who is the prey

Agree with the Who Am I comment on Saturday. The theme of this film is who is the prey. After a one shot-kill game role reversal, there is a discussion of who the prey is. Although the film depicts the brutality of the Vietnamese, the director did not criticize it, he only did a realistic description. Maybe it's a metaphor for war. It depicts the devastation of the Russian turntable game on people's hearts, which is equivalent to the devastation of war on human beings. The fragility of life under the game (war) is displayed by the director. Who is the prey in the war? I think this may be what the director wants to bring to the audience.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] I was fortunate to watch the 4K restoration of this great epic work on the big screen. From the beginning to the end, I was haunted by singing, and three hours passed in a flash, as if I had experienced a sad old dream that seemed to be true and illusory. Just the opening song "Can't Take My Eyes off You" hits people's hearts directly. The half-hour Russian wedding was arranged in a rich and harmonious manner, which made the audience linger in the dance and the Russian chorus "Katyusha" and other melodies. The revelry of the wedding and the tranquility of the deer hunting paved the way for the cruelty of the war, forming a sharp contrast. Thrilling gunshots are crushing instead of beautiful singing. Russian roulette may be a dramatic reproduction of being shot on the battlefield, destroying the will of every individual enemy and us, falling into the abyss of madness and loss. The myth of Russian-American identity runs through. Returning home to avoid celebrating the loneliness, only shrouded in the disability and inner haze of a close friend. Let the love in the heart and the body of a close friend usher in death. The ending of a song "God Bless America", there is also hope in the endless irony and sadness. Sitting in the theater in the melodious ending song, it feels like a world away

    The metaphor of Russian roulette, structurally speaking, emphasizes the "naive" theme of the film's first paragraph: forced to bet with their own lives in order to survive; later even voluntarily chose the possibility of death . In a political sense, it foreshadows that the United States’ involvement in the war in Southeast Asia is a gamble, with only failure in the end. From a psychological level, the metaphor of Russian roulette captures the fear of an entire generation of American veterans.
