The director is saying that Russian Roulette is a symbolism for how if you were a young male during the war, you were prone to death/danger in some way and it was inevitable. If you avoided the draft you were shunned by family or had to move to Canada. Going to the war mean that you were either killed or received mental or physical damage. Like the film depicts the results and horrors of the war, Russian Roulette was a game of danger and positive destruction as an outcome for all players. I agree with this concept of relation from the game to the film and think that using a game that is so scary and yet seems so insignificant was a really good way of conveying this message.
