      Don't take military service as work

      War is cruel, and fighting is killing people. If you don't go through systematic training and don't realize that going up, it means sacrifice, and you may not be able to come down. Since you are a soldier, there is a risk of sacrifice. If you think of being a soldier as a civil servant, you still have to rest in a few days. Is there a fire here? You said that the time is up, and I have to get off work! Do what you don't want to do. But if you don't want him and he doesn't want it, who will...

      no war

      Overall, Israel has an absolute military advantage over Lebanon, and the war is basically one-sided. However, specific to the individual in the war, what is the feeling? The movie gives the viewer a very subjective answer. Even if you have the power to dominate victory and defeat, you will still tremble because of bloodshed and killing, feel depressed because of the stripping of human nature from war, and gradually lose the thinking and cognition of normal people. Therefore, war, for whatever...

      "Lebanon"

      I like this kind of film the most. It has space for people to think about, and it has a relatively unique film language (it’s too difficult to be absolutely unique in film audio and video today, and it was basically exhausted in the 1960s and 1970s).

      The focus of the film from beginning to end has always been derived from the true nature of human nature, which is why the director does not approve of simply classifying it as a war film. Those war films in the past were just flashes,...

      Tank soldiers beside the sunflower

      At the beginning, it starts with a beautiful sunflower, which is completely opposite to this war-themed story. At the end, we finally see the tank, which is still based on the sunflower. conveyed.
      The film space is very small, and we don't get to see the appearance of the tank until the end. The rest of the story is in the tank. The observation mirror on the tank plays a great role in connecting the interior and exterior, as well as observing the situation of people in war, and it has a...

      In the tank indoor drama, why are the protagonists all made into soft eggs and panicked. Instead, it doesn't look like a real person. Shouldn't people have a brave side and a cowardly...

    Evaluation action

    In "Lebanon", director Samuel Maoz used extremely concise and sharp lens language to show the psychological trauma that Israel's war with Lebanon left a young armoured forces in the 1980s, showing the alienation of the war and the destruction of human nature. The film does not put too much space on the political background, but focuses on the "personal growth history" of a soldier. Most of the footage of the film takes place inside a...
