Flyboys: War is Merciless, but People are Affectionate

The day before yesterday, I accidentally hit the guide channel and saw this film. I admit that the beautiful scenery there deeply attracted me. The familiar American blockbuster style and magnificent soundtrack, but this is not what I paid attention to. I was thinking about what everyone was thinking when they were in the air. Dreams seem to have turned into the only desire to survive in the war. What did I think in my mind while watching comrades in arms being torn to shreds in front of my eyes? Are you worried about not getting hit? To protect yourself? Want to avenge your best friend?

Cassidy's confrontation with Black Hawk and the final confrontation between Rollins and Black Hawk, like to see them circling and looking at each other, like an ancient Chinese general who signed up one-on-one, full of chivalry and a kind of respect for the opponent. Maybe like a lion, he found that Rollins was like himself before, so he finally gave up. A letter from Rollins explains why he believes that he will continue. His unruly language and seemingly ridiculing language make people see the cruelty of war. The red ribbon on the wing floats again, and the eagle mark of the new and old 2 with knights on the logo soars in the air again, which also pushes the whole movie to a climax.

After the war, Rollins lost his love, and he never flew again, for fear of evoking the man who made him sad. Or the faces of comrades-in-arms who are imprinted in their minds with youthful vitality?
