Anti-war is not at the heart of this film

Anti-war is not at the heart of the film.

The film remains to this day because of two phenomena of present reality that it expresses:

Humans are sentient beings, and the world is becoming overcomplicated.

People are emotional animals, so when the protagonist is treated maliciously, he will resist, and the police officer will be furious.

The world has become complicated, so the protagonist returns from the war for the country and does not get honor and is scolded as a babykiller, so the police officer made a lot of nonsense after hearing the little police officer say that the protagonist was abused (note that he wanted to kill the protagonist). previous media reports).

These two points cannot be separated. The two phenomena combine to produce the moral conflict in the movie, and it is also the moral conflict in the current real life.

So it seems like everyone did nothing wrong, but the whole thing went haywire.

This moral conflict is a major concern.

Another thing to watch is the ending. I was thinking about how he would end while watching it.

It seems that there is no more reasonable ending than the death of the protagonist.

These violent delights deserve the violent end.

But the movie gave a different ending.

Unexpected but reasonable, and really touching, the director put the most crucial thing in the final ending, which is amazing.
