War has always been an unfortunate part of our society and civilization. War will sadly and undoubtedly be with us as long as we exist. However, the portrayal of war for many centuries gave a sense of patriotism and romanticism. Then the invention of the camera changed how humanity perceived war in the late to mid 19th century. And all of a sudden, images of war became of shear violence and destruction. The violence in these images would play a significant part in the social and political standpoints of war in our nation.

War can be defined as “an active struggle between competing entities. It’s truly hard to tell who is right or wrong during a war.

It's about sunlight. It's about special way thar dawn spreads out on a river when you must cross the river and march into the mountain and do things you are afraid to do. It's about love and memory. It's about sorrow. It's about sisters who never write back and people who never listen” (81). It’s telling us that you should care for what you have and the memories and the sorrows.

Wincer and Boyne using the theme of war and suffering of other to portray the unavoidable casualty of war. In the novel the author used two boys that were like brother to show us happiness can be achieved and in the movie the author but at the end they both had to pay a really high price for happiness on the battle field. The author of the novel and director of the movie, took it to a level where evil and good were at an even
