The country has not forgotten

This film follows the usual depiction of American films, reflecting the larger environment through small characters.

There are no handsome men or beauties in the movie, and it seems that there is no protagonist, and the officers who escorted the remains rarely speak and show little.

Maybe the real protagonist is lying in the coffin.

The whole movie shows people's respect for the deceased. If someone says this is a heroic movie, I can only feel sorry for him.

I believe that no director will use a coffin covered with a national flag, a grief-stricken family member to express a hero, look at the picture on the American military recruitment advertisement, the mighty chariot, the powerful soldier... It is revealed all the time The aesthetics of violence, as well as the humanitarian spirit, the peaceful environment, and the rows of tombstones and coffins appearing in the recruiting advertisements.

The ancestors of the Chinese have a saying, "the dead are the greatest", which means that if a person dies, then what he did will also pass, no matter whether the other party is a royal relative, a commoner, or a tyrannical bully. Those who have passed away are to be respected.

I believe that many people in the American society expressed their disapproval of the Iraq War, but they should still give the respect they deserve to a deceased soldier.

Just like the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan and the military cemetery in Germany, I have seen the German military cemetery in France, where the German soldiers who died in France during World War II were buried. Even though they were invaders, the French still gave them the respect they deserved. Their cemetery, like the Allied cemetery next to it, is guarded by special personnel, and the German government has not forgotten these people who have not returned home, and allocates special funds from the finances to manage these cemeteries every year.

In the eyes of others, the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan is a war criminal, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it enshrines heroes who died for Japan's sake. This is undeniable.

No matter what hero is the greatest, the national hero is the greatest, because they are for this nation, no matter if they were like Wen Tianxiang who would rather die than give up, or Huo Qubing who fought in all directions.

I believe that the dynasties of the past dynasties will never be soft-hearted when dealing with Liuyi and foreigners. Opening up the frontier is definitely not a pastoral song, but full of metal and blood.

Give them the respect they deserve, no matter what they were in life.

What the Chinese people lack is precisely this kind of respect. After searching on the Internet, it is not uncommon to see reports that the cemetery of the martyrs has become a market, or even been flattened.
