Who is more painful

In the war, who can tell which type of talent is the most painful? Is it a soldier born to death, an innocent civilian who has been ravaged by war, and a family member who has lost a loved one forever? Or soldiers who have no real chance to go to the battlefield or soldiers who have to go to inform the family of the deceased about the death? Anyone who has anything to do with war, who can get rid of those psychological and physical suffering, is like a kind of poison, melted in the bones, and can only carry it forward.

The film starts the story with the perspective of the service team "Injury Notice"—a group in a subtle and awkward position in the war. The rhythm is slightly delayed, but the sadness gradually grows as the image slowly advances. Participating in a war is a pain, but you have to tell others when, where, and how their loved ones died on the battlefield, and what kind of torture is to the soul? I have always felt that the starting point of [Saving Private Ryan] is that the US military itself really can’t do it anymore to notify the mother and the desperation caused by the death of another son, so Ryan must be allowed to go home anyway. , Even if you have to notify the family members of the other 6 soldiers in the 8-member group. They don’t have to face death, but they have to endure varying degrees of grief caused by death. The family members may be calm or crazy. Even the veterans who have memorized the preaching to the numbness will have to hesitate when they don’t know how to deal with it. , Their every mission, the blow is no less than the injuries suffered on the battlefield.

The family members waiting for the soldiers at home are not painful. The soldiers fought bloody battles. They were frightened at home. The most feared was that they saw such two soldiers coming straight up, and they had guessed before they opened their mouths. Some people choose not to accept it, while others are relieved. Most of them cry bitterly and can't say a few words. To a certain extent, those "girlfriends" who abandon their soldier boyfriends and make new loves are deserters who can't bear this psychological torture and give up. They only want to pursue a moment of peace.

There are not many actors, few lines, and a very slow rhythm. The camera stays on Ben Foster 75% of the time. A cynical and a bit violent face. This time the treatment is very quiet, even for the biggest outbreak. It was also silently smashing the wall, and it was not too much of a speech at the wedding of the ex-girlfriend. The last cry of Woody Harrison shows that he really lives better and more freely in the small film, and the second line also shines. There is also Uncle Bushmy, the supporting role who played twice, no longer wins with a stranger, sadly convincing.

In the face of war, everyone is a loser.

    Because the war between the gods and horses has existed since ancient times, and we have never been separated from human society for a moment. We try to reflect on it, but we still cannot reflect on why, and the war still exists.

The Messenger quotes

  • Captain Tony Stone: You a head case?

    Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: No, sir.

    Captain Tony Stone: I surely hope not.

  • Captain Tony Stone: One more thing. You do not touch the Next-of-Kin. Avoid physical contact, unless it's a medical emergency, like they're having a heart attack or something. You're representing the Secretary of the Army, not Will Montgomery, so in case you feel like offering a hug or something... don't.

    Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: [sarcastic] I'm not gonna be offering any hugs, sir.
