The film is about Colonel Mike escorting the sergeant Chancellor who died in the Iraq War. We will not discuss the nature of the Iraq War. I believe this is not what the film wants to express. The film conveys to us the respect for the life of a sacrificed soldier. The tone of the whole film is very calm, there are basically no ups and downs, but because of this, it reflects the respect for life and the solemnity and awe it brings to us. There is no picture of Chance on the battlefield, not even a shot of his face. Of course, from the description of his comrades, we can tell that he only has half of his head left. I think another reason why the director did not give him a frontal shot Because Chance is a symbol, he symbolizes all the soldiers who lost their lives in the war, no matter which country he is, of course, not including the Japanese devils during the Anti-Japanese War and so on. Everything in the film is a ceremony in the final analysis, so do we humans need a ceremony? need. This ceremony is more to give comfort to those who still exist and affirm what they have done, let us see the meaning of it, and let it be passed on as a kind of spirit. Life and death in the world are inevitable. To understand how we should go, this is the question we need to think about all our lives.
