"Common Security Zone": The four good friends who are separated by a three-eighth line can only be worthy of this pure brotherhood if they die!

South Korean Sergeant Li (played by Li Bingxian) was patrolling near the 38th parallel, and accidentally stepped on a landmine while urinating on the reeds. ). At the request of Sergeant Li, the two army brothers of the Northern Dynasty rescued him, and they forged an indissoluble bond from then on.

Lee Byung Hun played his teeth well

In fact, they can see each other almost every day, because the place where they are stationed is only separated by a thirty-eighth line. Just seeing is not enough, they have to catch up, so they began to tie letters to stones at night and throw baseballs at each other's checkpoints (the two sides are separated by a bridge) when no one was there. Of course, there were times when the glass was broken. But the people on the side thought that there was a festival between the two sides and no one cared about it.

After a lot of chatting, the three of them were actually brothers, and Sergeant Li of South Korea often even sneaked to the Northern Dynasty post in the middle of the night. Sergeant Li even took the words of the older Sergeant Wu as his motto.

South Korea is more developed than the socialist North Korea because it is capitalist. Sergeant Li often brought some American goods to his two brothers in the Northern Dynasty, such as lighters, pornographic magazines, leather shoe polish, and tapes of South Korean songs. Pets were not allowed on the front lines of the Northern Dynasties, and the second soldier Zheng even drove his little dog to the south of the 38th parallel.

In the last three months when Sergeant Li was about to retire, Sergeant Li introduced his good friend, Second Class Nan, to two good brothers of the Northern Dynasty, and they became good friends of the four-member group.

With the addition of Second Class Nan, they played even more fun. They often used bullets to play with stones, shared photos of family members or girlfriends with each other, spat at each other childishly across the three-eighth line when on duty, and ate moon cakes together on the Chinese New Year’s Eve. Arm wrestling and cockfighting together.

Fighting cock together with four good friends

Of course, they also talked about political issues such as national reunification, but each time the two sides left it alone. After all, this is a big issue at the national level, which cannot be controlled by individuals, and they never thought of returning to the other side. As soldiers, they are absolutely loyal to their country, but this does not prevent them from being pure brothers of life and death.

Seeing that Sergeant Li was about to retire, on the birthday of Private Xu, they decided to get together for the last time. After all, their positions are different. After the four exchanged personal contact addresses, they decided to get together and leave, hoping that on the day of the reunification of the country, they might be able to continue this brotherhood.

However, on this very night, Lieutenant Cui (non-good class) of Beichao bumped into the four people who got together. The tragedy began to unfold, and the five people had a conflict, so the brain-burning came:

Private South: 1 shot (lung) against Lieutenant Cui

Second Class Nan: Shot Second Class Zheng (left face) to penetrate and smash the recorder

Sergeant Li: I shot Second Class Zheng (left hand), but the gun jammed

Second Class Zheng: Shot Sergeant Li 1 shot (knee)

Second Class Nan: Shot Second Class Zheng 6 shots (torso)

Sergeant Wu used Private Nan's gun: shot Lieutenant Cui 1 shot (brain)

Sergeant Li used Private Nan's gun: shot Sergeant Wu 1 shot (right shoulder)

In order to protect the surviving brothers to the greatest extent, Sergeant Wu decided to let Second Class Nan take away the gun of Sergeant Li, who jammed after shooting (Second Class Zheng) 1 bullet. The confession did not appear at the crime scene.

Sergeant Li took the gun of Second Class Nan, with a total load of 15 rounds and 10 shots (actually: 2 from Lieutenant Cui, 7 from Second Class Zheng, and 1 from Sergeant Wu). Confession: He was kidnapped by the North Korean side, and after breaking free, he shot three North Korean sergeants (one was shot with 2 bullets, the other was shot with 8 bullets, and the other was shot with 1 bullet), two killed and one injured.

11 bullet holes and 10 bullets were found at the scene (one bullet was thrown into the river by Sergeant Wu). Because the bullet holes and bullets did not match, they were re-investigated.

The final outcome is: Second-class Zheng, who was shaken for a moment, died on the spot, Second-class Nan, who was the first to shoot, jumped off the building and committed suicide.

Across a three-eighth line de four good friends

I can understand the suicidal behavior of Nan Li and Li. Perhaps only by giving their lives can they be worthy of the pure and extreme brotherhood between them.

The structure is superb, a trap is set at the beginning, and the subsequent insistence, the secrets are peeled off layer by layer, and the warm friendship is hidden under the cold confrontation; 3. Song Kanghao The sergeant played decisively, quickly and calmly made the most accurate treatment; 4. The final freeze-frame picture is wonderful.

    Addendum, unexpectedly good-looking. The structure of the four-person relationship and the construction of the narrative structure are both wonderful and appropriate. On the same land, the confrontation between the same people, under the boundless sky, is so absurd and so sad. They just want to fade away from the political color, seek the warmth of the boundary line as an individual, and try to figure out the temperature of human nature, and politics will always be Ruthless. Li Bingxian's acting skills are amazing!
