I can't say it's a good movie, but it still reminds me now and then of the first ten minutes.
Keji, who participated in the jihad, kept executing orders without blinking, killing anyone in the enemy camp, even if the opponent was a woman or a child. Until one day, when he stabbed the weapon into a woman again, this time it seemed that something was aroused. Next, if I remember correctly, he stopped joining the army because of this, and became a bodyguard before meeting this team of witches. What I feel is that when we bury our humanity, or make it numb, we can really do a lot of work on a lot of people. This usually has to wait until the parties bring back these "useless emotions" and recall the "forgotten memories of the past" again, and they seem to finally become human and know what they have done. Alice Miller's "Eve's Awakening" contains many examples of fathers who had incestuous with their daughters. Even if they were caught, they were surprisingly model prisoners in their cells, but after they were released from prison, they committed them again a short time later. People are puzzling, they don't make it feel like they're acting to get out of prison early. Slowly, she discovered that many fathers who would sexually abuse their children also had childhood abused by their own parents, but they were as calm as they were talking about other people's affairs. Psychologists started putting them in healing groups, encouraging them to bring their pasts up. As a result, many people are reminiscent of past abuse, sadness, fear, anger, etc., and then they have empathy and know how much they have done to their daughter to hurt her (they have empathy)
This is the real healing. These injured adults, who were previously forced to obey orders (no feelings, no thoughts, like no soul), finally found themselves back, as a human compassion The heart finally came back, and these fathers could finally love their children.
I think that's why Cage sacrificed himself for the witch in the back. At first, he could stab the enemy with a gun without changing his face. Later, (I don't know how many years he has killed), the conscience in his heart suddenly stopped him as a soldier, and later, it was like atonement. to protect the woman and die.
Dissociation, a traumatized person needs time to slowly recover bit by bit, just like ice in a severe winter, slowly melting. Cage is like that in the movie.
I believe that many post-war soldiers are traumatized, because you have to carry out your mission, but you cannot have personal feelings. The army even uses more unimaginable things to make you wipe out your "useless emotions". Suppose you go to war Now, after the war, are you the same you who came back? "
To be honest, I don't know much about other details of the story, but I remember the first paragraph for 9 years.
It is hoped that more and more people can understand and pay attention to trauma, so that the bright side of human nature can be restored.
