelings...
Like Joker said, “I am in a world of shit, yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid.”
