A group of innocent and innocent high school students who were still studying in middle school, were encouraged by the war fanatic teacher to join the army and were sent to the western front to fight the French army. They experienced erecting barbed wire under artillery fire; repeatedly charging and fighting back and forth with the French army under artillery fire; seeing their classmates wounded and killed or even insane; freezing and starving in the cold and humid trenches, turning from recruits to veterans. As soon as the war dragged on, they began to question what was going on in this war. When they were in the trenches during the truce, they saw the cherry blossoms in bloom, they remembered the beautiful scenery of their hometown, remembered the sweetness of reuniting with their relatives, discussed with the veterans, and asked if there was a battle between the mountains of Germany and the plains of France? He even suggested that if there is a struggle between countries, let the king and the ministers fight, and whichever wins will be regarded as which country wins. The film has repeatedly appeared in the thrilling scenes of German and French soldiers charging back and forth under the thunderous artillery fire. It is breathtaking, and one cannot help asking: "What is this war for?" The film focuses on shaping a student named "Paul". . What a good young man this is. His appearance and character can be said to be loved by everyone; his life in the world is praised no matter what age and country. Without this war, how much benefit would he bring to his family and place? It was him who joined the army at the beginning of the teacher's encouragement. Later, when he went home to visit his alma mater after being injured, he saw that the teacher was still frantically encouraging the students to go to the front to "deliver their lives for the country". He was disgusted; he was unwilling to respond. The teacher and the pupils asked to "talk about war", but later they had to say "War is to fight each other, that is, not to be beaten to death." Finally, when Germany and France were in a stalemate in their trenches separated by hundreds of meters, (the latter part of the First World War, there was such a period of stalemate between the two sides, so it was called "there was no war on the Western Front"), he stretched out his body into the trenches, In order to catch a beautiful butterfly, (there are many butterfly specimens in the house), he was shot and killed by French snipers. At this time, the film is very considerate of the viewer's mood. Only one hand of Paul is shown on the screen, not his body after being shot. And everyone in the audience sighed: "What is this war for?" At the end of the film, I vaguely saw these middle school students walking in the queue, and the few who had been killed turned back and smiled at you. This picture looked sad, and I couldn't help but sigh again: "What is this war for?"
