The whole film consists of two super long lenses. But the long shots of this film are not used to show off skills, but to prevent you from escaping from the most personal senses, from the sidelines, from the grand perspective of history, and from treating everyone in the film as statistics in the war. So a unique technique with a unique narrative style is excellent.

Two moments that took my breath: In the first part of the night scene, the incendiary bomb illuminates the ruins, the shadows are flying, and the protagonist is also flying. That scene is like Orpheus of Cocteau walking in hell; the protagonist is washed down by a waterfall. He was drifting on his back in a semi-coma, and the snow-white petals fell, and for a moment I wished him to fall asleep like Ophelia. It is a perfect filmmaking but not a good war film. Any violent image without cracks is a spectacle and illusion full of flaws. The live game is a more hypocritical game, and it is a game where personal heroism infinitely magnifies and conceals all reflections. Every British actor with a name and a surname is just a beloved soldier here. When Ma Qiang's legs step into the screen, he does not belong to the war when the voice falls from the sky. This order was taken so unimpeded. The first scene of the film coincides with the last one, and the morning sun rises from the horizon with green and yellow flowers. This war has no history or geography, but it is just a beautiful story—from Grandpa’s mouth. The story is nothing more, it is not trauma, it is not fanaticism, it is not a mountain of flesh and blood. The soundtrack photography is too "Skyfall", and ordinary soldiers become 007!
