Ingenious idea. More importantly, the typical American values embodied in the movie. In addition to justice and integrity, it is more about salvation. Salvation for Sarin's accidental killing of his comrades (forgiveness), salvation for Murphy, Karen's soldier (suicide), salvation for others (comfort). The deceased is gone, the living still have to move forward. This is the best solution for people to let go of their burdens and move on. This is a Christian interpretation. But can it really...

There is always only one truth, and lies indeed have thousands of faces. An upright person can only face his conscience and get redemption when he faces his mistakes and tells the truth. When people make mistakes, their first reaction is to cover up, but in fact they are facing them. As a soldier, it is an incumbent responsibility to give the sacrificed comrades a truth. When a person is injured, the family is the warmest harbor. Classic: buried me with medals, they really have a sense of...

A woman who encountered a mutiny in her subordinates when the plane crashed and no one was rescued could still carry her M16 to cover her soldiers' retreat. In order to avoid being investigated afterwards, this group of nasty soldiers caused this brave female officer to carry M16 and burn to death in the fire set by her family. Meg Ryan played this female officer who sacrificed herself for justice. I laughed when I saw the various confessions of the three soldiers~ PS matt cute...

Standard old American theme movie. Still feel that Denzel Washington's acting skills are awesome and full of aura. Meg Ryan also changed Sweet Sister...

Rashomon incident in the context of the Gulf War. Washington, as always, is awe-inspiring. The film is one of Meg Ryan's attempts to break through the image of American sweetheart. It turns out that Dabing is still not suitable for her. The most amazing thing is Matt Damon as a supporting role. He didn't expect him to have such a thin role like Christian Bale. A year later, "Mind Catcher" let the whole world remember...

It's not complicated, but the story is really good. It's a bit of Rashomon, but it's not exactly that everyone chooses a story that suits their own interests for their own...

The film does not blindly promote the main theme, but exposes the cruelty of war and the dark side of the people in the war. It also shows the courage of the real soldier played by the female soldier played by Meg Ryan at the time of...

The underrated movies, especially IMDb, are underrated. The Rashomon-style narrative structure, like peeling an onion, is connected through multiple memories until the truth is revealed. The cruelty of the facts shocks people. The first film based on the Gulf War, but through the war, tells the human choice after facing accidentally wounding a comrade. In the two cases where the truth was covered up, the officer played by Denzel Washington accidentally wounded his comrades but was ordered by...

About true truth
In the Middle East a few time zones away. A group of people still feel the pain caused by the war. And there are countless real phenomena of being brutally buried at the moment of life and death. And this story is just a microcosm of those countless stories. Use images to zoom infinitely. Let...

Warning from U.S. military officers
A very restrained movie, without crying or rhetoric, but rather sincere and deep.
But what impressed me most was the remarks heard when the officer played by Meg Ryan accepted the rank

after
dismissing the troops,

Nathaniel Serling: Will there be a public statement of the facts when the Al Bathra investigation is over sir?
General Hershberg: There's been a decision not to release any of these findings until every case has been thoroughly reviewed.
Nathaniel Serling: [pause] Well how long do you imagine that will be sir? I mean the next time I see Lieutenant Boylar's parents, I'd like to be able to tell them the whole truth.
General Hershberg: Do you want to know how many grieving parents I had to deal with during Vietnam?
Nathaniel Serling: With all due respect sir, this is not Vietnam. Lieutenant Boylar's tank was hit by uranium-depleted shells. We're the only country in the world that uses them. We got these reporters from the Washington Post sniffing around his parents, looking for the truth, and the only person that knows the truth is not allowed to say it because these investigators are dragging their backsides. Someone has got to be accountable for this.
[pause]
Nathaniel Serling: Sir.

The President: Few of us are given the opportunity, even fewer the courage to sacrifice ourselves for the lives of our comrades. In daily life, even as in battle each one of us is mysteriously and irrevocably bound to our fellow man. And yet, it is only in death that the power of this bond is finally tested and proven. And who among us really knows how he might respond when the moment comes?
