In war, there is nothing more cruel than sacrifice. Death is the ugliest thing that cannot be avoided in war. War makes people's lives disappear directly, and it also leaves great sorrow and pain for the relatives and friends of the dead. Most war films focus on the scene of the war and use factual statements to illustrate the cruel nature of the war, such as "The Hurt Locker". Few movies focus on sacrifices, and don't talk about the scenes of war, only the sacrifice of war. The materials of "The Courier" are uniquely discerning. They don't talk about war scenes, but only pay attention to sacrifice. A soldier who was injured on the battlefield of the Iraq War was called in to face a special mission in the last three months of his retirement. He was ordered to report the deaths killed in the war to the families of the deceased. This job is not an easy task, because what he has to face is a sad or even embarrassing situation, and in this scene, he can not express too much of his feelings, and the identity of the military representative will make The family members of the deceased sent the anger that might exist in their hearts to themselves.

    Three and a half. Nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay for 10 years. It is also a description of things related to fallen soldiers. Compared with "Escort Chance", it is not so sensational, and it is not so American-style theme. Depression and sadness are accompanied by news of the death of relatives in the battlefield. Various forms of grief are deeply rooted in the bone marrow. . Ben's emotional layering in both long takes is fantastic, not to mention Woody.
