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.
