The pain caused by the war

The glory and benefits brought about by war belonged to a few people, but the pain and injury caused by it were greater and deeper in scope. The praise of justice and heroes has become synonymous with superficiality and superficiality in current war films. Movies that explore the fate of small people in war from a broader perspective are often more moving.

The purpose of war is always profit, whether it is just or unjust. The final result of a war often runs counter to the purpose. However, since mankind, wars have never stopped. As the level of civilization increases, the consequence is that the level of warfare also continues to increase, with greater lethality.

The Messenger is a movie with a very unique perspective, which reminds me of another more touching "Brother" I saw last month. Sensitive and delicate, it is easy to reflect on the suffering caused by war from such movies.
