This is probably an analysis book of war, which records and depicts "how an ordinary person participates in war", or "Introduction to War". The first half of the film is about how "fighters" train It is full of political overtones and a critical spirit. It is an "extraordinary" stack of swear words. From here, we can feel that the devastation of war on people has already happened before you enter the battlefield (fat Poor boy) In other words, the numbness of war to human nature began before the war started. (Although the scene where the fat boy broke out at the end made me feel a little strange, the same method, this kind of "evil" feeling, in the later "The Shining", the effect is very good, "Clockwork" It's not bad in "Orange", maybe because the actors are more hilarious) The second half is the Vietnam War, which gives people the feeling that it is very similar to the "war textbook" starting from the paperwork, to how to be attacked, and even the How should we shoot when the enemy comes? Unlike other war movies where the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, these people are very unfamiliar in fighting. In short, shooting is over, it seems that only shooting can give them a sense of security. "(I personally like the scene of the New Year's attack, it really feels like a novice tutorial) The whole story is actually very small, and it belongs to the type of small to big, based on a person's point of view, to show the war and the people's attitude towards war. (I also like that part of the interview with the soldiers, that is, the soldiers are very casual, talking about the war as if it has nothing to do with them) and the angle chosen for the whole film is quite peculiar.

    Sure enough, it is a classic war movie. From enlistment training to battlefield combat, you will always think about some questions. Why? is this correct? How should it be? Recruit training is to teach soldiers the killing skills. Of course, the battlefield is ruthless and understandable, but I am very disgusted with the US military training methods shown in the movie. It is not only brainwashing, but thorough mind control, washing people into killing machines. , The fat man did not become Xu Sanduo, but a murderer. The instructor who was killed didn't even understand, "Is my prestige gone? Why don't my words work?". The combat chapter also reveals the superiority of this white society everywhere. He thinks he is a savior, but he does the same thing as a killer. Therefore, only when fighting, I will forget right and wrong. When we leave the battlefield, "God, what are we doing?" "You are so cruel" "You should". In white society, you are always trampling on your dignity, feeling that they express anger and hatred at any time, but after you are impatient, "come on, man, as for?" Different ways of thinking and different cultures. As long as the audience can think about the cultural level, it is a good film

    Nationalist youths, if they want to see America making a fool of themselves, they should watch Vietnam War movies; and Kubrick's films are not Vietnam War movies, but movies that are ugly under nationalism and even hegemonism.
