Politicians and War

Suzanne 2022-04-20 09:02:18

Politics is a Game of Thrones, and it's scary! "Power is a magical thing. With it, even the smallest person can emit thousands of golden lights!" They are all young boys. They are infected by the slogan of defending the country and serving the country. They don't know what war is. But after the experience, they know that war is pointless. It is just a tool for politicians to consolidate and expand their rights. As I mentioned in "1917", the grassroots soldiers just want to go home alive. Why and how to fight are not what they consider. Complete the orders given by the superior, charge to kill the enemy, siege the city, and survive, that's all. Whether hostile or not, warriors have the same heart, they are just pawns for politicians to keep moving forward.

Killing is the instinct of animals. The reason why people are human is that they have ideas, systems, ideals and beliefs to suppress their own animality. The war just wiped out people's thoughts, systems, ideals, and beliefs. Oppose all wars for the sake of rights, and wish the world will never have wars, and peace will last forever.

    Although the narration is so full that it is already driving people crazy, after thinking about it, I still think that I should give it five stars. This is really an unprecedented war daily life that no film will talk about (not to mention the trenches alone will blow most of the World War I films... and finally understand the weapons and equipment such as mines, guns, tanks, etc. ...), and this is the ultimate dream of a military nerd, and this is the right use of technology, a huge job of sound and color, yet so understated that it's hard to notice. The 3D design also basically only uses the positive parallax area, but the depth is done quite well, and the effect is to form a kind of "peeping" (and, looking at 2D is equal to not seeing!). Discuss the sound-picture relationship, and the rather important text of "Film as archive/found footage".

    The restoration is perfect, the coloring part is very silent, "they are no longer getting old", the childish smile in front of the camera and the corpses on the battlefield are edited to be extremely impactful; the additional narration uses the old veterans. The perspective restores how to survive in extremely harsh environments, how to overcome the fear of fear itself under the dual physical and psychological torture, how to actually feel the breath of death with the flesh and blood, and even have the ups and downs of the drama Immerse yourself, open a new mode of repair. From the heart of fist and fist that I cherished at the beginning, to the numbness and complete loss of his goal, all kinds of psychological torture experienced, the difficulties and the unexperienced, became the "superfluous person" in the era of peace, adding another cruel tragic and lonely and desolate.

  • Soldier: [waving at camera] Hi, mum.

  • Soldier: You don't look, you see. You don't hear, you listen. You taste the top of your mouth. Your nose is filled with fumes and death. But the veneer of civilization has dropped away.
