This is a film about human nature, which makes people feel chills on their backs. Never underestimate the abilities of anyone, even a dying soldier or a group of seemingly helpless women. The reversal of the story may be instantaneous. There is neither absolute good nor absolute evil. Sometimes good intentions lead to evil endings.
Thinking about people's emotions is really easy to be swayed by the environment, especially young children. When the soldiers first arrived, some children were afraid, some hated them, but one day later, when the soldiers were decided to stay, all the children went to show their goodwill to the soldiers. The performance of Alicia, who is between the age of a child and an adult, is almost a 180-degree reversal. When the soldier lost a leg and his emotions started to get out of control, everyone's emotions began to change again. In a group, it is very difficult to maintain the independence of emotion and thinking, which reminds me of "The Crowd".
The soldiers are also very interesting. After ensuring the safety of their lives, they began to get restless, flirting left and right, thinking about showing their charm everywhere. He probably couldn't predict the ending of the story. It's okay to do this kind of thing when it's peaceful. It's okay to do it one by one separately at a time. You have to choose the wrong person at the wrong time, at the wrong place. To do it, he can only lament that he underestimated a woman's jealousy and desire for revenge, or overestimated his own charm. Not all olive branches need to be grafted. Of course, when the whole atmosphere is full of charm, and the whole atmosphere makes you overestimate yourself, human judgment will disappear.
