After watching this movie, I finally understood that Sun Tzu's Art of War said that "the teacher is famous", which is what Mao Weiren emphasized, "First of all, we must understand why we are fighting?" The wars of European and American capitalist countries have always been decided by capitalists. Participation in the war depends on the consideration of capital. Justice, democracy, freedom, etc. are all slogans of mobilization. So, the soldiers who knew this knew very well that they were just victims of war, tools of killing. This is why European and American filmmakers have made these bizarre anti-war films that emphasize individualism again and again (see also the Korean film "Taichi Flag Fluttering"). On the other hand, China has always been in a position of being invaded. It is only after the family is destroyed that it rises up to fight, and it understands that if it fails, it will die. Therefore, the anti-war view of our war films is that only victory can lead to peace and war can be stopped.
