Uprising, or the call of the wild?

After watching it for half an hour, I thought of "Hotel Rwanda". He is also a black man, a family man who loves his family, his wife, works hard, and doesn't care about politics. He was also involved in a real situation. Political whirlpools, like Lin Chong going to Liangshan, were forced.
But when I saw the back, I couldn't help thinking about "The Great Fox Dad", maybe this is a man's inner choice. A good man with a sense of responsibility lives a regular but dull life every day for the sake of his family, but he is also a wild man, just like the fox who always wants to make another vote. Patrick left his beloved wife and children with infinite longing and concern, and went to a wider world to fight for the truth in his heart. He had sorrow and helplessness in his heart, but in the battle, he seemed so Heroic, full of strength and charm, maybe he also has a lot of happiness in his heart? Although he has left his loved one, he has also escaped the jealousy, jealousy, and incomprehensible family chores, which makes a man more masculine. The docile dog in "The Call of the Wild" finally returned to a wolf that "wows proudly to the west". What is the wildness that humans want to return to?
Of course, I have no intention to say that the film wants to express this meaning, it is purely my personal feeling at the moment. I think the film is more about expressing serious political issues. I also have no intention of arguing for the legitimacy of war, just a little thought about human nature.
Going back to the film itself, there is much to admire and explore. Music is nice. Setting up an opposite character outside of Patrick, the legend of two characters, two clues, two states of life enrich the film. Patrick's relationship with his wife is also intriguing, and it seems relatively rare to have such soft elements in such a hard movie. The treatment at the end is about revenge and freedom, and liberation makes the film more meaningful.
