big country small people

Individuals are insignificant to a country. It has always been like this. 5,000 years ago, after a fictional concept of a nation was created, countless people were divided into different nations. Because of the division of regions, different countries and different peoples have arisen, and disputes between regions and races have arisen. Because of the support of the high-ranking country, each and everyone of small human beings fought and sacrificed for the country in the torrent of history. The meaning of human existence has a new interpretation - for the country. Today, the earth has a stable time and space, and there is no war between countries, so should countries pay attention to their subjects? This is not the case.
The background of the film's story is at a time when the relationship between South Korea and North Korea is at a standstill. The four protagonists in the film (2 South Koreans and 2 North Koreans) brave the world to cross the border secretly and hide in a basement to chat and eat. ,drink wine. If not from the national level. That was definitely the happiest moment of their lives. But happiness is often accompanied by misfortune. In fact, this is reflected in their chatting process. Whenever they talk about the country, you turn to me or he turns to you, and instantly the national hatred in their bones emerges again. The individual is really nothing but so small in front of the country.
Due to the appearance of a third-party Swiss neutral investigator brought in by two South Koreans who were involved in the possible shooting of a North Korean officer, the confusing case gradually emerged, and the final result was astounding. I think the result is a victory for the individual over the country, everyone has the right to pursue freedom, just like the North Korean military officer, he never rejects anything from South Korea and enjoys it, but you can't say that he is not patriotic, He's still serious when he talks about his country. I even think that the occurrence of war has always been the desire of some people in the country, and how many lives have been sacrificed in vain. In the primitive society era, wars broke out between tribes because of territorial competition, because there were resources in the territory to ensure that the subjects would not starve to death. Well, in the current era of highly evolved human beings and highly developed technology, the meaning of war is nothing more than satisfying personal grievances.
If the people cannot get their due happiness rights from the highly developed modern society, then what is the meaning of the existence of the state?

    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.
