Did you see robes or lice?

Life is a gorgeous robe covered with lice. These are the words of Miss Zhang Ailing. Rodin said: The world never lacks beauty, but lacks the eyes to discover beauty. It's all about angles. There is beauty in life and there is beauty in it. Luck or not, happiness or not is only related to the perspective and attitude of the parties concerned. Life is too short to live so clearly. Find an angle to make yourself feel lucky and happy, this is the serious thing.

Are the three protagonists lucky to escape death in Iraq?

Cheaver: Pain is not a bad thing, unless it conquers us.
Cheaver is a big badass in movies. His wife was in a divorce with him, the child was admitted to Stanford but had no money to support, and the previous unit was also yellow, and it couldn't be worse. He was hesitant, he was in pain, and the mid-life crisis erupted without defense. Mr. Cheaver's damage control ability is very strong, and the two evils are the lesser of the two. In the end, he invested in the torrent of conscription and got 20,000 yuan for schooling. Mr. Cheaver was brave, settled the money issue, left the sad place, and went to the death camp in Iraq. Mr. Cheaver is a man!

TK: It's love, not a whore, that heals all wounds.
At the beginning of the film, TK talked about the scene where he and his fiancée met before, with a blank face, and also regarded his fiancée as a ladder for promotion. It can be said that TK did not love his fiancée at all. Desperately trying to survive on the battlefield, and hoping to rise step by step after returning to China, everything is so natural for him, even though he doesn't know that his life is already a stagnant pool. He is not only sexually impotent, but also lovely impotent. Originally, TK's plan to return to China to find a prostitute for medical treatment - to meet her fiancée - to return to Iraq to serve in Iraq was disrupted by the appearance of Colee. TK found his love, he fell in love with Colee, he became concerned about gains and losses, he was afraid of going back to Iraq, afraid of the danger of death, in order to "find a way to live", so he got hot and got himself into the game, fortunately Was bumped into by Cheaver, fortunately that small shop has never been robbed, TK was lucky to come out.

Colee: There is no home in life, peace of mind is the place to go.
Colee, like most girls, is neurotic and insecure. She is always chatting with others, because she is afraid of being alone, she is afraid of loneliness. Colee was always talking about her "friend" Randy because she was afraid others would see through her loneliness. She wouldn't let go of Randy's guitar because she thought she could get a month's worth of shelter and live a life of escort. Only later did I find out that Randy was a liar at all. In the end, she was completely deceived, and even the dream of the last "home" was torn to shreds by Randy's lies. Colee is completely homeless, and perhaps America is stranger to her than Iraq. Finally, Colee was free to run to the land she really knew - the battlefield.

The three of them finally returned to the starting point, and luckily returned to the starting point.

Remember, to always persuade yourself that you are lucky, this is the basic common sense of survival.

    There are bright spots, pseudo-thinking.

    Colee Dunn: And what they do is they're sex workers. They're real professional, and I told them about your problem and they said...

    T.K. Poole: You got to stop telling people that.

    Colee Dunn: They said they could take care of it, and they said they'd give you a discount because you're a service man wounded in the war.
