From just blinking in horror to skillfully walking among all kinds of people.
Dreaming of getting on the greatest fighter jet and joining the great war.
No matter who is the enemy or who is the comrade-in-arms, he just pursues the dream of war simply and persistently.
When he let the fighter model that fell before him glide gracefully in the sky, he met another boy who also had the same dream. Too bad they were on different sides of the iron fence.
But they can still look at each other and smile, because they have the same simple dream of flying.
In the eyes of the young man, the war is chaotic. He can't tell the reason for the war, nor does he know which side of the war he is on. He simply uses all means to obtain the things he needs to sustain his life. This is the first instinct of man. Like he said - we can do everything for potatoes.
The war has shown too many cruel things in front of the teenagers. Not only the cruelty of the enemy, but also the betrayal of the partner. Too many people died in this turmoil.
And another Japanese teenager, when the Japanese invaders came to an end, finally had the opportunity to get on the fighter plane of his dreams, but finally realized the horror of war and the huge distance between dream and reality.
The war finally ended in defeat. The two teenagers can still ignore their own situation and comfort each other. They can share a mango and smile on the ruins. However, in the eyes of most adults, this is absurd. War is cruel, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
The boy finally saw his parents whose faces he could not remember for a long time, and was able to close his already red, swollen and tired eyes in the long-lost and warm arms.
The scene of the two teenagers sitting together is the most touching. No matter how cruel the nation is, there is still the softest and most emotional kindness of friendship. Every war movie has this kind of picture as its highlight, right?
