beat generation

The story of the valley of Elah must have been told to his two sons by the father in the film.

I believe that the character of the father also listened to such a heroic story and joined the army.

The difference is that the young soldiers who came back from Iraq have developed various abnormal psychology and behavior, while the older generation of revolutionaries have to bear the sorrow of sending black-haired people.

Female police detective's young son asks mother: Why should David go to face the giant? He's just a child, isn't he afraid? Mom replied that he was very scared.

Aren't American soldiers going to Vietnam afraid?

It can only be said that the psychological endurance of the new generation of soldiers has been greatly weakened.
War makes people perverted,
old people believe that those who went to war together will not hurt each other,
but the new generation does, without fear or remorse.

It is said that the post-80s generation is the beat generation. It seems that this is not unique to China under the influence of the one-child policy, but a worldwide problem.

If possible, still hope for world peace and don't let war test us.
After all, there are a few people who can realize their value in a hail of bullets as calmly as Brothers.

    It is a novel approach to analyze and reflect on war through a crime.
