Turning on the TV, a boy went to wake his father for breakfast. His father suddenly woke up from a nightmare. He focused his eyes on him. He was the young Kevin Costner. I stopped switching channels.
The movie has several lines: the summer life of the boy and sister, the difficult reality of the Vietnam War soldiers returning home, and the flashback of the Vietnam War battlefield. What the director wants to say is that war is useless except for harm: hurting others, hurting yourself, and hurting everything you can't think of. If love is lost, the world is meaningless.
Why am I crying? Because the father who went to the battlefield thought he was doing good deeds, he did not expect the war to be devastated in his heart, but he doubted the meaning of the war. After returning, he lost his house and lost stable job opportunities. When he was frustrated, he was unwilling to let the children. Affected by their own situation, I don’t want them to feel abandoned by the world; they don’t drink or complain under difficult circumstances, and work hard to earn money by doing odd jobs; they are also full of pursuit of relative beauty in a situation that is worse than before. In order to tell his son that war cannot solve the problem, he shared the most painful nightmare in his heart with his son, and the son ran over to embrace his father's soft heart and wept... This is not a human being, this is simply the perfect god in the director's heart. I don't know whether it was the greatness of personality or the sincerity of emotion that moved me. In addition, my father’s wife’s consideration and support for her husband wakes me up a lot-if you are sure that your partner is a good person, if you are sure that the two are in love, you will always support him. This is the real happiness. .
Thinking of the current war in Libya from the movie, Westerners’ universal values say that one has no right to deprive others of their lives, and therefore they criticize our country’s death penalty system. It is a pity that they only use such values on their own people. If they really hold this view all the time, they will not bomb Libya. It is the life of others, whether he is a civilian or a soldier. You can say that I don't like Gaddafi, so ignore him and don't do business with him. It is a pity that politicians abuse this precious value when they need to benefit themselves or attack others. Maybe there are many anti-war films like "The War" every year, maybe they are too pure in themselves, they must pass by the politicians and cannot clean their hearts.
Politicians are always disappointing, but artists always have to experience painful reflections, and they have to work hard to call people for good.
Suffix: The ending of the film is beautiful in the tragedy. It seems unnecessary, but I would like to thank the director for this ending. Maybe he hopes to comfort the people who watch the movie.
