Love can be so strong

A very delicate love story in a very elegant way. When we watch this movie, we must first put aside the worldly definitions and look at the love between Barry Winchell and Adams.
Just like his beginning, the film reverberates in Adams' beautiful singing, but the director has not forgotten that this film is a memory of the love of a strong and brave soldier. So there's a strong contrast between the days in Barry Winchell's troops and Adams' beautiful singing. The fusion of softness and rigidity is so natural, without losing the tension of this film. The acting skills of the actors are also worthy of our admiration, whether it is the acting of the two main characters, or Barry Winchell's roommate and which underage recruit, they put the characters' elegance and vulgarity; strength and vulnerability; integrity and falsehood ; The characteristics of respect and discrimination are so well deduced.
However, I still can't describe in words the process and scene of the underage recruit who beat Barry Winchell to death and lay in a pool of blood. Because which process is really too long, the long time makes my heart unbearable. This is the truth. It seems that in my mind now, there is still a scene of flickering and fear afterward.
Why is it that people can be so great and yet so insignificant?
I think everyone should experience it for themselves! Because this film is indeed a very good film, very worth watching!
Here I cherish the memory of Mr. Barry Winchell, a real-life adaptation of a true story!
