    The war has pushed human life to the limit, and human nature has exposed its pure instinct. Out of the primitive desire to survive, human behavior is almost no different from animals, and the remaining human nature is like a hairspring, looming. Everything is distorted in an inhuman state, and the desire to see "people who live a normal life" at this time is the desire to return to humanity. War not only destroys life, but what is especially terrifying is that it drags human nature into the...

    Change shoes, monkey meat? Hunger makes people ghosts. This film only sees the fall and sinking after failure. I didn't reflect on why it ended like this, and I introspected myself, making the film's perspective too...

    As a war movie, instead of focusing on the macro war, it focuses on the personal encounters in the war. Only through one's own pain can one truly feel the human and human disaster brought about by the...

    Although it was shot in the 1960s with black-and-white images, it now seems that the performances of the filming and editing scenes are top-notch. The side description of the war is very successful, and the performance of human nature under the devastation of the war is truly tragic and...

    hopeless struggle

    I have always felt that for a nation or country, regarding the pain it has inflicted on other nations or passively endured, only its own reflection is truly powerful and more valuable, because only they can deeply appreciate that history, cultural and national characteristics. Regarding the crimes...

    living hell

    The Japanese soldiers in the film are all hungry and skinny, and they have no good food supplies and medical care. The so-called hospital is nothing but a place where death is prolonged. The male protagonist had tuberculosis, and no one dared to ask for it. The order he received turned out to be...
