Irish Story

After watching the movie, I cried. It wasn't for death, it was because he couldn't go back after all. He kept saying that this was not an American story, but an Irish story. But there are many Irish fairy tales, not all of them are so sad.
He likes to listen to the dance music played by the brisk Scottish bagpipes in the movie. Only at that moment can he truly be without fatigue and confusion. Although he is strong, he is immature and happy like a teenager who has just passed the bar mitzvah.
There was always confusion in his eyes, when he was in the middle of the day, when he was acting as ordered, and when he was dying, every confusion pushed him to death. A person like him should not be confused, bloodthirsty killing seems to be a normal life. But by the way, he is a good man. He kept saying to the police, you are a good man. But isn't he a good man himself? If he wasn't a good guy, could he end up in police Tom's arms without being shot?
Americans always try to use their own understanding to interpret the wars of other countries, but they do not understand the real wars themselves. A firm belief is an unparalleled sincere thought, and it is not easy to give up if you give up. Of course, Americans have their own advantages. They at least know what warmth is, and at least they will insert the tenderness that should be harmonious between people in an otherwise cruel movie.
What I believe now is not what Brad Pitt said. It's still an American story, I think, albeit with a touch of Irish firework.
