Edge of Tomorrow
Yes, “Edge of Tomorrow” is a goofy sci-fi picture about Tom Cruise living a “Groundhog Day” situation with guns. But the plot, sneakily, says a lot about what it means to be a soldier. On a micro scale, a soldier’s tour of duty is marked by monotony, routine and order, even in its most violent moments. On a macro scale, countries will never stop waging war with each other, even after everyone who could be dead is dead. Double brutal.
