      Serial Destruction - Hope/Meaning/Faith

      This film is a typical "anti-war war film". If you want to see a scene of violent explosions and gun battles that keep punching to the flesh, this rookie sincerely hopes that you can "leave".

      OK, now back to the topic.

      The recruit Murphy came to the military camp with the simple dream of "Take advantage of the youth to make a big ticket", just like his father. As a result, I never thought about it, and I was sent to the front line to fight.

      So, just a...

      "Yellow Bird"

      In the past two days, I have focused on the World Cup, and my mind has been occupied by Messi's decline and South Korea's unruly behavior, so I rarely write about my impressions.

      The film is based on a novel by Kevin Powers. A poet, he enlisted in the army at the age of 17 and served in Iraq from 2004 to 2005. In the book, he used his own personal experience to describe the deep friendship and the boundless sense of loss after the war. Considered the best novel about the Iraq War. But...

      Soldier Murphy "disappeared"

      The main point of view of the film starts from the blood of soldier Murphy when he joined the army, and after he actually participated in the war and experienced scenes of tragic scenes, until he could not get out of the cruel shadow of the war, and fell down step by step.

      Murphy and Battelle, whom Sergeant Sterling regarded as personal soldiers, went hand in hand during their stay in Iraq and...

      Why is it called "Yellow Bird"

      The first scene about the bird

      The marching army song is usually sung by the newly enlisted recruits who go out for a run. When the Christmas ball at the beginning of the film cuts to the truck scene that has just been enlisted in the army, there are soldiers outside singing.

      Cut shots with...

      Respect the desire to "want to disappear"

      Very good movie. It's a pity that the director's stubbornness and half-sentence method is not suitable for most domestic audiences, and everyone is blinded by the frankness and shallowness of domestic films. The two soldiers would rather go to court-martial than bring back Murphy's body, and deliberately concealed it, just respecting Murphy's wish to "disappear quietly". This is probably incomprehensible to many people. The dullness of the film really reflects the despair of the soldiers...
