The Russian roulette sequences were used to convey the feeling throughout the Vietnam War. Nothing was certain. At any moment, any number of patriots could have been killed fighting for their country. Russian roulette is a stupid game, rarely with a winner. Many Patriots who fought in the war began to question why in fact they were there. To many it seemed like playing a stupid game where you might not come home. It was impossible to win. I don't think that Russian roulette was a wildly popular as it was depicted in Saigon. Regardless, the message sent to the viewer is astonishing. The sacrifice these men gave and the risks that they took could never be captured on film. Michael Camino does however create an experience where the viewer is left to feel completely dejected. Just as the veterans were.
I thought this was a great film. Everyone should take the time to see it
