源自《纽约时报》的这部个人纪录片讲述了一名前副排长和他的两个年幼的儿子在近 10 年里的故事,记录了他在阿富汗战场上身受重伤后返回家乡的经历。最初这是某军营在 2010 年的一年期部署项目的一部分,但记者出身的电影制作人卡特琳·艾因霍恩和莱斯尔·戴维斯坚持用这个故事来追踪服兵役对一个家庭的长期影响。《父,子,兵》既是对生活在现役的阴影中的普通百姓的真实写照,又是对两代人服兵役的纵向调查,是一部关于战争后牺牲、意志、责任和美国男子汉意义的深刻的个人探索。Isaac and Joey have a superhero for a father. They worship their Dad, Brian Eisch, a decorated, third generation soldier who spends most of their childhood deployed in Afghanistan while other family members care for the boys. When Brian is injured and returns home a different man, all three must reconcile with the aftershocks of war. As Brian fights to retain control of himself and his loved ones, fate continues to challenge his belief in justice and self-determination. Catrin Einhorn and Leslye Davis's stunning ethnographic study of American masculinity and generational tragedy follows the Eischs for close to a decade as their intense father-son bond is challenged time and time again. Davis's restrained and beautiful cinematography subtly captures moments of raw anguish and unadulterated joy. This deeply moving portrait of a family called to serve explores the meaning of sacrifice, the need for purpose, and the challenges of being a father, a soldier and a son. Presented by Netflix.
