Taking chance is a very artistic name. On the one hand, it is the hero's protection of Chance, and on the other hand, it is not a hero's redemption of his own soul.
The protagonist of the film, Colonel Mike, was a good Marine, but now serves as a comfortable and comfortable senior civilian in the military. This contrast is reflected in the strong contrast from the very beginning of the film. On one side, Iraq is full of gunfire, on the other side is picturesque California; on the other side is the fury and shouting of the soldiers in the Sith, and on the other side is a sweet and warm family dinner; Long and boring military report. In this background, the story slowly unveiled his veil.
By chance, Mike, the hero of the colonel, took the initiative to apply for this seemingly ordinary task. And as Mike's wife, Kathy always wants her husband to stay by her side and her children. She keeps asking, do you have to go? Do you know this soldier? This is not a sharp irony.
On the morning of departure, the male protagonist seriously put on a handsome military uniform, and carefully tied the badge symbolizing honor and status on his chest to carry out this solemn mission. When the male protagonist learned that Chance was not buried in Colorado-his hometown, displeasure and surprise were imprinted on his face, but when he saw the hearse carrying glory and honor slowly passing by, he heard the high-pitched voice of the officer. The sound of salute, touching the holy coffin draped in the stars and stripes, his cold heart began to melt, and he began his journey of redemption. Redemption of the eyes that have been confused by the comfortable life, redemption of the American public who has been dominated by the smell of dollars.
The film is full of real moving and full of sincere respect. When the officer handed Chance's relic to Mike, he solemnly said to him that you must carry him with you until you hand him over to Chance's parents. Mike practiced this promise with practical actions. When facing the airport security check, he would rather accept He did not put the relics into the X-ray machine for scanning, even when it was demanding and complicated, even with the separate full-body security check that the security guards despised; When the bloodstains; when the comrades devote themselves to sewing the last new uniform for Chance, and stitch the badges of honor on the chest of the uniform one by one; when Mike faces Chance's coffin again and again and pays respects When the same military salute; when Mike gave up staying in the hotel in the middle of the night and insisted on staying in front of Chance's coffin; when ordinary American people driving all kinds of cars invariably paid tribute to the lights of the car carrying Chance's body; how can you Not impressed.
This is a real moving, real. It's not as contrived as a domestic film is like the founding of a country, it's not a near-perfect hero shaped like a sword, and it's not as vulgar and false as a TV series like My Brothers. Taking chance just warms my tired heart with its real touch.
It is full of care for ordinary people, respect for every lost life, and redemption for the hearts of the masses.
Just like the inscription at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty: All men are created equal. Isn't this a beautiful fantasy for most of us?
At the end of the film, when Mike asked to return to the battlefield, all the anti-war sentiments in the past were blown away by this shocking and moving gale.
