In fact, the biggest problem raised by the film is why it is necessary to find such a dead object. Although it is given various symbolic meanings by people, the eagle emblem is a dead object after all. Although it represents the honor of the family for Marcos, What is the universal value in it? After all, what the film needs is something that resonates with the public.
I think the film should give an answer. It’s just that for the Chinese people, they are not sensitive enough to the appearance of Europeans, so few people find
that the village that the duo passed through at the beginning should be the Roman remnant. The place where the army gathers to live, the place where the camera passes gives a feeling of numbness and lifelessness. At the end of the film, reinforcements arrive, and the lens focuses on capturing the proud and high spirits of the former veterans after regaining their glory. I think this should be a universal value expressed in the film in addition to the infinite base: a proud battle to death is better than a numb life.
In addition to comparing the appearance of the before and after fragments, there are other plots that can prove this:
1. These people should recognize Escal’s race, so there is the bridge where Gern threw Esc off the horse. It should be based on the same Rome. The incense of man wanted to save Marcos's life, but didn't want him to be killed by an alien slave.
2. If, as Guern said, he was only taken in by a local tribe. It is impossible for esca to find so many Roman remnants in such a short time. Then there is only one answer. The village is the settlement of Roman remnants. At one point, they lost their faith, honor, and lived numbly, but when the eagle flag stood up again, they regained their faith and pride as soldiers, and used a bloody battle to interpret the glory of soldiers. This is exactly the meaning of the eagle emblem.
Faith, honor, courage, almost all Western war-themed films express or implicitly spread such values, but these are not seen in Chinese films
