cowardice, shame, pride, growth, Reivew on The Four Feathers

Revisiting the film because of Heath Ledger's departure. It's a pretty good movie, but after watching it for a long time, it's a little unclear, so it's not all because of Ledger that I watched it again. The very clear themes are placed in the background that can highlight these themes. The sun never sets the imperial army to send troops to Sudan with the will of "God". Isn't it.) Chose to resign from the military and receive four feathers from three friends and his lover. In fact, the director is a person with clear thinking. The reason why he thinks this way is because he shows the theme of the film, a person's cowardice, shame, pride, and growth from a good angle, and the level is clear. Given the title of the film, at least the central idea is clear.
In addition, the director expressed some of his own views on the huge, long-term and complex subject of war. Although there is no clear position, it is appropriate to stop. It is indeed impossible for someone to use a movie to show the whole of the war, right? , let alone a film whose central theme is not war. "This war cannot make heroes." I don't think any human war can create heroes. Jack said it well. In the end, we fight for the man on our left and we fight for the man on our right.
I feel that the director also tried to show the religious aspect. However, only some fragmentary pieces are presented, and there are no key statements. I got the impression that I was pretty sure this was a Western movie, hehe.
To sum up, just looking at the theme, it is a good film about showing cowardice, shame, pride, and the growth of a man, but the surrounding things are also a bit confusing, such as love, God, etc. What is this? The wars and so on are only displayed and piled up. Sometimes people feel that they want to teach people to treat things with Christian creeds, and sometimes people feel that they are questioning them. I want to say that it is necessary to express it maturely when it is involved, otherwise it is better not to touch it at all, but it is indeed a waste of such a subject.
This is probably the reason why it is only hovering on the edge of classic after all.
