"Why did David deal with the giant Goliath when he was just a kid"
An anti-war film, more precisely an anti-Iraq war film.
In the film, the process of dealing with the father's attempt to find out the truth about Mike's murder is complicated and confusing, and at the moment when the truth is revealed, it is lighthearted. It is the most prominent plot setting.
The slight deficiency is that in order to emphasize the impact of war on the soldiers participating in the war, the characters of each plot involved in the play are related to active or retired soldiers, which may feel a little too much.
