deer hunter question 1

Rating: 6/10 (4 May 2010)

i think that the Russian runlet part of the movie is showing the risk that is taken when you are in a situation where a war like Vietnam is going on. What i mean by this is that if you are drafted and you do not go you risk jail time and being looked at as a traitor which can cause a lot of emotional and mental damage. Although if you did go you would see things that could cause you to loose your mind or worse kill you. Where in a game of Russian runlet if they did not play they were killed but if they played they would eventually be killed by the bullet. Also at the end of the movie where he is playing it shows that some one who went throughout the ordeal that they did could just give up on life and not care what happens to them. It also shows that some of the people were unable to live with them self to the point where they don't even want family or friends to ever see them the way they are and will choose death over life.
