war and hero

I have always disliked watching war movies, because until now I still don't understand why war must be used to solve which problems. But thanks to eastwood for directing a masterpiece, let me appreciate a war movie that is not a war.

In fact, what he wants to discuss is very simple, war and heroes. What exactly is a hero? In fact, they are just the most ordinary people, but when the people need heroes, someone has to come out to give everyone confidence and let us understand the way forward. However, their existence is based on human needs. When you don't need it, a hero is just a passerby around you and me, or you can become a hero as long as the society needs you.

Regarding the war, the director Xiaoxiao used a few bloody shots to tell us the cruelty of the war. Whether it was the suicide of a Japanese soldier or the death of IGGY, death was at that moment, but the war made death eternity at that time. The tears of the mothers of the soldiers are telling us the sorrow of each mother, they are crying about the cruelty of the war, and they are also expressing their dissatisfaction with the war to those decision makers. No one was killed by a bullet so easily. They should have had their own splendid lives.

The old drama bone Eastwood is also getting more and more sophisticated in the direction of the director, using flashbacks and cross-statements to tell us the strong contrast between a peaceful world and war. Maybe only in this way, we will cherish our current stable life more. Can you hear me? Bush?
