You can think of this film as a promo, or as we call it: a theme movie. As a movie about the inner feelings of the characters, Escort Chance lacks real strength. From beginning to end, it's just a story of a civilian officer volunteering to escort the body of a soldier he doesn't know back to his hometown, which is quite flat. But from the perspective of the so-called "main theme" movie that promotes patriotism, this film is quite good: it creates a solemn and solemn atmosphere, so that the audience will not focus on the frivolous "being a soldier for the motherland". concept, but a deep understanding of the respect of the country and the people for those who died for the country - completely irrelevant to parties, interests, and ideology. In the final analysis, this is the respect for people and life, the affirmation of a certain meaning or value. In this increasingly nihilistic society, this film shows the precious simplicity and tradition. When you see the vehicles on the road consciously clear the way for the coffined cars and turn on their headlights, you will forget that this is an American movie, only moved by its sincerity and delicacy: what is contained in the serious form Things are more moving than slogans.

People who are not Americans will really question how deeply patriotic feelings will arise when watching this film, and respect life. But I think the filming is a bit fake, some scenes are very unnatural and too vulgar, such as the part of the retired veteran, plus the hypnotic atmosphere of the British class, and also write a 100-word summary= =

The main theme of the United States, but the level is much higher than that of the chicken country

Rich Brewer: Nobody in my family's in the military and none of my friends. But I thought about joining up. Yeah, but I was too chickenshit.
[chuckles, then silence]
Rich Brewer: Sorry, I mean too chicken.
LtCol Mike Strobl: You can say shit.
Rich Brewer: Oh, cool. And plus the whole haircut thing. I'm in a band and, you know, you gotta keep it long to keep the ladies happy.

1st Lt. Dan Robertson (Chance Phelp's platoon commander): [voiceover, from his 09 April 2004 letter to the Phelps family] It's ironic, but I am certain that if the world had more men like Chance Phelps, there wouldn't be a need for a Marine Corps.
