Gunkanjima, also known as Hashima, is an island where coal mines were mined for hundreds of years in Japan. The above is what I only knew when I started watching this movie. I thought it was a story about fighting hard on a warship, but I learned later that it was not. Maybe my thinking was solidified by the national conditions of my country. A story of the darkness and light of humanity in war.
Li Jiangyu, a man who is wise and protects his life and loves his daughter very much, Qixing, a gangster with more limbs than his mind and a violent gangster, Yin Xuezhe, a wily and calm North Korean leader, the film mainly consists of these three people unfold the plot. In the deep mines where the sun never sees the light of day, it is not surprising that death is as numerous as ants, while living is like a walking corpse waiting to die, and the corpse is handled like a trampled cockroach. The brilliance of human nature began to slowly become brighter. The North Korean leader in people's hearts turned out to be the pro-Japanese faction who had been hiding among the people, and the North Korean miner Xiao Tou Tou was a coward who could only beat his own people.
As a result, the audience finally knew that this film did not describe foreign wars, but exposed internal strife. All wars are civil wars, wars of the desires of a group of people of the same class. Do you know why I like watching Korean movies, because I can't see the heroes in the SARFT version of war movies, those teams are all great men, here, I can see the most real and the darkest and the darkest history, true hero.
I haven't actually finished the movie, there are still ten minutes left, but I've seen everything I want to see.
War is ugly, but it's not the ugliest thing in the world. Moral decline and loss of patriotism at all costs are far worse than it is. When a person has no goal to strive for and no belief in desperate protection, unless someone braver and better than him fights for him, he is already dead.
Do you believe in fate? No, I don't believe in it. Only those who admit defeat will believe that the brave are going to change their fate.
