Joyful heroes, funny banners

Gu Long said that our heroes are joyous.
Reading Gulong Happy Heroes, even if I didn't cry when I saw this sentence, my heart must have been touched. It is soft like a stone processed by the ancient tomb sect patriarch and mother-in-law Lin Chaoying with chemical raw materials. It can be engraved with a touch. Character.
I try to write a review when I've only seen the film once. It's hard. Clint old man's movie is loaded with too much grudge and grief, and it is not easy to finish singing.

A group of simple young men went to war with the dream of dedicating their lives for the country. They saw with their own eyes that their comrades fell into the water and died, and no boat stopped to rescue them, although it was only a small effort. Their lives are nothing in the eyes of those who gave the order.
Mike is the leader of the squad that directs the attention of the film. The deputy platoon leader didn't have to go to the front line, but he chose to go to the front line. He took his brother's life as seriously as he did. Those who give orders do not value the lives of soldiers, but the soldiers value each other's lives.
The Japanese lured the enemy deep, and soldiers without war experience easily entered the encirclement, and they also erected a flag symbolizing victory. The wrong flag turned out to be a memento for politicians to fight over, so another, more wrong flag was erected. Bewildered reporters filmed the erection of the more erroneous flag, which was promoted as a hero by politicians. Politicians need heroes to defraud ordinary people of their money.
So the three protagonists in the film became the most popular heroes at the moment. It's just that the three protagonists don't consider themselves heroes. It seems to them that the honor belongs to the brothers who fought bloody in every corner of the battlefield, and they cannot embezzle the supreme honor that belongs to each brother.
Soon they discovered that politicians were not giving them real credit. Politicians just want to use them to scam money. No matter how heroic the Indians are in war, they are always inferior in the eyes of white people. No matter how much blood and merit a child from a poor family has shed, it is impossible for them to be accepted by the upper class. Fighting heroes who carry the expectation of making the upper class recognize their family and race have not received the social recognition they deserve because of their bravery. Therefore, the three heroes endured the extreme pain in their hearts, deceived and comforted their own race and their brother's family.
But who can comfort the pain of the three heroes?

There is no one to comfort our hero, who is happy by nature.
