Soldiers mainly discuss life, monologue in their free time, and fight in the rest

I want to pour cold water.

It feels like it was filmed by Wong Kar-wai in the United States, with neurotic lines, neurotic facial movements, and big-name movie stars. The plots that should not have appeared one after another. The soldier died for the sake of death, he left for the sake of leaving, and the wife cheated for the sake of cheating. It's like a white-collar team going to a small restaurant in the middle of the night and ordering a bowl of Laotan sauerkraut instant noodles. Soldiers start with exaggerated tension and hustle, brutality and madness in the killing process, and end up either dead or redeemed. Even the cold-blooded officer had to be alone and then cry indifferently. The Japanese handling was a failure, not as good as the German officer among the pianists, nor as the Iwo Jima letter. Just like animals, they resisted resolutely at first. I thought it would be very powerful for these people to let the American soldiers fight and cry, but when the American soldiers rushed over, they were as timid as a mouse, hugging their heads and running away, or they were scared to cry. Now, either meditate somewhere and wait for death, or just get scared and go crazy. Is this a soldier? Please have a good fight, okay? It doesn't feel like a war movie, wearing the coat of a war movie, expressing certain feelings of the directors and screenwriters, for life? to death? Not a war after all. Because every soldier in this film, including the Japanese, has not fought well, is confused, is crazy, is growing up, and expresses his feelings towards life, life, old age, sickness and death, and even the universe. The real Guadalcanal battle American soldiers and Japanese soldiers fought very hard on this island. The logistics supply of the United States is definitely not as simple as saying that there is no water and food for the time being. Exchange, discuss life. It feels like the entire philosophy department in the United States has been thrown on this island.
