At the beginning of the movie, in order to emphasize the action, there are many moving shots, derailment shots that are pulled back, lifts and pans. Coupled with the never-ending roaring of the instructors and the sound of the snare drums, the hard days in the barracks are portrayed in this way, and the contradictions are quietly coming. The camera pushed the fat man's face, a numb close-up, in contrast to the slightly cute smile before, the external pressure increased, and the psychology began to distort. The contradiction continues to escalate, and the white light from the top of the side and the cool color of the picture in the toilet combine to create a terrifying atmosphere. The light hit the fat man's distorted face, and the contrast was strong. The white light at this time is both terrifying and tragic, and the first part of the military training camp is over. The Joker is the narrator of the film and describes the entire Vietnam War through his eyes. Isn't it a ridiculous joke that the clown has "Born Killer" written on his helmet and "Peace Badge" on his clothes? Later, the Joker faced the same contradiction after finding the sniper. In the medium shot, the clown's badge is slowly hidden, only the helmet is illuminated by the frontal firelight, the ruthlessness is magnified, and the human nature is swallowed by the darkness brought by the war. From a human to a killing machine, like a fat man who committed suicide, only a cold metal shell remains. And peaceful war is just a big joke
