To be honest, I have always been interested in war. I once thought about becoming a soldier, but after listening to my grandfather’s words, I gave up the idea of ​​becoming a soldier. My father and my grandfather were both born in the military, and they have such arrogance in doing things, especially my father. In the counterattack against Vietnam in 1979, my dad was on the front line that year, but he only fought for a month. It was not their turn to fight, and there was no real killing and charging on the battlefield. However, this encounter also changed his life - paving the way for his 10-year glorious career as a soldier.

Some people say that a man who has never been a soldier is not a real man. I think this is quite reasonable. Otherwise, why is military training the first thing before entering university? Being a soldier can exercise your body, hone your willpower, overcome your bad habits, be strict with yourself, and indirectly abstain from sex. Of course this is in an ideal state, but in reality it is a different matter of course. I've never been a soldier, I've only heard of it, so I can't say much about it.

I think the fastest way to make a man grow is to send him to the battlefield; in the same way, the fastest way to destroy a man is to send him to the battlefield. The American drama "Pacific War" also reflects this. Of course, what Lao Si's drama has to show in the background is not so simple. From Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, to Hollywood's Schindler's List, which earned both fame and fortune, Old Si seems to be particularly interested in World War II. After filming a film and a series, and each one is of a higher level than the other, the shooting method is no longer limited to a single person's perspective, and it is reflected by different people, different classes and levels. There is a lot of awareness to see through war and history, but it is too broad to grasp. Not only is the plot a bit jumpy and difficult to grasp, it is inevitable that the connection between episodes is not smooth, and then there are specific characters. Fat is fat, thin is thin, and it feels disjointed and incomplete.

I just saw episode 8, so far so good.

    After chasing this drama in 2010, I was captured by the title and music in an instant. When I first watched it, I didn't think there was a good relationship with Brothers, but Snafu became my favorite highlight. That moment was too vague, and the actor's light-hearted performance made me want to stop... In the following years, I watched these two films many times, every time All have a different taste. And I've been waiting for Snafu's performance. Although most of the characters are inconspicuous, because I paid attention to him, I found that several characters can be easily retracted. It wasn't until 2018 when he appeared as the second male lead in "Babylon" that I was so blown away that I remembered his name, Rami Malek. Needless to say, Queen, Golden Globe Actor, I, who have been following this guy for almost ten years, shouted out happily when I made the Oscar list - in this era of looking at faces and looking at body, I am the most happy. The two young actors I admire, one is Rami with big eyes, and the other is Eddie with freckles. These two unremarkable guys are the only two actors born in the 1980s... I'm talking nonsense.

    It tells the story of the fierce fighting in the Pacific Islands region throughout World War II. Sleeping on the hard drive for a long time, Spielberg's film is full of aura, and the war scenes are intense, but the character description is a little bit worse. War is merciless, artillery fire has no eyes, soldiers fight against invaders with flesh and blood, casualties are just commonplace, mental illness is more troubled, and the good and evil of human nature are exposed. Whether the joy and enthusiasm of young soldiers when they entered the war was wiped out in the blood of the war.
