This is obviously a symbolic drama, the purpose is to review the war in Afghanistan. Since the war in Afghanistan is different from the war in Iraq, the mistake of finding weapons of mass destruction in the Iraq war has become a well-known thing to American citizens and can be discussed openly in the United States. And the war in Afghanistan is a just war in the hearts of the American people. Therefore, it is inconvenient for the director to openly raise different viewpoints, only through such symbolic means to make metaphors. The film begins with references to bases, atomic weapons, and mysterious people. This mysterious man symbolizes the Afghans who were liberated by the American people in the imagination. The American soldiers went to Afghanistan for the sake of the country, but they found nothing, and did not encounter any real enemy, but they gave so many lives in vain. , In the end, a thoughtful person found that there was no real enemy at all, and only found a vague and unclear thing. This is similar to the Afghan war. The United States took Afghanistan without much effort. Encountering a real adversary, their target base (symbolizing the nuclear weapons mentioned in the film) disappears and disappears, and it turns out that Afghanistan is a sacred and complex place, and its collective consciousness is mixed with various complex components, including former With the legacy of the Soviet Union, such a country cannot be governed by an effective government, whether by military or cultural means. They are like mysterious algae fields that will slowly and invisiblely devour all your soldiers. In the end, the expert went crazy, which means that the U.S. government is confused, and has not found any meaningful clues from it. It does not even know whether the war is just or sinful, just like the mysterious substance in the film, neither like Gods are not like demons either.
