Before that, it was difficult for me to imagine that during the American Civil War, there would be blacks in the Southern Army, which represented the power of slave-owners, fighting for them, and I never imagined that the Northern Army, which promoted human rights and freedom, would also kill people indiscriminately.
War is irrational. Just like Jack in the film, he went to join the Southern Army, probably just because of friendship. But he seemed to understand during the war that the war is cruel, and their fighting was not very purposeful. When he saw his friend's death and looked down upon him until his comrades shot at him, he strengthened his determination to leave instead of fighting to the end.
I really like the plot of reading letters in the film. Quiet and very impactful. It also promotes the plot.
The ending of the film is also satisfying, and there is no life or death. It's just that everyone understands what they are going to do. Jack has his own home, and Daniel goes to find his mother.
It's like Jack has a line at the back: "There is no right or wrong in this book."
