The whole film is a leisurely account of the incident. There are hardly any hot scenes, but there is a lot of deep space for the audience to think about behind the incident.
The film tells the story of a retired military policeman who went to find his son who was missing after returning from the Iraqi battlefield. After finding his body, he continued to find the truth of his son's death. The theme is still a reflection on the war.
There is no doubt that the director of the film is first-class, and the acting skills of the starring old Tommy Lee Jones are undoubtedly superb, and they are just right and tepid. As the plot progresses, the terrifying effects of war on soldiers are revealed little by little. The alienation of human nature, the numbness to death, pain, blood and life, have reached their extremes in these things. While solving the case, it is also the beginning of the protagonist and even the audience's mood falling to the bottomless abyss.
Where is hope? The video doesn't answer.
