The mind is a powerful healing tool, what if you lose your mind

After watching the movie, I intuitively think that the ratings in the comment area will have two extremes.

In view of the highly rated "Butterfly Effect" by the director of this film, which is different from "Butterfly Effect", which is fast-paced and has a big brain hole, "Ghost of War" seems to have a compact story.

At first glance, it was a war drama, a horror drama in the middle, a sci-fi drama after that, and a rebirth drama at the end.

In fact, the film obviously uses the influence of post-war post-traumatic sequelae on soldiers and the indictment of war. Through "ghosts", soldiers can't escape the "curse" even if they leave the battlefield.

In the end, is the war destroying people, or is it to prevent the war from destroying people?

Five soldiers were hiding in the storage room, with a bomb at their feet, because their presence was a time bomb that could wipe out the Afghan family at any moment.

The soldiers were originally protecting them from the evacuation, but as a bystander they saw a family being tortured to death. Finally, the daughter of the Afghan family rushed to the soldiers with a bomb. It was a grudge against the war, and they would always follow from the battlefield like "ghosts". The soldier who went back, "If you leave, you will die!"

War is where humanity and hearts are buried. Your body is gone, but your heart will die on the battlefield.

At the end of the movie, the male protagonist returns to the virtual world, and he wants to save his comrades. In my opinion, the innocent people who died in the war will not let them go easily, even if they formalize their problems and become brave to face difficulties, but there is no regret medicine in the world, can the relief in the virtual scene make people Release from reality, which is unknown after all.

Ghosts of War quotes

  • Title Card: This war will not end. With every mile my body and spirit break. Every jolt makes brittle my mind. Each step pulls me further from home until I am the shell of the man that kissed my mother goodbye a forever ago.

    Title Card: And I tense endlessly. Not knowing which will arrive first, the bullet that takes my life or my final chance for redemption. -D. Werner, 18 years old, WWII Private 1st Class
