Film Studdies

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2010)

2.Prior to the war, Nick is free-spirited and good hearted, but a gambler, Mike is focused and deliberate, and Steve is not very decisive and is rather passive. Mike's personality lends itself the best to military life, and foreshadows his survival and objective thought in the heat of battle and in moments of stress. Nick's personality lends itself well to army life, but his gambler nature ends up being his downfall in his involvement with the underground roulette room. Steve's softness makes him go insane at the atrocities committed in Vietnam. I don't imagine that it would go differently, other than perhaps, Nick may not have died.
