This is supposed to be the only war movie I haven't cried, um... maybe it's because I've watched too many movies? Or is the film too absurd, with a sarcastic mentality that outweighs the sadness of cruelty?
I want to score 9
The songs they sing don't need a youth queen, just a gun. Substitute war for the desire part of their normal human nature.
They are really alienated, they think their meaning is to kill, but do they know what their meaning is? They have no humanity at all
When they found out that they had murdered, they showed a happy smile
"We let Vietnamese play Indians" is still the spirit that runs through their bones
"He masturbates ten times a day" The killing of war creates a strong desire to reproduce, and they long to raise offspring. Their topic of conversation besides killing is making love.
"I don't want boys to go 10,000 miles away to do what Asian boys are supposed to do" "They took away our freedom and gave it to the Vietnamese but they didn't want it, stupid bastard" They really thought they were saving Woolen cloth
Some of them want to be heroes but die pointlessly (hold up a doll)
Snippets, their sniper shots keep pushing them to make choices, split inside
Cowboys always expect support from their superiors, but they also kill themselves. The superiors only let them die but don't save them.
The Joker is a testament to the duality of human beings, and he is merciful to an enemy who has killed several of his teammates, perhaps because the enemy is still a young girl. Such "kindness" and "ruthlessness" would not have made people anxious in hell if there was no war.
The Joker always wanted to be a killing machine, but the first person to kill was the girl, and it was a way of "remedial".
