This movie is about war, yet not too much of the gory war is explicitely shown. About waiting, and endurance during the wait. Human condition during the war, any war. Some philosophising about how a war is bad even when it is won. A sort-of advice to also learn in rejoicing with the others. The Crane metaphor, if taken literally is however breaking down as not just war but even peacetime impacts on the environment are ensuring that those and many other species are suffering leaving less things for us to rejoice in, war or no war.
