At first I thought this was an anti-war film, because for contemporary American soldiers on the battlefield, "Why should I be here" seems to be a very philosophical question. Some of the dialogues in the film are quite theatrical. Although not so appropriate, they do remind me of waiting for Godot.
If you think about it, it's not a mystery. Why did you come here, really because there is nowhere to go? Why don't you go home, are you sure you stepped on a landmine?
I don’t remember which interview I saw. Armie said that if he can’t understand a character, he can’t perform it (it seems to be man from UNCLE?). I trust his selection and would like to see his understanding of each of his works. After watching this interview, I realized that this is a fable. It is not limited to the battlefield, and may not even be on the battlefield by the intention. Without raising your feet, you won’t know if it’s a landmine or if it’s your last step. Lift your foot, make a move, this is the theme.
When I think of it as an anti-war film, what I see is the involuntary and meaninglessness of the "past" that makes a person come to the present. I think that for Mike, his meaning lies in the future, from rediscovering it. His girlfriend knelt on one knee from then on. I have always been a person who values goals and believes that achieving goals makes everything meaningful. But if you jump out of the frame of the anti-war movie, you will suddenly find that all those past are not meaningless, and even stagnation is not meaningless (all those hallucinations, especially the little girl, and the last toy soldier). Stagnation, especially stagnation in desperation, is an opportunity to think and struggle, even if delusions are meaningful.
Meaning exists in the past, present, and future, as long as you take the heart, as long as you take the next step.
Very good, worthy of a second brush. Armie blasted his praise, every close-up was so delicate and impeccable, the inch was so big that it burst, and sure enough, the inch was the standard for testing a handsome guy.
