This is a film about faith. The first scene at the beginning of the film shows two leading men in a field of wildflowers. Blake lies down and Schofield sits against the tree. Someone came up to Blake and said the commander wanted to see you, and he wanted you to take a comrade with you. So Blake called Schofield to see the commander. The commander explained the mission to them and they set off at once. After Blake's death, Schofield finally completed his mission through thick and thin. The final scene of the film echoes the opening scene, which is still a meadow, but with no wildflowers, just dog's tail grass. Schofield still sat against a tree, remembering his fallen comrade in the sunset.
