Some people say...If you don’t love America, get out. I love America. You love the American people. But when it comes to the government, my love says stop! The incumbents are embezzled and corrupt, and men rob and prostitutes. We have to show that we can't bear it, and we don't accept it.

Adapted from a true story, but filmed too didactically and too deliberately. Born on the National Day, immersed in traditional Catholic teachings and patriotism (there is no lack of focus on these two in the movie), Tom, who grew up in a typical middle-class American family, joined the army under the inspiration of the government, but suffered physical and The double destruction of the spirit. The narrative continuity of the film is not strong. It uses the three war parades that Tom went through from children to adults as clues, and extracts several important passages in Tom's life to show the destruction of the war (manslaughter of teammates on the battlefield + Wounded, misdiagnosed by a quack doctor in a military hospital) and his transformation of the war stance (from being a staunch fighter who despised anti-war people to participating in anti-war parade speeches, and even to atonement at the homes of dead comrades), his expression was almost direct (corpses everywhere) The Vietnamese village, the filthy and chaotic military hospital, the intoxicated and depraved Mexican veteran's retreat), there are also a lot of preaching paragraphs, basically almost shouting that you don't listen to the government and go to war. Tom's appearance can be said to be the most haggard and sloppy in his works, and he can only be identified from the outline of his facial features later on.
