In the movie, a businessman sincerely said to the soldiers that we will try our best to use new technology to dig more oil, so that our country does not need to rely on other countries' oil, and can withdraw you from the battlefield.
boom! The lies of defending the homeland and the country have been pierced, and the pretense of bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq has been torn to shreds! What the soldiers risked their lives in Iraq was nothing more than justice, but an atrocity that robbed resources.
The captain said excitedly to the businessman, we like to kill, we are used to killing, you dig your oil, it has nothing to do with us.
But after the businessman left in embarrassment, he said angrily, he is a good man, why should I embarrass him just now.
Among the crowd who greeted and praised these soldiers, this businessman was the only one who was rational and sincere, but if the captain didn't try hard to deceive himself, he would be driving himself and his comrades to a dead end.
The scene of Billy Lynn battling the Iraqi rebels in particular made me feel powerless. In the face of war, two pitiful people like ants are depriving each other of their lives, but this is what they must do. Why? Lynn said to her sister, I am a soldier, this is what I need to do, this is my destiny.
War is a real life for soldiers, a story and a consumer product for ordinary people. It is a source of interests and rights for those in power.
The huge torrent of reality pushes everyone into each other's place, and Lynn has no choice. Every miserable person has no choice about war.
The question of what the relationship between the individual and the war really is is unraveled. The answer is no solution.
