If you just look at this film as a horror film, you can only say that you didn't understand the film.
If you look at this film as a war movie, it means you understand a little bit.
If you think this is a film that explores the philosophy of life, I think you must have watched it more than once, or you are a genius.

It was the third time I watched it before I really understood the film, and understood the meaning behind each dialogue.

The reason why this film is a war film is just because the bloody scenes of the war are very shocking and can bring a powerful visual impact to the audience. At the beginning of the film, it will lock your eyes firmly and let Step by step you enter a miserable and terrifying space.

The scene of the war in this film is very characteristic, muddy and damp, especially the unrecognizable dead body, which is decomposing a little bit, making people feel that this is no longer a human world, but a purgatory on the world. After death, people have no dignity, worthless, and become a pile of mud. In this context, the nobility of human beings as the spirit of all things vanishes!

In such an environment, how to define a capitalized person? How to reshape human beings as human beings and distinguish them from the human nature of animals?

The place where the whole story takes place is a very strange enemy trench with very limited space. When the soldiers of this company entered this trench, all the fighting seemed to be away from them. In this cramped space, they have to face even more powerful and evil enemies. Desire, the weakness of human nature. In normal life, there will be various constraints to hide these weaknesses. But when our psychology reaches its limit, these weaknesses will appear a hundred times stronger than before, controlling our behavior and doing things that we would never do when we are awake. People who seem to be very powerful at ordinary times can become vulnerable, and seemingly pious beliefs can be easily abandoned. In the face of fear, some people choose to escape and paralyze themselves, and some people turn their inner fear into harm to others, and find a sense of security in manipulating others' lives. In order to protect themselves, they have abandoned their humanity, and their survival instinct has overcome human dignity.

The war may magnify the same picture a hundred times and present it in front of us. But this kind of story actually happens every day, human nature remains unchanged, its fragility, its brilliance, like a double-edged sword, we can not abandon it, can only accept everything about human nature. It seems vulnerable, but sometimes tough. You see, even after being swallowed, Asha still shouted firmly: "I'm not dead!" He never gave up his dignity at any time. This is the shining side of our human civilization.

    3.5 The scenes of war are better than horror scenes, and war is more terrifying than ghosts

  • Sgt. David Tate: Don't call me 'sir', alright? I'm a sergeant, I work for a living.

  • Capt. Bramwell Jennings: Ok listen, we have captured a forward German Trench. That's a rare achievement gentlemen and may be vital to the war effort. We will hold this trench until we are reinforced, we must. That is our duty. Get some scoff on, get a brew going, see if we can make the best of it.
