"Escort Chance" shows us the last journey of a soldier after his death. From the details, we can get a glimpse of the attitude of the US military and the public towards the soldier who died in battle, especially when he died in a battle that was being invaded by domestic Vietnam. When more and more people are disgusted with war. A 19-year-old soldier, Chance, was just a child in the eyes of the elders, but unfortunately died in Iraq. Second lieutenant Macburn did not have to act as an escort, but he resolutely decided to escort the child's body to his hometown. Mike's choice is a little offbeat in the film, as it's uncommon for an officer to do such a task; but his choice goes with the flow, and he can be seen frowning and depressed as a digitizer of army casualties and resupply. A technocrat, he is also deeply trembling for the tragedy ahead, and his career is more distressed that his advice is not taken seriously. Looking at the constantly beating casualty numbers, he chose to walk with Chance, to a certain extent, to comfort himself. of pain.
Next, the film has been carried out in a gentle and sentimental rhythm, but it always gives people heart-warming strength and moving. The bodies of the deceased, including Chance, were neatly placed in large military planes and transported back to the motherland at a large distance. In the rain, the coffin recipients solemnly paid tribute to their comrades. Facing the corpses that are often unbearable to be seen on the battlefield, the specialized team tried their best to give them the most dignified remains. I like the rhythm and music of the scene very much. The hands of the living gently wash the hands of the dead. Their meticulousness Admirable with effort. Next, Mike walked with Chance. Along the way, he continued to salute solemnly. What was even more touching was the attitude of ordinary Americans. In the film, the background of the political controversy about the war was basically only read by a passenger on the plane. The news of the current affairs of the newspapers passed by, and the whole film did not smell of gunpowder. Americans questioned the government, questioned Bush, questioned the damn war, but they were full of respect for their soldiers, because it was not them who made the mistake, they were just a series of chases. victims of political decision-making. Therefore, we see that after knowing Mike's identity, the flight attendant will present him a blessing amulet. The captain will take the initiative to ask the passengers to let Mike get off the plane first after the plane lands. The passengers not only cooperate, but also pay tribute to the soldier's coffin. . The peculiarity of this film is that it is almost a film without drama, but it still stirs up emotional ripples, and there is no lack of criticism of war, when Mike Lu meets a soldier who is escorting his brother's coffin. , This kind of tragedy and sadness is especially admirable, the brothers are separated in life and death, so close, yet so far.
I know that watching Americans treat the lives lost in a foreign war with such sadness, some people will sneer at it, and think that Americans are pretending to be indifferent and only know how to miss the people who have sacrificed themselves, while ignoring the lives lost in other countries in the war. many lives. However, as a film, the filming process will undoubtedly bring the angle of its role, and it is impossible to cover everything. The valuable thing about this film is that it is based on one side, but it expresses a country's values and outlook on life and death. These children who died on the battlefield were also victims of war, and this nation took their final journey forward in a way that was truly about the dignity of the individual. There was no ostentatious national commemoration, day and night, what we saw was that Mike walked quietly through the land and sky of the United States with Chancellor's body, and what he received was the spontaneous and heartfelt respect of the people. It can be said that this is an American theme film through and through. It is to heal the wounds and pains of the Americans, and to provide emotional comfort to the military relatives who lost their loved ones in the war. The American perspective and American values are permeated in it, but it It also has a strong infectious power, so that you may denounce its hypocrisy, but you cannot ignore a country's respect for at least its own people's lives. Inadvertently, the export of American values is naturally completed in this way.
For a war, there are various angles of interpretation. Escort Chance gave me a very pure experience, seeing the death of an American soldier, and his return home in a very dignified way, accompanied by Mike's spiritual Healing. Among them, the touching of countless details also made me naturally sublimate this emotion in my heart, beyond the background of war, beyond ideology, beyond serious international political analysis, in less than 80 minutes, I focused my feelings on one Lost life, learn how to respect, how to care, how to deal with the dead and the living life.
