Bell's strong body and fragile brain represent the United States? American?
From the dreams in the opening film to the job hunting experience to the buddies' questions (the advice of buddies when they parted from Mexico: "You should go to the psychologist; you should go to the army; report the war"). The director took the trouble to tell the audience: his mental and psychological defects and his self-destructive personality are caused by the country, the army, and the government.
In Chinese, it means "the society should be blamed on the back." The director is a bit angry!
Another thread is the protagonist's unsuccessful women's. The results of him and the women of the past, the women of the present, and the women of friends are all catastrophic. It is a bit far-fetched to explain his shortcomings in terms of war experience, at least not enough.
It should be the director who focuses on expressing the emotions between men. Brotherhood, the tacit understanding of comrades-in-arms, the loyalty of buddies. There is such a beautiful thing that goes beyond interest among men. The result was the failure of the man.
The cause of cruel youth is immaturity. Does the decadence of the United States keep the United States from growing up? The director can't answer either. (The Utopia is in Mexico, a poor country like a fairyland on earth)
I think it's superfluous to go home to find a wife at the end. There are shadows of censorship by the producer. The strength of mainstream values shows that Americans do not feel that they are living in Harsh Times.
