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.
