I don't need to become a hero, I love you too, there is sunshine and shadows, whoever is distressed

You say it helps to hone his character, can't he be a man at home? Hank, my two sons, can't you keep one for me?
Both parents love you, but in different ways. The father hopes that you can become a man in the sky after leaving him, and the mother said, why should my son leave.
Soldiers in the tents of the military camp were crying while holding their phones, soldiers who tortured wounded prisoners for fun, soldiers who killed their children and turned away, soldiers who came to hone their will, and soldiers who left in a dark mood.
All wars are unjust. When our moral standards are bound in peacetime, when the teacher's teaching changes from helping others, being kind to others, and becoming a hero who kills more, people's moral outlook is bound to be distorted. On the battlefield during wartime, a good smile one second before, and a brain bursting the next second. When our own destiny is out of our control, the psychological imbalance caused by intense fear and anger can inadvertently make us manic.
Taking drugs, visiting prostitutes, and any self-indulgence stems from dissatisfaction with real life. Since life is already rotten like this, it might as well be worse. The comrades-in-arms who originally lived and died sometimes fought was also a way to vent their dryness, but this time it was a bit big. The soldiers who came back from the battlefield have indeed become tough, but this toughness is reflected in the dismemberment and burning of their comrades, and then safely using his credit card to eat the chicken set meal. Why let the child take on the task of killing giants? He can do it, but it doesn't mean he can afford it.
Hank sent his son into the army to hone his will, and now the army seems to be far from what he imagined. A veteran who still maintains a militarized routine and hangs the flag upside down, yes, he is disappointed.
The film's director and screenwriter Paul Haggis, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron, and even Susan Sarandon, who has a small role in the film, opened their resumes and wrote the two big characters Won Oscar together. So naturally there are high expectations. Good screenwriters always add some sidelines next to the main issue to give the plot a sense of depth. For example, Emily has always been very dissatisfied with letting her handle small cases such as dog abuse cases, and despite the repeated emphasis of the reporter, insisting that it is not worth filing a case, until death occurs. Emily once questioned her superiors, if your child was dismembered, burned, and eaten by animals as soon as they came back from Iraq, you wouldn't be satisfied that the case ended like this. Just like Emily couldn't understand why the informant insisted that drowning a dog's husband alive would be so dangerous. Yes, you think that the big things may not be worth mentioning to others, and this does not need to be raised to the issue of human nature, it is just that who's who is distressed.

    Paul Haggis obviously thinks this roadside scene is very useful. The last "Crash" also happened here... It involves prisoner abuse, stupid soldiers, murder, and family... "Falling the flag means international crisis, Means in big trouble, come and save us, because we are in hell and there is no priest to redeem ourselves!" "Why did the king send David to fight giants? He's just a child."  …

    Novelty, too much like a crisis under fire; it's impossible for Jones' father to be untouchable
