war, Reivew on We Were Soldiers

I still prefer its literal translation to the Soldiers' Manifesto and Vietnam War Loyalty: We were soldiers. Those warriors who are worthy of memory and respect in the past are the theme of the story. Mel has always been a tough guy, and his speech before the battle was as provocative as Braveheart: And I will leave no one behind, dead or alive. We will come home together. Indeed, in the end, he did. It's just that the war is more brutal than expected, for both sides. Human life is weaker than ants at this time. What is the war for? Defending democracy or a game of power, an ideological confrontation or a costly gamble, maybe anything, but there is no doubt that it is a killing machine. As an old Chinese saying goes, a thousand bones will die. War is accomplished by the superior, and the pain is left to the soldiers.
Although it is a typical American heroic war film (ideological problems always exist), there are still some elements of humanistic concern in it. Both American families and North Vietnamese families have suffered huge pains, although when describing North Vietnam, they only focus on An ordinary soldier, used a photo and a diary, but when the person on the last photo received these relics in tears, I think this is an expression of humanity beyond ideology. In war, the family is the only support for the spirit, and to be reunited with the one you love is a huge spiritual belief that transcends everything. Isn't it the same in life, with the one you love, you can support everything, give strength and courage, and fight against all difficulties.
What I don't feel personally is that the story is a little procrastinated, and the second is that Americans always like to shoot war-themed movies with incomparable justice. Other than that, it's worth watching.
