Deep dives
Complex Narrative: Confusion in Political Allegiances
The film presents a complex narrative where the political allegiances and motivations of the factions involved are unclear. Viewers are left questioning which side to root for and what the actual conflict is about. This ambiguity may mirror the chaos and brutality of war, where the focus shifts to brutality rather than the cause of the conflict, leading to a sense of confusion but capturing the fog of war effectively.
