Brian Boulay question 2

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2013)

Nick, Mike, and Steve all had different personalities in the movie. Mike was the most self dependent of the three which made him the most suitable for war. Nick was a generous and nice guy which didn't serve him well when dealing with the horrors of war. Steve was considered weak and desperate because he married a women who already had a baby. Mike handled the horrors of war with logical thinking and stood strong the whole time. Steve was a complete mess during the war and Mike had to take care of him because Steve was mentally and physically unsuitable for war. Nick seemed to be strong like mike in the beginning of the war, but everything changed when he was forced to play Russian Roulette. In the end Mike was the only one of the three who really survived the war, while nick killed himself and steve was in a mental hospital before eventually coming home. I think their personalities contributed greatly to their reaction during and after the war.
