From a big point of view, countries must attack and defend each other, and individuals do everything they can for national honor; from a small point of view, they used to be friends but were forced to turn their backs because of the country’s turmoil.

Maybe they used to be kind people at home, but when they went to the battlefield, they became a killing machine.
I just want to say that sentence in the movie: insisting on justice is true justice.
