great ordinary man

Such a film seems very rough, without the twists and turns and twists and turns of emotions commonly used in ordinary movies, nor some common montage techniques, and beautiful shooting skills. But, you feel like you're experiencing it yourself, with your own eyes, with these heroes. A movie that is as natural as drinking plain water.
The most unforgettable scenes are these:
1. After the team members fell ill, they had no money for medical treatment. The captain ordered to sell the skins they exchanged for their lives for money, and what they got was only a small amount of money. They use their lives to protect the Tibetan antelopes, protect their skins from being stripped by others, confiscate the skins of the dealers, prohibit the trade, and finally exchange the collected skins for money. The meaning of life, the meaning of their existence, what kind of courage and how much pressure does it take to make a decision with the captain?
2. It was also sick here. One of the team members stayed up for a few nights and then sent his teammates to the hospital. He didn’t have enough money. He went to the karaoke hall to find his girlfriend. The first sentence of his girlfriend was: You will only come when you have no money. Find me. His answer was a simple and honest smile. The last shot of the two of them together is him sleeping in the car, and the vulgar-looking girl puts a stack of money on his seat, presses it down, and leaves in tears. How will the love between them be maintained? One is for a career without income, the other is for income, and the income is all given to the other side. No one has explicitly stated such a simple dedication, but we saw it, and we were moved to tears.
3. The members of the mountain guard collectively entered the mountain to protect them. Before parting, the captain's daughter couldn't cry, because: every time they entered the mountain, they didn't know if they could come back.
4. On the first day the reporter arrived at the mountain protection team, everyone met for the first time and had dinner together. He used a knife to cut mutton or something, and cut it from the inside out, with the edge of the knife facing out. The captain immediately pointed out that he was impolite, because the Tibetan compatriots always cut from the outside to the inside, and the knife edged inward. Keep the danger to yourself. Perhaps, the simple and sincere nature of the Tibetans, this foreshadowing, is to pave the way for the sacrifice of all members in the end.

...
and many more movies that are well worth watching. It's worth giving up a lot of things to see, and it's worth thinking about.
