"The Messenger" was written and directed by Oren Moverman, and it was also the first directorial work of Moverman, who was a screenwriter. The reason why he came up with the idea of creating such a special service department describing the US military is mainly to blame. In the imagination of another screenwriter, Alessandro Camon.
At the beginning, it was Carmon’s suggestion. He wanted to create a movie script that specifically described "Information of casualties to officers". No one had ever looked at the cruel side of war and the damage caused from such a unique perspective before, and no one had followed. These are the perspectives of'The Messenger', which conveys the results of the war to the military, to observe some situations in the rear. Therefore, it is an unbearable and terrible job for any person to become a "The Messenger" that represents painful results as long as it appears. This idea of Kamon made Oren Moverman very excited, and at the same time, he could deal with Oren Moverman's own demon of the American military service in a roundabout way
