-dan blk 1 #1. The symbolism for the Russian Roulette sequences. What was the director trying to get at? Do you agree or disagree with his concept? Include with this our discussion as related to patriotism.
I do not really agree with the idea tat it represents patriotism. From what I saw I thought that it more closely represented Nam its self. The characters were forced to risk there lives for no good reason. There lives were decided by chance and chance alone. I thought that it showed that there were no real winners and the only reason you survived was chance. The second Russian Roulette scene in the city, i thought represented how the war was never really over and the characters could never really escape form the horrors that they witnessed. They never got away.
