Cherie Gil's Trining was right. The war made animals out of them. Such a magnificent social commentary about the bourgeoisie getting to keep their riches in the end. The film deserves to be studied everywhere.

A movie that perfectly shows how fortunate family remains safe in tragedy while the unprivileged will be sacrificed

conflict can come from outside, but it can also grow within.

oppression and desperation can exist simultaneously, and neither position, whether privileged or marginalized, guarantees moral righteousness. both sides commit wrongdoings against each other, but the imbalance is rooted in a system shaped by the elites themselves. their power and privilege set the conditions that leave others with fewer choices, especially in times of crisis. even after the chaos, the social order restores itself, and the rich remain rich.

much like in the film, people who experience the same external pressures can still turn against each other, arguing over ideologies, loyalties, or survival strategies. whether during wartime or in modern economic hardship, the real tragedy lies not only in the forces that strain a nation, but in how easily people within it become divided.

even when facing a common struggle, suffering does not automatically lead to unity, and without it, the cycle of conflict simply finds new forms.
