"The Lost: The 9th Eagle": Reclaiming Father's Honor

Adapted from a historical novel in 1945, in the Roman era around AD 140, a young warrior in order to retrieve the scepter totem of his father's lost army, overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally regained his power. The rod restores the honor of the family. This film is about the interpretation of faith, the relentless pursuit of honor and responsibility. The scepter that symbolizes honor cannot be lost in any way, and even if it is lost, it must be found again, because it represents the honor of the real family and even the country. As a man, he should take due responsibility for the whole incident. Even if the father is dead, the son will continue to bear it, and he will go through fire and water to find out the truth.

The male protagonist is played by the handsome Channing Tatum. If you have watched "Special Forces" and "Breakup Letter", you will definitely remember him deeply. Not only is he tall and strong, but also has a beautiful face and an idol style. It is a big pity that there are no beautiful women in this film, and the accompanying boyfriend makes the plot even more ambiguous. . In fact, what he lacks in such a mighty image is some masculinity. Such an epic story of a lone hero should add more power and anger. But the male protagonist's performance from beginning to end without pain or itching makes the whole plot calm, and there is no sense of passion after watching. Maybe the novel is so general and unknown.

One of the episodes is that when the male protagonist regained the scepter, the other party told his father in an unknown language how cowardly he wanted to save his life. Afterwards, the old men again confirmed how heroically his father defended the scepter without being disgraced. From then on, the truth is no longer important, and the iron evidence that the scepter has been recaptured can bury all the stains. Of course, if it is not recaptured, no matter how bloody the defense was at that time, it will become the laughing stock of people. Seeing is believing, people are more willing to believe the facts they see, rather than myths made up. Suddenly I remembered the film "The Banner of the Fathers". Actually, they were not the people who carried the flag, but they were arranged to appear and became real heroes. This is the two sides of things!
