What It’s About & If It’s Based on a True Story

Luckily, he calls the attack off, and nobody else gets hurt or killed. Schofield sadly tells Blake’s brother that Blake died trying to save him and the Battalion. Blake’s brother thanks him for everything, and this leaves Schofield alone. The soldier, who’s exhausted nearly to death, gets a chance to rest, to stop running away from death and violence, and to process everything that happened. It’s not the happiest ending (are war movies really known for that, though?), but it’s a triumphant one.
