In chapter 4, Billy is unable to sleep and so he watches a war movie late on the night of his daughters wedding. When Billy describes the war movie, he tells of watching it backwards. This is a really interesting idea. Watching a war backwards you would see many hurt and killed men get back to full health and then all help to repair broken cities like Dresden. A war in reverse is the perfect anti-war idea. "The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes." (74) The soldiers transform from bringers of death and destruction to men with godly healing powers. Later on in the chapter, t says that the bombs were disabled, and hidden in the ground where they would forever be hidden. I think its a really cool idea how the whole concept of war can be changed if one just watches it in reverse. This again relates to the 4th dimension of Tralfalmadore where time has no order or constraints in their life. I think this trend will continue through the whole book.
