Live without respect, die with respect!

After watching the whole film, it is only 78 minutes, it is a powerful work.

I have always been skeptical about Americans' feelings for life. On the one hand, they keep saying that they must respect human rights and guarantee equality. On the one hand, they are pointing fingers at other countries and looking down at them. This in itself creates a paradox.

In fact, any country that can get it out on one hand has a bit of great power chauvinism, especially the United States! In fact, if it were the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, Yugoslavia at the end of World War II, and us during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, all of them may have produced such works, or better than this.

Maybe it's because I'm still young and have no religious beliefs. I don't know what the officer who escorted Chance was always taking out Chance's belongings, such as crosses, necklaces, watches, etc. from time to time at every stop. . Is it simply a memory of the deceased or something else?

In short, I don't think this short film can be regarded as a classic. If you have any ideas, please give me some pointers.

    Movies like this make it hard not to compare one's own country with another's. War is always evil because it is often not those who wage war who bear the sacrifices necessary for war; the difference is that some governments know how to respect the value of sacrifice, while others do not. In addition, it reminds me of the blockbuster many years ago, Saving Private Ryan. You can call them the main theme of the United States, but it is stronger than that of a certain country.

    Solemnity, solemnity, and glory are what America gives to soldiers who die in battle.
