Kennedy assassination. River Phoenix plays Birdlace, a young Marine who has been given a final night’s shore liberty with his friends from boot camp. They decide to hold a "dogfight," a particularly cruel contest in which they pool their money, rent a bar, and have a competition to see who can find the ugliest date. The Marine with the best "dog" wins the cash. Advertisement. Phoenix finally settles on Rose (Lili Taylor) in desperation. She isn't very ugly (and indeed, in the tradition of such characters, she grows more lovely as the night wears on), but she’s the best he can do.

She agrees to go out with Birdlace mostly because she feels sorry for him. Then she finds out about the dogfight, and in a scene of enormous power she attacks the young man - not for what he has done to her, but for what they have all done to their other victims. Then she walks out. But he follows her home, apologizes awkwardly, and they begin a conversation that leads to an evening on the town.

To fully appreciate "Dogfight," it helps to see it as the record of a particular time. In November 1. 96. John Kennedy was still president, "Vietnam" was not yet a familiar word, hair was short, and the counterculture was still idealistic and tentative - more concerned with realization than revolution.

And also, more in 1. That, I think, is why Rose even considers still talking to Birdlace after she finds out about the dogfight. Some viewers of the film question her forgiveness of him; I think that, in 1. What does happen between Rose and Birdlace is a long night of great tenderness and poignancy, directed by Nancy Savoca from Bob Comfort’s screenplay with great care and love.

River Phoenix and Lili Taylor are well cast here.

Taylor (who played the girl who composed her own songs in "Say Anything," and was also in "Mystic Pizza" and the wonderful sleeper "Bright Angel") has a solemn face, a serious smile, and a stillness that reads as sympathy. Phoenix, who sometimes plays rebels and misfits, here plays a kid who wants only to conform, and finds to his surprise he is just a little too good to do that. I wonder if you will like the final scene in "Dogfight." Some people have found it tacked on.
