Taking Chance

The film is only 77 minutes long. In one night, I cried all the way to read it.
The plot is really simple: escort dead soldiers back home.

During the screening of the film, it kept reminding me of "The Undertaker". Both films show respect for the dead. But in comparison, I love this movie more. There is no cumbersome feeling for a minute and a second. A clean story. An overwhelming sense of solemnity. Uncontrollable sadness.

In the film, almost every scene moved me.

During the heavy rain, soldiers lined up to escort the remains. In the forensic department, the doctors did their best to restore the appearance of the body, cleaned his body, and put on the most suitable military uniform. On the way, everyone expressed their deep and sincere respect for him. In particular, the countless cars in the film spontaneously line up with their lights on to transport the remains. Suddenly I felt that American soldiers were happy enough. It's worth it for them to guard the country for its people. They earned gratitude and respect.

Fallen leaves return to their roots. Although this is just a ceremony, it carries more than just a ceremony.

    Not to mention the justice of the US-Iraq war, but every detail of Americans' respect for their sacrificed heroes is worth pondering over by the Chinese. Think about the destruction of the Martyrs' Cemetery, think about what happened to the Korean War veterans...a sigh.

    Every life deserves respect. A good movie that is not exaggerated, it is really touching
