Back in my hometown, there was a certain little cafe with an amusing sign over the bar.
It read,'Do not be afraid to ask for credit,
for our way of refusing is very polite.'
War is much more than obeying orders and charging into battle
Abandoning one's family, throwing one's head and throwing blood, but they are just a few pieces in the eyes of superiors
1957 movie, the war scene is hot and shocking
Finally, a ballad sung by a German female prisoner of war (played by Kubrick's wife) brought tears to her eyes
French soldiers also sang along with tears
The English lyrics are translated as follows:
Once there was a faithful hussar
Who loved his maiden for a whole year
A whole year and even more
His love won't ever cease
And when he received the message
That his sweetheart dear was dying
war is cruel
Results matter most to politicians and strategists
For soldiers, their concern is family
How many people are truly fearless on the battlefield?
Their simplest wish is to survive, to return to their loved ones when the war is over
