Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough | |
| The Messenger (2009) / int_80ed8406 | comment |
Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Subverted, as Will (Staff Sergeant) is generally more compassionate towards the next-of-kin they encounter, and Tony (Captain) is more distant. | |

Environmental Symbolism | |
| The Messenger (2009) / int_cbd0ac32 | comment |
Environmental Symbolism: The emotional climax to the movie takes place in Will's barely furnished apartment in the middle of the night, where a muted TV is showing footage of a giant tornado ripping silently across the screen while Will quietly describes his final battle in the war. | |
