What does the story want to be?

       In Marty’s story, I think he just wants to create a perfect typical psychopath. The Vietnamese revenger revenges Americans without mercy for the case of My Lai village. The revenger is angry and vengeful. And the woman character is awful that she is dumb and uneducated. The naked hooker doesn’t speaking correct English and her voice is terrible. The simple bloody plots just have the function to scare audience and show unending violence.

       In Han’s story, the characters are more complex. The hooker wears clothes so that she is dignified. And she is high educated and has intelligent speech. Besides, the Vietnamese revenger has sympathy at this story and he burns himself as a buddhist monk. Actually, he is selfless at this time. This scene stops his violence and hatred. Moreover, I think those plots convey an anti-violence idea to audience so that this story has more meanings.
