I also saw this thin red line on CCTV6, and unconsciously pulled it into the main theme movie category. However, I watched it with relish, and I couldn't sleep for a long time after the movie was over.
When I wake up and think about it, China's main theme always turns the enemy into a beast, and the enemy and me in a real war are all people.
I remember the black and white movies I watched when I was a child. The Japanese devils must be surrounded and raped by the flood of people. The puppet army ran for their lives in large strides. , the righteous and awe-inspiring protagonist must hold up the three-eight box calmly. One shot couldn't kill him, but the Japanese officer wanted to rush over, but with another shot, he twisted his body and fell to the ground with regret.
Such characters, Moruo said were just props, and even their cruelty sometimes felt pale.
Fortunately, there are a lot fewer such high-level movies these days, reflecting the human nature of war. I have always admired Zi Sun directed by Feng Xiaoning.
The thin red line in the film not only depicts a group of American soldiers fighting bloody Guadalcanal, but also depicts the humanity of the Japanese in the face of inevitable defeat.
When the troops rushed to the hilltop camp to annihilate the enemy, there were wounded soldiers lying on their beds groaning, soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground chanting Buddha, and recruits hugging their dead comrades and crying... The
prisoners gathered together, their bodies trembling , or someone was at a loss for what to do with the death in front of them, and suddenly lost their minds and pestered American soldiers like crazy. What I see are people who also have seven emotions and six desires, people who have friendship and family, and ordinary people who are ruthlessly crushed by the war machine.
A Japanese army day who was threatened with a caesarean kept saying something to the US military sitting next to him: "Jun も... jun も" I didn't hear what else he said next. You too...you too" impressed.
Me too.
The same to you.
We are just ordinary people.
