Like the young dufus who fired first, he had what looked like to me as a MAC-10. It was 1976 but come on, shooting across that river give me something a little longer barrelled for accuracy.
You guys may have misunderstood who was the One Man Army against the Japs.
It starts around 38:50 of the movie posted on Youtube.
Marshall Flynn was Ed's roommate at Northwestern.
Ed was the guy who got shot and killed but Marshall Flynn, his pal, was the One Man Army against the Japs.
Rex seems to have taken this serious but not seriously enough as he didn't research or scout Marshall out enough.
This whole movie is Allegoric.
The events of the movie are just the vehicle to get you to actually think.
Much of it is open to your own interpretation and life experiences.
We could literally break this movie down endlessly.
It is obvious that this movie isn't about some bad hunting experience/accident that went wrong.
I'm glad that dannyj brought it to our attention and I must admit it was far better than I expected.
