It's not a movie review, just talk about a very touching scene towards the end:
The male protagonist floated with the current holding the tree trunk, and the water gradually drowned his face. When I thought he was about to sink, he suddenly struggled out and swam to the shore.
The shore is full of corpses that have been soaked, but not bloody, and the cherry blossom petals falling on them are particularly poignant. At this time, the plane was at a very low angle, almost close to the water, leaving only a broken shape in the sky, giving people a contradictory feeling of being suffocated and relatively safe.
After climbing ashore, he squatted down and cried, and was quickly attracted by the faint singing. He walked into a forest, and the camera changed from a follow shot to a side shot, from a side shot to a front shot, and finally back to a follow shot, as if a bystander was witnessing his adventure.
The soldiers blended into the dense trees, and the oppressive feeling of these trees was overwhelming. He sat in the crowd and listened quietly, but everything seemed so short-lived, this group of soldiers was about to go to the front line, and the singing was just a final mobilization.
The horizon was placed at the top of the frame, leaving only a gap in the sky, and soldiers were rushing to the front lines.
Finally, he walked towards a thin tree, as if he had returned to the beginning of the film. With an upward shot, the horizon returned to its normal height, as if everything was relieved.
This movie is not as violent and bloody as previous war movies, but tells an uncomplicated story in a peaceful and human way. The audience follows the camera and the protagonist to experience the immersive experience. (Although it feels a bit monotonous in the first half)
