Russian Roulette

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2007)

The most intense and gripping scenes throughout the film were the Russian roulette scenes. there was symbolism behind the game. Americas involvement in the Vietnam war was no more than death wish. Russian roulette is eventual death with no purpose, one could argue thats what the Americans did in Vietnam. Vietnam was a money game, taking chances , hoping to luck out. all the principles between the two line right up. and at the end when you see nick's waste of a life as a RR player, its symbolic as to mental and physical injuries suffered by the vets of Vietnam, going there and what one experienced changed the soldiers and not for the better.
