We know that in most war movies, the most important descriptions of war are shocking war scenes and gripping plots. After watching them, the audience will be full of enthusiasm.
But there is another type of war movie, which describes not war scenes, but life around the background of cruel wars, such as "Schindler's List", "Jojo's Whimsical World", "Life is Beautiful", etc., which are based on cruel wars. Surrounding movies.
Indirectly describes the cruelty of war, and although war is cruel, human nature is kind and beautiful.
For war-themed movies, there should be another category, that is, war memoirs, or movies that describe the follow-up of war.
The "Last Strike" that this article is about to introduce is such a movie, which focuses on winning honor for the heroes who rescued their comrades and sacrificed in war.
Based on real stories, great deeds, touching
"Last Strike" is based on a true story. The story protagonist Pearson Bagh of the USAF Pararescue, the U.S. Air Force Pararescue, participated in a rescue mission in Operation Abilene during the Vietnam War.
During the mission, Spielberg personally went down to the ground to rescue his severely injured comrades. In order to rescue more comrades in arms, Spielberg exposed himself to the enemy's fire regardless of safety, which eventually led to his death.
Pilsenbagh performed more than 300 field rescue missions during the Vietnam War. Because of his bravery, he was awarded the Air Force Cross after his sacrifice.
However, because it belonged to the Air Force Rescue Team, not the ground forces of the Abilene Battle at that time, the attributes were not clear for reasons, and it missed the highest honor-Medal of Honor.
But his comrades-in-arms and those who had been saved by him never gave up to fight for the Medal of Honor for him.
After roughly 30 years, this heavy task fell to the ambitious government aides Scott Hoffman.
Initially, Scott didn't pay much attention, but treated the matter as a task arranged by his superiors.
But in his continuous investigation and interview, he discovered the significance of this matter.
In the end, he even risked losing his prospects to fight for the Medal of Honor, the country's highest honor for Pearson Bagh.
The effort paid off. Fortunately, through the continuous efforts of Scott and Pearson Bagh’s former comrades and the people they rescued, in the end, in 2000, Pearson Bagh was awarded the Medal of Honor, and the honor of heroes was demonstrated.
"Last Strike" tells the whole process of hero honor application, let us see the promotion of hero justice.
Although there are war scenes in the movie, it is more of an effort to show the honor of heroes.
As for why it is called "Last Strike", we can also see the reason in the movie.
Because Pilsenbagh’s father had terminal cancer and died soon, but his wish to win honor for his son has not yet been fulfilled.
It is against this background that Scott races against time, sorts out the ins and outs of events, and collects information.
Finally, before the death of Pilsenbagh's father, he won the highest honor Medal of Honor for Pilsenbagh, fulfilling the wishes of Pilsenbagh's parents.
Heroes need to be remembered, and the deeds of heroes need to be remembered. Of course, the honor of heroes should also be displayed.
The result after the last fight is the best gift for the hero
Through 34 years of unremitting efforts, Pearson Bagh was finally awarded the Medal of Honor, the country's highest honor, and Pearson Bagh's deeds have been remembered by more people.
Subsequently, a sculpture commemorating the deeds of Pilsen Bagh was built. This last fight brought honor to the hero and established a good value orientation for everyone.
Use Pearson Bagh's deeds to inspire more people, make everyone more believe in the power of justice, and be more courageous to defend justice.
I think this is the best gift for heroes!
