War is everywhere. Damaged things are difficult to repair. The water pipe was destroyed by a suicide bombing at the last moment when it was repaired, and the local people who were willing to help repair it also died.
It is even more difficult to establish trust between people. The contact between the US military and several types of local people, translators, chiefs, school leaders, engineers, and even hostile forces are incomprehensible, difficult to communicate, and permeates the film.
What about human pursuits and ideals? The hero finally wanted to stay and continue to complete the task. It is not that his consciousness has been improved, but the death of his comrades and civilians one after another, which stimulated him and has severely destroyed his psychology. He seems to have "obsession." , But this obsession is impossible to achieve, and even meaningless.
He could be said to be numb at the time. Before boarding the plane and returning to China, he said that he didn't feel much, and the major said: Someday you will feel it. But it's not just the "good fucking day" in the lines, that kind of war sequelae will accompany him all the days of his life.
All those who have witnessed the war cannot escape this calamity.
