War can make the strong into the cowardly, and the cowardly into the strong?

War can make the strong into the cowardly, and the cowardly into the strong? Mike, Richie, and Steve, who used to be quiet in the past, were confused and passionate about life, and the three participated in the Vietnam War. However, the war was brutal, the three were captured, and what was about to be faced was a life-and-death game of Russian roulette. Mike is the calm and brave of the three, Li Qi is confused by this game and loses himself, and the cowardly Steve is even more flustered and unable to suppress his inner fear, Mike kept comforting him. In this turntable game, Mike rescued the two, and then the three became separated. Mike became a hero and returned to his homeland, but the war prevented him from returning to his normal life. He could only struggle alone in a dark hotel. He had lost the courage and courage to take up guns and fight back in the prison camp. The war destroyed the warriors. In his heart, although he looked very beautiful to outsiders, when he took up the gun and aimed at the deer again, the deer did not fall down, and he was no longer the deer hunter who once hit him with a single blow. Mike later returned to Saigon and found Lizzie. The two faced each other again in the turntable game. Licky has become a profitable bargaining chip in this game, just a shell. Mike wanted to repeat the scene of the counter-kill in the past, trying to turn the game. Li Qi was rescued from this "darkness", but Li Qi took up the gun more decisively than before, and became a "deer hunter" who was hit with a single blow, and finally got relief in the dark. "The Deer Hunter" is a film that reflects on the post-war period. There are very few war scenes in the 3-hour film, but it creates that calm heartbreak.
