At the beginning, I felt a little bit like a certain movie. The retired agent father made another move to rescue his children. It seems to be called "Rescue of the Earth"?
I read inspired by actual events at the beginning, through the process of a military father looking for his missing son, although MIKE did not reveal the front until the end, as the plot gradually deepened, I saw the impact of the Iraq War on ordinary soldiers, A twist on humanity, they should never send heroes to Iraq. They ruined a good young man, but are they just a good young man? MIKE may represent most of the young soldiers and the disaster brought to mankind by war.
From the beginning to the end, there are two more profound episodes. One is when the father drove off to find his son at the beginning, and saw the American flag hanging upside down. He represented the international SOS, and the father deliberately got out of the car and hung it upright. At the end of the film, the father hangs up the old flag that his son sent back. Are they still patriotic? Or resent the state for giving them such a disaster? I don't understand.
And when my father went to the base before returning home, a new child, a new soldier, came to MIKE's bed.
Another clip is after the father told his son the origin of the name MIKE (the hero MIKE, the father's son MIKE, the little boy MIKE, three with the same name), after the father came home, Emily continued to tell the story to her son. , the little boy asked his mother: why let him fight the giant, he is just a child. Do you think he is afraid? Emily: Scared, I think he's scared.
Yes, MIKE is scared, this MIKE and that MIKE.
