In this movie, some sudden sound effects and the plot seem to be beating in the brain, suddenly wake up, and advance with the plot.
At the beginning of the movie, the soldiers in the car laugh and point to the "you" clip off the screen, giving people a subtle sense of interaction. Many of the clips where the eyes are the lens can't help but regret that I didn't go to the best theater to watch it.
"People have bad memories" is a phrase that struck me.
Here are some unforgettable episodes:
the "go away" of the black dancers in the halftime show, the stand that must be maintained; the arrogance of the staff, the misunderstanding of the people's understanding of the soldiers, the curiosity about the war, the fanaticism of weapons, the killing the envy of the losers; and the charitable insults of the losers to their experiences of life and death.
In my opinion:
the war itself is not absurd, nor is the issue of life and death absurd, these pure states do not attack the feeler. It is the derived "opinions" that intrude upon human nature and make things good or bad, and that affects us. (Of course this is nonsense, as I said, the scald does not affect the patient, the scars and psychological shadows after healing are the most terrible)
If you have to kill, then as Billy said, there is no idea and "mutual". experience" space. I don't think this movie is just anti-war, and it doesn't hype the psychological problems of soldiers after the war, but it contains this, the reason why Billy is like this, like the "outsider" feeling mentioned in other film reviews, I think it should be in When the mushroom died, when the jihadist was killed, as the blood spilled out of the tunnel edge, something inside was awakened or died. This shot appears twice, and once near the end. Similarly, the "I love you" between comrades in arms was also twice, once with Mushroom and once with Billy. I think Mushroom has lived on him since then, and the emotion of Captain and Mushroom has also been transferred to Billy.
The double awakening of lust and self occurs in the process of choice.
To be continued, I think I can write more after the second brush.

60 for the second brush Frame:
A clearer picture brings a better sense of immersion. The switching of the focus and the movement of the camera make people trot all the way to follow the film, and use many first-person shots to tell a story that can feel the stream of consciousness.
A small detail was discovered, a woman in the corner hurriedly put her turban on as soldiers raided their home on a field night.
I don't know if this is out of habit or due to custom, but this detail presents absurdity.
"What changes have we brought over there" "We have created a lot of opposition to the people". Corresponding to the angry eyes of the little boy when he searched the house.
"So, sir, you continue to dig, we continue to kill";
"They are in the newly built school...", "No wonder the children who have to love reading have to pick up guns against us";
There are many dialogues in the film worth pondering.
During the national anthem, Billy imagined ordinary family life, the dog, the yard, the cozy living room, the good sex. When shedding tears instead of reminiscing about war-torn clips. The entire gorgeous halftime show is the most absurd climax. The battlefield and the performance show are switched at the same time, and fireworks are full of fireworks.
This reminds me again of Camus' outsider, Billy's often absurd sense of being disconnected from the present, powerless to take control of his own destiny.
And everyone in the movie, sisters, fans, staff, agents, halftime show leaders, etc., they treat class b as a carrier and can't wait to put their own ideas into it. And Billy, as a hero in their eyes, also admitted that he "can't say what he thinks" and can't escape with the girl he likes. Everyone projects their thoughts on Billy. And Billy finally knew what he was going to do and what he could do.
In the movie, Billy said to the dead squad leader in the car:
"I live on the battlefield, but they have a different understanding of war. The same is true for the movie."
Although I am talking about the movie that has not been negotiated, it can be considered that it is talking about people in reality about war and about movies. There are also a few lines of dialogue between comrades in arms, as well as small climax clips with investors, also complaining about the main theme movie and creating heroes for inspiration and brainwashing.
This movie has said a lot, so that I still want to wait for the source to be released and download it before I look at it carefully. Would also like to see Camus' Outsider and Sisyphus' myth again.
Finally, after Billy got in the car, the comrades said:
"Take us out of this place, lest they kill us, go back to a safe place, go back to the battlefield, go back to the old nest".
