Document Summary
The heroicness of war lures people, however fear is the greatest element attached to war. Film makes it extremely difficult to understand the implications of war, we can"t hear bombshells or smell rotting bodies. People seem to forget that the cars seen in movies from being blown up in real life were prized possessions to some, and were worked hard for. When abandoned on the side of a highway it was because the only way to escape to live was to run. Illusion that once peace is achieved in a war that all violence ends, this is wrong once a city experiences violence as a way to achieve goals, they are often never free from violence again; it is a plague. Once a man enters into war he often loses all moral sensibilities, he must fight to stay alive and that is what he does. Debilitating mental and physical destruction that comes with prolonged exposure to war"s addiction.
