About why the address is ripped off

The first time I didn't understand why the male protagonist liked the female protagonist so much but tore up the address. After watching it again today, I realized that it was his teammates in the back row who found out that he was with the heroine all night, and what they said about the married woman was just an excuse to prevaricate them; and the hero also learned that his teammates in the back row were in Cheating in dogfight, so the two of them agreed to keep it secret in order not to expose each other. But unexpectedly, the front row teammates heard their conversation and began to question the male protagonist. In order to prove his "innocence", the male protagonist tore off the address (note that when tearing up, he deliberately raised his right arm to block the back row teammates from seeing him .Because the teammates in the back row don't know he has her address, and the teammates in the front row are asking him. In order to keep the secret on both sides, I have to tear it up in a joking way and pretend to be dismissive)

This is actually because the male protagonist wants to keep it a secret, he wants to hide the female protagonist in his heart, and he doesn't want her to be the object of others' judgement. And when talking to his teammates in the car, the male protagonist once said the address of the cafe. When he left from the female protagonist's house that night, he opened it and read the note, which also showed that he deliberately remembered it.

The delicate and powerful design of this small detail makes it easy for people to misunderstand and misunderstand the male protagonist. But thinking about it is more real and profound than the usual "I'm careful to save the address until we see you later."

In short, what makes the film special is the Vietnam War background, the transformation of musical styles, and the combination of love and friendship. I sighed River again, the more I look at it, the more I love it, the more I love it, the more I look at it... and the picture of the male protagonist walking away on the road with his back to the camera before heading to the battlefield is really beautiful
