Day 2 Block 1 Film Studies

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2007)

This is Megan Medvidofsky from film studies. 4.) Mike went back to Vietnam because he felt like he let Nicky down by leaving him there, but that is not the only reason. Mike was a man who liked things to be the way they are supposed to be. ("This is this.") If he left Nicky there he wouldn't be living up to his own mantra. He had made a promise and he would keep that promise or literally die trying. (the Russian Roulette game with Nicky). Another reason he went back is that he couldn't face his friends at home, especially Linda, if he deserted his friend. While they did not blame him for losing Nicky, Mike blamed himself. Mike didn't want to go back to Vietnam, but he felt he had no other choice. Bringing Nicky home was his only option.
