Same war, different scenery

The true portrayal of the fragile side of human nature in war is very different from the image of the brave soldiers in domestic war films, and it is also a few blocks away from films such as "Iwo Jima's Letter from the Family". The climax of the film, if the ending part must be regarded as the climax, seems to inevitably step into the stereotype of heroism. Here, the starting point of the characters in the film is not heroism. His despair prompted him to make a decision to sacrifice his life, thus completing the story of a lone hero. Terrence had no intention of creating a dramatic climax, and the event ostensibly ended, while Terrence's questioning of himself and the war, and the film's torture of the audience, continued to float in the air. Questions such as "Why are there wars between people", which are often ignored in daily life, come to the viewer at this moment, and are no longer metaphysical and unreasonable questions. In the film, World War II was not over at that time, and now there is still a war off-screen, and everything continues.

Although JC is not the protagonist, he gave me more shock than the protagonist gave me. The ending is unbearable sadness. Of course, war is like that, so I didn't hold back my tears.

Although Malik has excellently explored the humanity and cruelty in war, the split between the extreme scheduling of the big scene and the fragmented editing methods of the rest is really heart-wrenching, and he still cannot agree with many of his performance methods. 【2017.10.30 @SVA】

First Sgt. Edward Welsh: This army's gonna kiII you. If you were smart, you'd take care of yourself. There's nothing you can do for anybody else. You're just running into a burning house where nobody can be saved.
