War for war or peace? Are soldiers contributing to the war or defending the peace?
The same high-profile Turkish movie "Mountain 2" as "Wolf Warrior 2" tells the story of a strictly trained Turkish special forces infiltrating into Iraq to perform rescue missions. It is also a military theme and a rescue mission, but it has Obvious thematic differences.
A month ago today, I watched "The Mountain 2", and coincidentally, a month later today, I was wandering on the campus full of warm winter sun, the bright but depressing sunshine suddenly reminded me of the terrorist organization in "The Mountain 2" that is suppressing Sunshine, the scene of the "execution" of a female journalist in the mountains. Black hooded headscarves, weeds and stony deserts, kneeling "executors" make people truly feel the "ceremonies" of terrorist organizations. Faced with death, female reporters are not timid, but brave and strong to denounce and criticize terrorism. The dying female reporter suddenly popped into my head, and I started pacing and thinking about the Turkish version of Wolf Warrior 2.

The film begins with the simple language of the red-shirted female reporter, but it is full of flesh and blood, and the cry that shakes the soul. From this, I vaguely feel that this film does not use the camera to show the fierce and heroic war like "Wolf Warrior 2". It is a tough movie, but an intriguing war thinking movie with a soft and artistic flavor.
The plot is still as usual, with special forces coming out to rescue.
However, with the appearance of the special forces, it brought not only the sound of flying cannons, but also thinking about war.
War means death, with the sky as the eye, the terrorist corpses are lying in a row in the long lens, and the female reporters with a little red are surrounded by the center. The photography profoundly and subtly embodies the easy destruction and trampling of life by war. Different from the scene rendered by the explosion of the cannonball in "Wolf Warrior 2", although the monotonous scene is more fleshy, rich and full. Then, it is also different from the open protagonists under the halo of the protagonist of "Wolf Warrior 2". In "Mountain 2", it is not only the terrorists who have fallen, but also the special forces in the comrades. In the arms, in the eyes, in the heart...die. To guide the audience to truly think and understand the war, the spectacular scene is no longer heart-pounding, but throbbing and trembling.
Soldiers are the protagonists of war. As war machines, they reveal a different side. In the film, the female reporter hates the war machine, the soldier, but when the special forces thought about what kind of soldier is a noble soldier, the female reporter changed her attitude. The mission is for war or peace. The female reporter got the answer from the soldiers: **For the people!**
Soldiers are by no means the product of war, and war is by no means a stage for soldiers to perform. They are by no means war machines. The cold-hearted special forces have a weak and benevolent heart deep inside. I really felt the end of life, the cruelty and horror of war, and watched my comrades die in war but could not do anything. They have the deepest and most thorough understanding of war.
Pain stems from war, spread between people and people, regardless of you and me. The humanity that it annihilates will never be just soldiers, but more people in war, those children who are pulling their dead mother's shirt in the corner, those old mothers who watch their sons fall in a pool of blood... .. Just like the women, children, and children who died in the ravines in the film, war can never bring happiness to people, even for soldiers, they yearn to protect the occurrence of war, not war. ** Warriors are not for war, but for peace. **
From the eyes of the soldiers looking at the corpse, what they realized was not how much they longed for the victory of the war, but the eagerness for the arrival of peace. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the war and take pride in dying in battle, but the glory is not that they kill the enemy, but that they have contributed to peace. Block the flying bullets for the people behind you!
The "executed" who knelt down with white cloth, their souls drifted in the icy desert. Looking at the cruelty behind the war through performance, let us truly understand the helplessness and innocence of the people in the war. When you only see the war on the screen every day, you will never imagine what the war will be like when it really happens. You I can't feel the panic and fear of the war. In fact, I can't feel all of this, but I long for everything in the movie not to happen around me!
Grief is always reserved for the living. Watching the passing of their comrades in arms, they hope that the one who falls is themselves. Accepting their own death is often much more calm than accepting the death of a close person! This is a Turkish "Wolf Warrior". It does not trumpet the shock of war scenes and the strength of the national army, but it really warns about the cruelty of human war. Whether it is for soldiers, female journalists, people, or terrorists, war is cruel, ruthlessly depriving you of your love, depriving the object of your love, and depriving you of the release of your love!
"Mountain 2" does not emphasize which country, does not specifically portray any character, but hints and warns the entire human race - war should not happen!
**Don't forget why we are fighting**
