I saw this drama during this special period. It is a very attentive and shocking drama. It can be said to be a subversion of the documentary format. Set against the backdrop of the Anglo-German battle during the First World War. The picture is a real war picture, and the narration is the narration of many people who participated in the war. The combination of picture and sound reproduces the war from the perspective of these ordinary soldiers. From enlisting with enthusiasm, to hard training, to witnessing the brutality of the war, to being out of touch with society and even isolated after retiring. The loneliness of the soldiers at the end of the film is a stark contrast to the zealous blood at the beginning. I think we ordinary people are pushed away by the situation, and at first you don't think that one day you will hold a bayonet through gunfire and stray bullets - not only enemy gunfire but your own gunfire - and send the bayonet into a The chest of someone who might look honest. At first, you were just motivated by bloody slogans and decided to join the army. Later, you trained hard and looked forward to going to the battlefield. Later, you came to the battlefield and shot and threw grenades in the trenches according to the order. One day, you are ordered to charge with a bayonet, but you have no time to think about how you got here.
Recently, I have become more and more aware that although we like to point the country, we are not the people who point the country, we are all beings who are pointed and pointed in the country. If there was a war now, we would be the ones on the battlefield watching the heads of our comrades explode, or we would be the ones whose heads exploded. People in later generations will know in the history books how the good and evil sides of this war strategized and won thousands of miles. But they wouldn't know that in this war, there was an ordinary soldier who peed in his boot the night before, just to make it softer for the next day's march. They don't know that the people in the war don't care whether the war is good or evil, lose or win, the only thing they think about is that the war can end quickly. There are also two episodes that left a deep impression on me. One is that the British soldiers and the captured German soldiers got along very well. They also said that these Germans were good people. There is also a scenario in which a British rugby team and a German rugby team were in a relationship when news of a war between the two countries came. As a result, after they discussed it, they decided to continue the party, and the war would be discussed the next day. Sometimes we have to fight for the group we belong to, and rightly so. Therefore, the harm caused by this kind of correctness is even more difficult to explain.
