The praise is only due to the "anti-war" halo

First of all, this is not a commercial blockbuster, so the scene can't be gorgeous, and there won't be many stunts. It can only take the psychological shocking route, so that the audience can feel the same, and get praise.
In the film, the lives of these soldiers who come back to repair are a mess, ALL ARE STUFF AND FUCK THEMSEVS UP, but the selection of shots, transitions, etc., etc. are also bad, can the bad shots tell others that the war is bad? The battle scene at the beginning of the film is neither violent nor exciting, what is it? Recharge? If you want to express what the protagonist has experienced, then it is very good to use the method of spaced memory. This method is also the main method of this movie. Why not use it all the time? The beginning can be completely started with the protagonist on the plane returning home, looking out the window, looking at the remaining teammates next to him, and recalling what happened on the battlefield.
Stop loss, a really ridicular reason, a theme that can be played a lot, could have done better, but, I haven't seen more conflicts, the intensity is not enough and too single, from the perspective of appreciation, is there no What to appreciate.
Good ingredients have turned into bad dishes, and the praise is only because of anti-war!

    The most eye-catching war movie? The ending is extremely confusing. Could it be that the director has been changed?

    The ending was a bit unexpected. This film is to brainwash American soldiers and their relatives to refuse to fight again. Boss Qian is still wild at heart~
