When Sam puts a pistol to his forehead, I hope he actually pulls the trigger and ends his dark and depressing life. But directors don't think so, they need to see hope. Even if they understand that once a person falls into darkness, it is very difficult to survive. But Sam needs to live, he needs to understand, he needs to forget, he needs to reintegrate into his life, and this is the revelation the director wants to give.
What was he finally awakened by? "YOU ARE MY BROTHER!"
Can this sentence really be heavier than hammering to death in Afghanistan to survive? Can it be more serious than thinking that you have been betrayed by your family?
Watching this movie is so depressing, people say it's an anti-war movie, so that's it. And I can clearly see that it promotes the self-righteous universal values ​​of Americans, even at the expense of humanity.
I see naive Americans who really think they can save the world, but send their children to the battlefield one by one, become bad boys, or become mentally ill.
They said it was salvation, and their humanity collapsed at one point.
Therefore, Sam still pulls the trigger well, he lives without worries and dies without regrets.
The performance of the three protagonists is impeccable, full of responsibility, but finally suppresses the audience's brother; the sister-in-law with a strong personality and beautiful appearance; the younger brother who was originally a gangster but turned back as a prodigal son. Hey, Hollywood always likes to use those prodigal sons as savior heroes, and this time he saved his brother who tried to save the world but failed.
