Perhaps the way the eldest son died was taken as an accident by him. Like a traffic accident, it still doesn't help him realize the nature of war. Maybe the younger son didn't die in the way he did in the movie or it didn't help the father realize that. Well, all I can say is that such an extreme and violent death was absolutely necessary for this father.
A father can accept his son's depravity and crime because of the war. I think what he can't accept is that his son was killed by his comrades who were born and died for no reason because of the psychological damage caused by the war. And this kind of damage was caused by the war, and it was also what my father had neglected. The father roared at the policewoman, saying that the policewoman did not understand war and the feelings of soldiers. It is determined that his son will never be killed by his comrades. So the shock of the truth is enough to destroy his faith and persistence for many years. Make him understand that any war is wrong.
For him personally, the reasons for this change were brutal. But the death in the film is not enough for the country and the class of fathers who can rule it.
In fact, after watching it, I feel that the film should be more refined, shorter and perhaps more impactful. Although the old soup is old, but the style is still there. The pleats look not too different from Men in Black.
