This is my war, abandoned by war.
Pot Cover Head is an anti-genre war movie with a happy-to-sad tone. After reading the story, I still couldn't understand what Mendes wanted to express in those scenes in the desert. Looking back, I watched it a second time, and I felt that Mendes might be trying to express the depressing feeling of soldiers in war.
As the team prepares to dig a sleeping hole in the oil field, Kurt finds the body of an Arab and considers him a friend. Antony even saw a horse in the desert covered in oil, which in itself is impossible. So this horse is what Antony came up with. And why Kurt and Antony are like this, it is very likely that the sense of depression brought by the war has nowhere to be placed. If you think about it in this way, it also explains that those charred corpses (it can be inferred from the clothing that they may be friendly forces) are most likely the work of friendly fighter planes, and the pilots are also worried about this sense of oppression. Trapped. There are two points to prove it. The first was that the squad was also bombed by friendly fighter jets. (How can a soldier who arrives at the station not be able to tell the difference between enemy and friendly forces?) Second, the bombed car still emits smoke, indicating that it may have just been bombed, but the team has not found the enemy nearby. In the last party in the desert because of the victory, everyone shot empty guns at the sky, which was a kind of catharsis.
He went to the battlefield with his blood full of blood, but who would have never fired a rifle or even seen the shadow of the enemy. (The only Arab "I didn't kill him, but he is dead.") Some people can come back to society from the battlefield, but how many people can get out of the battlefield?
A man who has been firing a rifle for years goes to war, and then he comes home knowing that no matter what he does in his life, build a house, caress a woman, change a baby's diaper, he will always be the hood.
