This was an excellent movie. When the soldiers where forced to play Russian Roullete you could tell that this was going to be a very exciting movie. It symbolized a very large piece of this film. When they first had to play, they were very scared and understood that this could be the last time the men would ever see each other. It brought the men closer together and they went through something that changed what they think of when talking about war. When Nicky was taken back to that room where he first saw Russian roulette being played for money, he was shocked and after he saw Mike in there he became very angry. Mike went back to Vietnam after he came home, to get Nicky to come with him and understand that playing this game for money is wrong and not a way to live. I believe that the director was trying to show that the war was a scary time and that the two characters went through a lot because when they had to play each other in the Vietnam torcher camp, it was the hardest thing they have ever had to do and when they were at the table ready to play again it was like doing it all together and right before Nicky died he started to remember home and the earlier part of war. I agree with his concept because it was an important part in the movie and shocked a lot people when they first see it.
