    Although JC is not the protagonist, he gave me more shock than the protagonist gave me. The ending is unbearable sadness. Of course, war is like that, so I didn't hold back my tears.

    Although Malik has excellently explored the humanity and cruelty in war, the split between the extreme scheduling of the big scene and the fragmented editing methods of the rest is really heart-wrenching, and he still cannot agree with many of his performance methods. 【2017.10.30 @SVA】
