The main point of view of the film starts from the blood of soldier Murphy when he joined the army, and after he actually participated in the war and experienced scenes of tragic scenes, until he could not get out of the cruel shadow of the war, and fell down step by step.
Murphy and Battelle, whom Sergeant Sterling regarded as personal soldiers, went hand in hand during their stay in Iraq and experienced many fierce battles together. But when the flesh-and-blood comrades around him fell, when there was an attack at any time in the camp or patrol, when the girl he loved was shelled and died in his arms, Murphy's psychology appeared a great gap. .
The brutality of the war and the unpredictable death made the 18-year-old more and more haggard, and even wished he had never lived. But the established facts are already in front of us, and I have to drag my morbid body and mind to routine patrols every day, especially after the girl I love died in his arms, there is still no change in daily life, so I want to be silent. The idea of "disappearing" is getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, the opportunity came during an inspection mission, and Murphy "disappeared" without knowing it, dragging his hazy body.... His departure has made Sterling and Battelle miserable, and it has also led to the stage of the tragic life of the two in the future...
The film is still an anti-war theme, but the narrative technique is still relatively new. The time lines before and after the two wars are constantly interspersed, revealing the truth of Murphy's "disappearance" step by step, and also revealing that the two comrades did not hesitate to go to court-martial to meet Murphy's last "quiet disappearance" wishes. The fact that he died tragically! ! !
Although the dead are gone, the living can no longer be like this! ! ! As a result, the two who "couldn't get out": one kept avoiding, and the other slept wildly after drinking all day. In the end, Sergeant Sterling committed suicide with a gun, and Battle was squatted in the Army prison.
In fact, as a soldier, Murphy undoubtedly suffered from a serious traumatic illness; but as an eighteen-year-old boy, what he experienced was cruel compared to his peers. Sex and Tragedy. But Murphy was a soldier after all at this time, and it was because of his detachment from the team that he was kidnapped by the so-called "terrorists", and finally died tragically. To be honest, I have seen videos of Islamic extremist groups killing so-called infidels. The degree of cruelty is outrageous. It is not difficult to see the degree of abuse of Murphy's body, and the process of being tortured to death can be described as extreme! ! !
The tragic death of Murphy also made it impossible for Sterling and Battle to "come out" in the future. Sterling finally chose to "quit the game" and committed suicide by shooting himself, which is completely the result of being burdened by the post-traumatic sequelae of war every day!
In fact, when Battelle saw the scene of his ex-girlfriend lingering with others, and recalled the scene of "sending away" Murphy in the water, he also wanted to commit suicide by drowning, but was rescued...! ! ! That's where the conversation he had with Mrs. Murphy later...
Battle, who said everything, seemed to have a little peace on his face. Under Mrs. Murphy's continued questioning, the scene of Murphy dancing with the girl he liked last described by Bartell may be the only comforting scene that everyone wanted to hear... even if it was imagined by Bartell The scene that Murphy most wanted to have but was shy and stopped...
