The battle flag is waving, the sea breeze is blowing, and a determined smile appears on your face. In my mind, however, your youthful face emerged.
——Colonel Zhixiao
In this film, Robert went from a newcomer to a brave commander. The process of change is worth discussing.
Like his friend Rollins, although he is white, he is kind-hearted and treats others equally. For black soldiers, especially his friend Thomas, he hopes to treat them with an equal attitude. In the words of the film, it is " Treat them as human beings." When he saw the Master Chief reprimand or even beat Thomas, he also discouraged him. But the Master Chief said, "Let him grow up," which led to Robert's first change. At this time, he clearly realized that in order for the troops to gain combat effectiveness, they must undergo strict training, and possessing iron discipline is the primary condition for a strong team.
Robert's repeated applications, the supply department still does not release the shoes they need, and what can he do? wait. But when Trien fled that time, he ordered Trien to be whipped to maintain military discipline, and then he learned the truth of the matter, and he deeply realized the hardships of black soldiers. This prompted Robert's second change. He has learned that passive concessions can't solve any problems, and when dealing with those who are bullied and afraid of hardships, he will only give in if they attack strongly. Sure enough, as he walked out of the supply office, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
