Cary, Shep, Bill, and Francis are pilots who have just, and only just, survived the First World War. They linger in Europe in the aftermath, drinking and ostensibly having fun, but pessimistic and flip about their futures, as each feels himself somehow lost and dead inside as a result of the horrors he's experienced. They encounter a beautiful and vivacious girl, Nikki, and adopt her, not romantically but as a sort of mascot and light around which they can hover in hopes of regaining a sense of warmth and life. Nikki does her best to reinvigorate her new friends, but despite the seeming lightheartedness of their escapades, the shadow of the war can never be dispelled.
Spent, cooled off, useless. 把The Last Flight又看了一遍,才注意到医官这句题眼。Spent bullets。还有Shep最后那句,left alone,别再挣扎,顺其自然,听任命运所之。在着火的飞机上他就已经死了。Cary强行挽救的生命不过苟延残喘。他们都是被消耗的子弹,只剩下冰冷的、无用的空弹壳。此片虽然塞满交谈,却是留白佳作,用连篇的废话来掩藏无法诉诸言语的苦痛,所谓最喧闹之处,正是最寂静之处。战后的欧洲填补不了空空的躯壳,塑造出与它相适的新灵魂。the fighting generation, lost in peace.
一战时还没有PTSD的说法,Shell Shock也不适合应用于天上飞的航空兵小伙子,但这无疑就是PTSD的主题,令人心碎的观影过程。如果肉身捱过战争精神却被摧毁了变成战后的行尸走肉,这究竟还能不能称之为幸存呢。原来的命名Silent Bullets更能点题。有了这部压轴,JMS的一战剧作才形成了绝望的闭合之环。
