The film begins with a bright rural landscape, which sets a bright tone for the film. Later, with a coherent and trivial narrative, the father's thoughts, beliefs, and the unforgettable past events are slowly presented to the viewers. The concept of War is wrong can also be better accepted. In this respect, the son is full of vitality, eager to take risks, and full of courage. He admires his father very much, but he wonders why his father will not let him fight with the little gangsters who are embarrassing and embarrassing him.
After his father passed away due to a mine disaster, the fight between children in the tree house was the focus of the director’s expression. The comparison of the previous very brief Vietnam War scenes through children’s fights interprets his philosophy. War has swallowed everything about humans, and humans can understand war. , But war will never understand human beings. Personally, I think the shot of my son looking around the fighting scene is a bit awkward, probably because the director wants to highlight this contrast too much, minus one star.
In the film, the daughter, her partner, mother, and the big house at auction are the plot successors, and the plot arrangement is very reasonable. And each has their symbol. The house symbolizes hope. The daughter and mother are the roles of the benevolent and the wise, and they are handled very well.
A very typical American film, calling for anti-war and the American dream values of the 90s, it is worth watching.
