Quite a sensational movie.
I just happened to be reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. Compared with the soldiers in the deserted wasteland of World War I in the novel, the treatment behind Chance is too grand. But the fact is that no matter how many medal ribbons are used, no matter how the national flag is wrapped, no matter how high-level the ceremony is, it cannot change the fact that parents lose their children forever. I don't like this movie because I think it's glorified for government propaganda. It does not touch on another important question: those who are the masters of the people, when you decide on a war, do you think about the suffering of thousands of families in the future? Humanity has gone through too many wars, from World War I more than 100 years ago, World War II to the Iran-Iraq war in recent years, etc. These wars have never brought any good news to mankind, but have left a lot of holes. The world is for future generations to repair. The United States, the most civilized country, has always advocated that all people are created equal. If Chance's life is precious, what about other people whose lives have been taken by the United States? Why does the news report how many Americans died for the country, but never hear how many civilians the United States killed by mistake? This movie, in the final analysis, is to whitewash its own values. Politics is all about desires, but unfortunately people don't know what to do, and they happily go to the slaughterhouse wearing garlands.
