What else is there after the incitement...

First of all, I have to admit that the respect for an ordinary soldier's life shown in the film really moved me, but after being moved, should I just stay at the emotional level and not do deeper rational thinking? Chance, a young life is gone, why should he not think deeply? Life is worth cherishing and respecting, no matter how glorious after death, I think most people will not choose death easily. Was he supposed to be enjoying youth, love, and the better things in the world at his age, and why was he sent to the battlefield in Iraq to fight the wrong war. In short, being moved can't stop me from thinking about these...

I was also deeply touched when I saw that many of the above comments were filled with dissatisfaction with the attitude of Chinese society towards life. Indeed, my heart was filled with righteous indignation when I saw that the veterans of the expedition were not only not being treated with the respect and care they deserved, but even kept their names incognito. There is also the general form of funeral in today's society, which is neither solemn nor solemn, even superficial, tacky and money-worshiping, which is far from the funeral culture and meaning presented by Western society, including Japan. But are these flaws in Chinese society a reason to ignore the reasons behind Chance's death?

Americans can have their own stance on this war and the American soldiers who died in the war, but as Chinese people, they should have a more objective and detached stance. Some Americans may only care about the life and death of the US military, but aren't the casualties of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians worthy of our concern? Some civilians just gathered too many relatives and friends at the wedding, and they were bombed and killed by the US military as terrorists. Afterwards, there was only a simple sentence, Sorry, it was an accidental bombing, and it was all over; there were also those massacres of civilians ( WikiLeaks has also disclosed), and they were all done by the US military. Maybe some executioners were later dead. How should we face these US troops? Is it possible to ignore the value of the lives of those civilians just because those countries under the fire of the U.S. military did not make an "Escort Chance"? !

Compared with this movie, "The Undertaker" brought me a purer moving. It is understandable to pay homage to heroes who died for the country, but what it means to die for the country is often controversial. Some Japanese think that war criminals are also heroes, but some Japanese think that war criminals are sinners (although some of the reasons are not what Chinese people usually think), so how should you identify such a problem? I think it’s not just watching a movie. issues that can be concluded. Some people mentioned the Yasukuni Shrine, thinking that it was a place set up by the Japanese to pay homage to the heroes who died for the country. I can only say that the problem is not that simple. You can read the Japanese book on the Yasukuni issue. Might be more clear. It is undoubtedly wrong to regard the sacrificial sacrifice of the Yasukuni Shrine and the memorial service of the Martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War as a matter of nature.

I can fully understand the respect for life and the dissatisfaction with the current social atmosphere of the friends who commented above. However, as a mature person, you should be able to strike a balance between reason and emotion, rather than After the sensational, ignore some essential things.

I hope that our country can give the real national heroes the honor and care they deserve, and don't let them continue to die in obscurity, so that more people can stand up when the country is in crisis. Let's take a look at some of the positives that the movie brings to us.
