The film is based on reality, and there is obviously no attempt to make it artistic. The story is not high. But it can still show real problems.
1. If you can't get out of the psychological predicament, then go out.
The protagonist Megan is not a good girl. She and a partner took drugs together, and the partner died unexpectedly. So she was depressed. To get away, she went to join the army, and it was in the marines. After passing, she was punished to clean up dog feces because she urinated everywhere in the barracks (naturally out of rebellion). So he formed a bond with the dog named Rex. She took the initiative to apply for a dog, and in order to pass the application, she also exercised and trained to shoot. Finally got it.
Second, the spirit of the military.
The spirit of a soldier is in obedience, in carrying out orders...but more importantly, in facing challenges.
Megan took Rex and attacked in Iraq. With Rex's keen sense, he found a lot of mines and explosives, which greatly reduced the loss of the army. But Meghan and Rex were also injured. After demobilization, Megan hopes to adopt Rex, but out of fear that Rex will hurt innocent people (as the boss said: he will bite a child with a toy gun), maybe to save money (after all, training a military dog) The price is very high, let the dog continue to work hard as long as it is alive).
When Meghan returned home, she became depressed again. Obviously Rex is a military dog with great military achievements, but he has to be treated as "inhuman" (not a human in the first place), and if he is injured, he will continue to go to the battlefield.
Inspired by her father, she relied on Marine Corps thinking: bravely face challenges and actively solve problems. She found congressmen, found people everywhere to sign in support of Rex's retirement, and even appeared on TV and surfed the Internet. Finally got it. 17.9.3
