The blessing of dragging the movie channel, I finally watched this film. I always feel that war movies are actually the same model, but I can always get a different kind of moving under the same model. Joe Anderson, who is used to seeing life and death and psychological trauma, can only return to the battlefield by cheating, during which he can only numb himself with alcohol and drugs. At the end of the war, he was a decadent mud. During the war, he was a fearless, cold-hearted and decisive warrior. With a pure heart, Ben Aceh wants to serve the country, but he does not know that his sincerity has not been exchanged for the country to treat him fairly. Ben and White Horse are always showing their white teeth and opening up to their comrades around them, while Joe is always reminding himself and the Bull, who also knows the secret, not to get too close to them. During this period, I kept guessing that the bull would kill the white horse first, but I didn't expect that the bull did not have the heart to shoot at the white horse at the last moment, but Joe threw the bomb after a struggle. Joe chose to confess to Ben, he said it was an order I had to do, he said "I'm a fucking good soldier". Ben still serves the country sincerely, but he no longer opens his heart to Joe. At the end of the film, in the face of life and death, Joe made a choice - the first time he chose the life of his comrades instead of orders. He fulfilled his promise with his life. At this point I suddenly understood why Joe insisted on returning to the battlefield, maybe he didn't intend to go back in the first place. Unable to distinguish right from wrong, he executes the order to hold his ground, he executes the order to stick to the password, he says "I'm a fucking good soldier". Maybe another choice his comrades will not die, the white horse is just captured... But there is no possibility on the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, the only thing wrong is the war itself. I still remember the smiling faces when they talked about their ideals after the war, the ensemble of the bull and the white horse, and the scene where Ben prayed for Joe with a cigarette... There are many personal wishes of John Woo in the film , racial equality, the innocence of people who are not on the battlefield, and the peace of the world. In fact, this is also the will of the public, and we are working hard on this road.

    In fact, it's pretty good, but the racial issue here makes John Woo offend some parties. He doesn't dare to say that he can only use Japan to help, which led to the loss of control and the bad criticism and the loss of money. From the grand battles to the local shootout films, although there are so many explosions, the sudden attack has been used several times. The reflection on the cruelty of the war and the religion are also straightforward. It is very interesting to compare with the bloody battle of Hacksaw Ridge. Archives.
