In the face of the people we care about, we may lose our senses on impulse, but we are very fragile and unable to face the truth.

At the end of the film, Sophie inadvertently said what Sergeant Wu told her, the scene he remembered.

Last night, the calmest person present at the time, his memory should be correct. The premise is that he did not intend to tell lies and use Sophie's words to kill Li Xiuhe.

That is, Lee Soo Hyuk has never had the courage to face the truth, and he has created an illusion of memory for himself.

In this case, Sophie didn't think much and told him the fact without thinking, and there was no essential difference between letting him die. The key is that Sophie doesn't know these men.

If Nam Sung-sik's suicide was based on the fact that she didn't know the truth, she belonged to someone who didn't know. This time, it was all the people she didn't even know she was investigating.

For these bloody men, sometimes self-deception is a means by which they can't face the truth.

People are so vulnerable in front of the people they care about most. Even if he cheated and lied, it was because his feelings for him were too deep.

    The sensitive and fragile soldiers on the border established an indescribable, touching and untrustworthy friendship in a tense and confrontational environment, and eventually became disillusioned due to the oppression of human nature by an overly powerful ideology. One of the outstanding works of Korean scar films, calmly and restrained in a Rashomon-style shooting case, it tells the pain and helplessness of a nation hidden behind the unsolved case, which is infinitely embarrassing.

    Women are really troublesome. It was this woman who chased after her again and again, forced the two soldiers who already had huge psychological trauma into the corner, and forced two people to die. It was really hateful. I hate this white lotus. In a particularly complex event like a border dispute, does truth matter that much? more important than human life? Isn't peace the most important thing? You're leaving, what's the use of knowing the truth? The most hateful thing is that in the last meeting, he had to say more words and sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, which eventually caused the hero's guilt to collapse and commit suicide. Are you happy now? ! The most annoying thing is this kind of naive little girl who pretends to be idealistic without considering the actual situation and thinks that all she knows is everything. Don't let this kind of stuff get involved in serious business in the future, okay? Technically, cross clipping works well. Song Kang Ho's acting is still good. The rhythm of the narrative is a little slow, but it doesn't hide the flaws. I've always thought I've seen the actor of Second Class Nan, but I can't remember who it is. After watching the movie, I suddenly realized: Lei Jiayin! ——Oh, I get angry when I think of that girl! 6 points.
