The protagonist went to the front line at his own expense, and also won the honor of a soldier in the same sense, but he had resigned from the army before he set off. It feels a little absurd. His self-esteem is so strong? In order to prove that he is not a coward, he personally went to the front line to obtain honors that are not officially recognized, in order to return the feathers to his friends piece by piece. When the protagonist fought hard on the strange land of Sudan, trying to dispel his inner fear, after each victory, he told the warriors in Africa: I am still afraid, I will still be afraid. At last, the Warriors say, it won't go away. When everything is over, the protagonist is also complete, he has done what he is most afraid to do, and everything he will face in the future will no longer be difficult.
After watching "Lu Yanshi" and this movie, I realized that in the torrent of the times, it is difficult for one's thinking not to follow the mainstream, and people themselves have a herd mentality. When the material and spirit of the times are going in the same direction, who would be willing to look at their hearts and choose their own choices? Right or wrong, the hero's courage to resign from the military at the cusp of the storm is already admirable.
I want to understand the film further and need to know more about the British colonial war against Sudan in 1884.
