Such a war film. Junior high school history education should all let the teacher show these movies to the students. Our history books and film and television works do not have enough understanding and description of the cruelty of war, so that so many people advocate war on Weibo, let alone the preciousness of peace and the preciousness of life. This is irritating. The superior gave the order, and the soldiers could only execute it. This is true of war, and so is the task of saving Ryan. The war is wrong, and the task of saving Ryan is also wrong, but it is just like that. The war has to be fought and the task has to be carried out. The war is wrong, the mission is absurd, but they must carry out the mission, and they have to find meaning in this absurdity. Tom Hanks said that every time a soldier dies, he tells himself that this is to save ten or twenty people, but is that really the case? The mission of saving Ryan took the lives of Capazzo and the doctor from the beginning. Is it worthwhile? Of course, two lives for one life are not equal, no matter how great hope Ryan represents, this is not true. As in the previous discussion, everyone has a mother, Ryan is not different from Capazzo and doctors. But saving Ryan is valuable in itself. Not equal, but still valuable. Another angle is "utilitarian morality." Life is not quantifiable. Why are two lives more valuable than one life? One life is no more valuable than eight lives, and eight lives are no more valuable than one life. Eight people went to save one person, just because it had to be done to save this person. Eight people, and all the soldiers of World War II, struggled, fought, and moved forward under this involuntary fate, doing what they should do, and waiting for the day of peace. When the German prisoners of war were caught, the entanglement that the director passed to the audience was that no one should die, but the war is life and death. It is the war, not the German soldiers, that is wrong. The biggest problem with Chinese war film and television works is that they give people a feeling that the enemy is damned. Very anti-human, and aroused the desire to fight, thinking that eradicating the enemy is to solve the problem. Especially in the Chinese civil war, both sides of the battle are Chinese citizens. Who should die? If you think that every soldier has a mother, you will realize that no matter whether you win or lose in a war, it is just that countless people lose their lives. Winning, at all, is not worth celebrating. The victory or defeat of a war also means countless deaths. And that death may happen to every living person. They have parents and relatives, they have wives, some people are waiting for them to go home, and the past of brothers is waiting for reunion. But the war ruined everything. In a good war movie, after winning a war, the soldiers who won the war stared blankly at the ruins and the countless brothers who died. Great grief. There are many domestic war movies, and after every battle is won, they cheer and celebrate. How against human nature is this? A soldier is more saddened by his comrades-in-arms who just lost in the cruel battle, and those who have died; or even more cheering for the so-called "victory." Poor Wuding Hebian Bone is still a deep boudoir dream. ———— There is a detail in the movie. They look for Ryan in the "dog tag", and then the soldiers pass by and see them laughing there, but behind each dog tag is a person's life, a dead soldier. At this time, the doctor rushed out to stop them. At that moment, there was a great sadness and helpless guilt.

I don't like everything that over-proclaims nationalism, such as the wolf of war. I don't like all war films that are very "burning".
The war is not burning at all.
