Cannon Fodder's Monologue

War cannot solve confusion, and it rises to the height of philosophy and religion. A war film of nearly 3 hours is filled with too many literary pictures and over-the-air remarks, which will inevitably lead to non-combustion, but it seems that it is still unfinished.

A game about the American soldiers' cognition of their own cannon fodder identity, our youth was wasted in the politics of war, although the hardships came after victory, but it was too hard.

War is a gladiatorial fight between machines. It doesn’t seem to require much emotion, but it is obvious that the American soldiers are people who believe in God. There is no joy in battle, only deeper nothingness, killing more people to save more people, barely comforting the soul.

I don't know why human beings want to go to war, it doesn't help human evolution. But the old officer said: I have graduated from the military academy for 15 years, and I have wanted to improve and be appreciated for 15 years. Unfortunately, there is no chance. What I am waiting for is this war! No matter what the price is, the hill will be captured tonight, because tomorrow the chief is coming to inspect.

Why fight? ——It is not for the other party to accept his own point of view. Totalitarian regimes are all alike, satisfying control and ambition; democracies, however, are different, from liberty and independence.

Can I get out of loneliness? - No, because you are in the crowd.

On the 70th anniversary of the Pacific War, Japan's NHK TV station collected war testimony from the public. When asked if he was willing to fight for his country, a young Japanese replied: "If you want a country to die for it, let it perish." . I thought about it carefully and found that this is the most standard answer.

    In Terrence Malick's world, the film becomes a poem, a prose, or a stream of consciousness, and all plot and visual expressions are subject to the stream of consciousness. This is the most beautiful war movie I've ever seen. The bloody storm is lost to the peace before the war. The parting of life and death is not worth the beauty of a moment's separation. What is war? All wars are unnecessary wars!

    What is the fear before the war compared to the fear after the war? Humans' longing for power has long broken the conservation of nature. The most impressive is the butterfly flying next to the US army when it attacked the enemy, the close-up of the soldiers when the Japanese army was defeated, and the beautiful picture of coexisting with their lovers during the monologue. It's not easy to be a big-name star, and you have to fight with the director with a machine gun in a frenzy.

The Thin Red Line quotes

  • Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: It's not necessary for you to ever tell me that you think I'm *right*. Ever. We'll assume it.

  • Japanese Soldier: Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?
