In the small town, the abandoned, outdated, and smoky factories, and the suffocating environment, are they implying that life is getting worse and worse? I love the plethora of fixed shots inside, giving me a feeling of unusual realization. The soundtrack inside is also very moving. Aunt May's acting skills are really not covered. Just when Mike returned to the United States, all the complicated emotions in the room can be read from her expressions. De Niro's acting skills are undisputed, and the transformation of Walken's role is shocking. Really wonderful! As for the time line, I think the small town life in the first hour or so is well described. The wedding scene is very long, and there are many hints in it. After reading it, it didn't feel too long. In the middle of the transition, I jumped directly to Vietnam. The North Vietnamese soldiers forced the South Vietnamese soldiers to play "Russian Roulette" with the Americans, which made me very uncomfortable. I felt that my heart was always pressed against a revolver. Just a nightmare. Nick's loss of humanity makes me sad, a war that leaves nothing to be desired, unspeakable. destroy! Mike's heart was also irreparably traumatized. He couldn't fit into reality. I thought he would be with Linda later. When I think about it, I even think that Mike will kill himself later. Takeshi Kitano also plays "Russian Roulette" in "Sonata". And the themes expressed by the two films are very similar. I deduced from "Sonata" that the protagonist (De Niro) may also commit suicide. The difference lies in the joy and happiness of "Hunting" before the war, while "Sound" is joyful in the cracks of the chaotic war. Both films try their best to portray friendship, and in the end they both end in ruin. The game "Russian Roulette" is very weird, the uncertainty is so disorienting, and every second of this shit game makes me sick. When the movie returned to the American scene, the rhythm was very slow, and the rhythm in Vietnam was very fast. The reason for this treatment is obvious. I have to say that the part from "Russian Roulette" to the helicopter on the river is really thrilling. However, the first hour still left me feeling down, I almost couldn't watch it, until the outbreak of the war, I got better. I also slowly recalled the previous hints, and went back to watch some scenes again. I still want to divide the movie into front and back. The first part is mainly to explain the life of the two supporting characters. The background of the protagonist is very blank, and the focus should be on the character. The atmosphere was very sad. It's not that I don't like tragedies, tragedies make people grow up, and it's still hard to see such tragedies. The darkness of tearing apart humanity in those shabby casinos makes me timid.
