this is war

From "Hunting U571"

Long... The version I read is 194 minutes, adapted from the autobiography of a war correspondent. Unlike other war movies, this is the real war~

War has never been magnificent, more often it is a big project, and the people involved in it have different divisions of labor, no different from any work, doing the same work every day is also composed of details, and it is boring; war Like the managers in the project, the commanders, big and small, will not agree with the task, will still execute it, and will become the backbone in times of crisis...

War is meaningless to most people, for no reason (or for a catchy slogan that has never been thought of, or not at all), but is carried forward by history, so the results are often absurd, like being The submarine that swore to defend to the death finally sank to the bottom of the triumphal dock~

There are thousands of people in war, and they will not become indistinguishable because of a common war. They still have their own personalities, especially in the moments of life and death, and their reactions are different. Before the war, they were so ordinary, and the war magnified their "heroes", showing their "fears" and "desires" under the microscope.

In times of peace, war is better not to be sublime

    It's still a tragedy, well~~The ending is definitely the finishing touch.... cruel enough, realistic enough... depressing enough... tragic enough...

    The scheduling exploded, and the feeling of the main road was photographed in the claustrophobic and small space. Several characters appearing have their own characteristics, which well support all aspects needed for a wonderful story. Although the expectation of a deep excavation of human nature that I thought would appear has come to nothing, in the face of such an excellent and compact anti-war melodrama, I dare not ask for more.
