personal experience after watching

The theme of the movie's ability to express is very good, "no one is a hero, but everyone is a hero, and the hero is because we need it", in a special era, many people sacrificed and even gave their lives, but they may not be the same. They don't do it with great ideals and beliefs, they just protect what they feel is worthwhile. But as far as the movie itself is concerned, I felt that the cuts of the storyline were not strong enough, too fragmented, and every time I thought I saw "something", the scene switched. In addition, I personally think that "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle" directed by Ang Lee is similar to this movie to a certain extent, but Ang Lee's plot and shots are better grasped, and the expression is fuller. (I just write these things as a hobby, please don’t look at me professionally, I just express my own thoughts, I am not professional, and I don’t want to pretend to be professional)
