they should always be remembered

They are not just them in this war, but all of them who have been through war.

If the film is black and white, it will give people a sense of distance that makes people feel less deep. If restored to color. It will instantly shorten the distance and have an impact on people's hearts.

I originally watched this film with the feeling of knowing a piece of history. As a result, in the middle of the film, the war hit the most intense, most suffocating and tense moments. I can't stop crying. I remember a sentence in the film "We are like rabbits, hunted by humans". Life on the battlefield is not precious at all, and most of them are 17- and 8-year-old boys with kind fathers and shop owners. , They are all civilians. Sadly, war has always been the decision of the upper class, and the life and death of civilians.

Human beings are so small, why kill each other? Indeed, history is never black and white. It is full of colorful, optimistic soldiers, kind "enemy" and scary blood red, we may never be able to deeply understand the horror and perversion on the battlefield.

Many lines in the play are very shocking to people's hearts. In fact, they should not be called lines, but told in person. "We started to get numb and couldn't feel any emotions." "They will never understand that your comrades are talking to you one second and the next second they are shot through." "My parents, they are not interested in war. "Why haven't I seen you for so long, you went to night shift?" The sad thing is that they didn't get much preferential treatment after the war, but instead narrowed their scope of employment, I don't understand.

War doesn't make people strong inside, it just numbs them. These cracks will exist deeply in their hearts for a lifetime, but they will always appear so strong and fearless. Maybe my tear point is low, but when I think of if I were them, if I were a loved one in my hometown waiting for them to come home, I really couldn't control my emotions. Here, pay tribute to the soldiers in every war, the supreme tribute.

I am very grateful to the director of this film for letting people see the ruthlessness of war. I really saw this "cruel and ruthless". He is not an adjective lying on a book without temperature, but a picture of "color". A picture that everyone should see. I hope this anti-war themed film can really have an impact on the world and stop the war!

May the world be at peace, really!

World Peace.

    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".

    To use today's newly learned word is cutting-edge technologism, and at the same time provides a new idea for the re-screening of ancient silent films.

  • 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.
