War is also a siege, some people want to go in, some people want to come out

Taking advantage of the raging epidemic, I revisited the time at home and saw some places that were different from the first time I saw it.

War is like love, and there are sieges, some people want to leave, some people want to stay. As the protagonist, he is deeply involved in the shooting dream of joining the army as a sniper and the struggle of leaving home and fearing that his girlfriend will leave him, so he always hopes to leave as soon as possible. The irony is that when he joined the army, his observers actually falsified materials and entered the army with a clean identity. During the Iraq War, he desperately needed to make military exploits and tried to stay in the army, but in the end he failed to do so, so he had to After returning to China, he resumed his old life, and finally passed away tragically.

War can bring out the most vulnerable side of people. On the battlefield, the protagonist's inner struggle, not knowing that he is far from his girlfriend, afraid of being derailed, and suffering from the loneliness and unbearable life in the military, has to vent through continuous foul language, masturbation and other behaviors. The teammate neglected his duty on Christmas Eve, so that he had to accept the punishment of burning the excrement of the entire team, and then went to his teammates to settle accounts, and almost killed the teammates. At that time, the protagonist's heart was broken.

The black captain of the protagonist, who believes in God wholeheartedly, wants to blaspheme the saints in his heart in front of the soldiers, and the infidel when he reads Saddam's letter to the people, is it not himself. Later, I had the opportunity to chat with the protagonist why he gave up the superior life in China. He actually loved being a soldier and lived such a life. I think his heart must be full of struggles.

The Iraq War, as a modern war with a large number of high-tech participation, as the soldier in the movie said, the plane pushed the front line so far, as a Marine Corps sniper, there are not many opportunities left. It is not without irony that a war was never fought on the battlefield.

In the film, there are places where the strength of the U.S. military is demonstrated, that is, the intensive bombing of fighter planes, and there is also a place where the face is obviously slapped. The cruelty of war is also quietly displayed in all corners of the film all the time, from the suppression of human nature, to the bombardment of the fleeing crowd, the tragic image of being burned to death, to the subsequent oil well fire, which is covered with oil. dark face. War, not only to people, but also to the desecration of the earth, I think this is also the biggest theme of the whole film - anti-war.

    It's cold and humorous, but it's not that humorous, and it's thoughtful, but it doesn't give any depth. . . something didn't come out
