The evil of war has ended, but a new era is not coming so soon. Flowers, applause, and sailors kissed by girls mostly only exist in film and television works. Media organizations spare no effort to spread hope to comfort those lost in the war. Loved ones, homeless people, people with scars in their hearts.
At that moment, a new civilization has quietly stood on the stage of history, but the short-term annihilation of people's hearts is the purgatory in the eyes of the world. The flames of revenge are still burning among the people of all countries, while repairing the homeland and rebuilding civilization. This contradiction between good and evil in human nature, this contradiction between old hatred and new life, is manifested in the mind of the colonel in "Minefield".
Those children, like his own children, had innocent and simple faces. They should have lived carefree on the campus, frolicking under the gentle palm of their mother. But just because they are from Germany, from a country that started a war, they deserve to be punished by God, they should clean up the thousands of landmines buried in the coastline with their bare hands, and they should die humbly in another country like ants.
After the war, the Germans became beasts to be slaughtered by everyone, and people took it for granted that they should bear the evil planted by their fathers, even though they were just a bunch of innocent people. After World War II, women and children were still tortured and killed, houses were still burned, and German soldiers became prisoners and were imprisoned in concentration camps in large numbers. Life and death were completely in the hands of others.
The colonel in the film has the right to control the lives of others, and also has the pleasure of avenging the enemy. At first, he treated the group of German teenagers like wild dogs, whipping them with horsewhips and kicking them, and like everyone else, he didn't care about the lives of these prisoners of war.
But when he got along with the group of teenagers day and night, he began to realize that he was not facing a symbol or an enemy, but a group of living people who had emotions, a hometown, and hope to return to his mother. That hope is so vague. When he saw this group of children were blown beyond recognition by landmines and cried to the death, and the surprised look in the eyes of these children after seeing the food, he realized that they would also feel pain, fear, and joy, as human beings should have. of all emotions and emotions.
At that moment, the wall of ruthlessness in the soldier's heart collapsed, and he began to breed a kind of warmth, even though that warmth was irrational. He began to suffer because of his enemy's pain, and to rejoice at his enemy's joy, and he came alive as a real man, not just a war machine.
When he began to pity, sympathize and help these young people return to their homeland, it seemed that he was redeeming others, but in fact he was redeeming himself. Human beings will eventually leave the past behind, and only then can they fully move towards a new life and see the light at the end of the darkness. horizon. In the end, with the help of the colonel, the young man ran towards his homeland. He turned his head and looked at the land where the line of life and death lies. For a moment, the young man could no longer distinguish between his homeland and his homeland. The war has destroyed everything, and the only thing that still exists is a line in the human heart, a line that divides good and evil.
