Hero, protection, betrayal, death

It is indeed a wonderful movie. Although the story is straightforward, it is interlocking and deeply involved. Are the protagonist’s wife and his younger brother having an affair? Did the former and current male protagonist both get out of the wall for the same reason? Do some protected people in turn hurt their protectors? Does the hero's final death also have his brother's "credit"?
Although the film takes war as the theme and focuses on the contest between the male protagonist and Mustafa, I think the true essence of the film lies in the description of the relationship and contradictions between the shepherd dog and the sheep. Sheepdogs protect the sheep, while some shepherds need to protect another. For snipers, other marines are also their sheep. In order to protect the Marines, the male lead went down the roof and entered the forefront. In order to protect the Marines, the male protagonist has been condemned by his conscience. At the end of the story, the male protagonist went to the hospital due to war trauma syndrome, saw the people he had protected, and finally overcame the psychological shadow to return to normal, the director first suggested again the two people he protected (brother, brother, No matter what might happen between my wife), the ending of the story was immediately subtitled. The shepherd dog was hurt and ended by two kinds of sheep in succession. This may be the biggest theme of the film. The soldiers are bleeding in the front, but the people behind are constantly destroying the beauty guarded by the shepherd's heart.
A person worthy of admiration, sorry.
