Speaking of this play, there are no gorgeous scenes, no cool special effects, and no confusing plots. What moves people's hearts is the hero's feelings, his love and loyalty to the country, the protection of his family, and the brotherhood of his comrades-in-arms.
Let’s talk about the country’s innocence first. I believe that not everyone will have such a strong loyalty to the country and passion for defending the country. When the protagonist saw the war report and knew that terrorists were hurting American soldiers, he immediately ran to sign up for the army, and he was 30 years old at that time! Such a feeling of being loyal to the country and serving the country is really rare. The matter of joining the army is not requested by the state, but requested by the protagonist himself. It really embodies the spirit of going to the most dangerous place and going to the place where the country needs it most. This spirit was maintained until the day when he returned home and was killed. He even said that his death was also because of his own patriotism. At the age of 30, for a man, he should get married, have children, and go to work obediently. However, the protagonist is not like this. He chose to go to the SEALs to train himself and train himself to be a sniper. Then he longed to go to the battlefield to heroically kill the enemy. In the play, he never showed the fear of war and death. And compared with him is his younger brother. When they meet, we can see that he returns to the battlefield again and again to snipe the enemy, while his younger brother, the first time he comes back from the battlefield, has already fallen It's like he's lost his soul, and he doesn't want to go back. This is the difference. It can't be said to be the difference between a hero and a coward, but a strong love for the country, a strong feeling of serving the country, not afraid of war, and the spirit of defending the home and the country are indeed necessary for a hero. This is also the reason for becoming a hero. From ancient times to the present, there is no hero praised by the world who is not loyal to the country and has the courage to sacrifice himself, such as Wen Tianxiang, Yue Fei, and Lin Zexu.
Second, is the protagonist's desire to protect the family. Of course, compared with the state, the family is the first level in the eyes of the protagonist. Received the notice of expedition at the wedding, the honeymoon only took three days to leave, and every time I go home soon, I have to go on the second, third, and fourth expeditions. But on the other hand, he also misses his wife and his children very much. Even when he is on a sniper mission, he will call his wife, and he always smiles and is very intoxicated. You can see a soldier's nostalgia for love and affection. Unfortunately, I can't accompany my wife and children all the time, which is undoubtedly the biggest regret of the military family. This is also the reason for the conflict between the male protagonist and his wife in the play. On the one hand, the wife must hope that her husband is always by her side, but on the other hand, the husband has to go to war. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. And even after returning from the expedition, he was absent-minded, obviously not adjusting to his normal family life. Although the male protagonist is at home, all he thinks about is the battlefield. Even if he hears some noisy sounds, he will have a bad feeling. Including his own sheepdog just playing with the children, but he actually wanted to kill the dog, frightening the family. I guess this is the aftermath of the war. It really takes time and courage to complete the transition from the battlefield to the family. Just like returning home from the last expedition, he did not go home the first time, but drank outside and did not tell his wife, because he was aware of the problem himself and needed self-regulation and did not want to affect the family. . But fortunately, in the end, he reintegrated into the family and got out of the haze of the battlefield. But it's a pity, just as I was about to start a good life when I got home, I was killed by a veteran. I don't know if this is an irony, even if he is a hero, even if he is a comrade in arms, he would want to kill him.
The last thing to talk about is the relationship between him and his comrades, it is really a fiery brotherhood. The friendship between soldiers is probably deeper and more intimate than that of ordinary people. Because everyone was born and died, charged into battle, trained together, went from a rookie to an experienced soldier, suffered hardships and sins, and experienced struggles big and small. Naturally, their feelings are not comparable to ordinary people. So, when one of their comrades is killed, their fighting spirit will increase once, and every time they see a soldier fall, their anger will increase by one point. Before coming out, he visited his comrade-in-arms and promised him that he would kill the opponent's sniper, but when the male protagonist knew that his comrade-in-arms died on the operating table, he really regretted that he had to kill the enemy quickly. That's why the male protagonist in the back has to shoot even if the enemy is 2,000 meters away. Even if he can't see the enemy's face, he can feel that he has a special sense of power. He didn't shoot for meritorious service, not to win favor, not to show how good his marksmanship was, and not to kill him. He wanted to kill the opponent's sniper too much. Because of this man, so many of his brothers died. He thought it was him. He is obliged to kill the other party, avenge the brothers, breathe a sigh of relief for the brothers, in order to prove that he will avenge the brothers if he does what he says. So he knew that he would expose his position after shooting, and he shot without hesitation, because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. He couldn't wait, he really wanted to avenge his brother, even if he took his own life. Only under Jiuquan did he have the face to see his brother. True temperament! Really hero!
I have to say, this is a really good movie, real, touching,
