I have always been tired of war films, especially war films with a strong ethical orientation. Whether it is the red classics of the previous era or the American blockbusters armed with Hollywood film and television special effects. Cut away those gorgeous reasons, the essence of everything is just a struggle, a struggle for their own existence.
I don't believe in God, everyone's destiny has its own reasons for its existence. Those who pursue their own purposes in the name of God are hypocritical and filthy. I watched half of the whole film without much respect for Joan of Arc, but felt that she was just an ordinary woman with deep beliefs and extreme neuroticism.
I don't believe in miracles, just a few shouts can defeat the enemy that has been pressing on the head for a hundred years? "Soldiers, the great event of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must not be ignored." The Western way of fighting has always been this simple - shouting, running and then dripping blood. In China, there is no shadow of those who died early.
The French have a French god, and the English have an English god. My sister was killed by the British and then QJ, who can guarantee that the French will be noble, kind, and extremely holy? The French have brothers and sisters, as do the British. Britain and France were enemies hundreds of years ago, and hundreds of years later they will not join forces to deal with Germany. The way is the same, except that the sword is replaced by a cannon, and the armor is replaced by a tank.
Struggle and struggle, but even so, it's still a struggle to put on the most beautiful clothes. The original clothes were worn out and no longer attractive, so I changed them. Yesterday was God, today is Liberal Democracy, God knows what tomorrow will be?
Once the school played "On the Taihang Mountains", the film rendered how the Eighth Route Army was brave and how the little devil was beaten down. The audience was surging with enthusiasm, applause, and rhetoric. I watched as I fell asleep. After reading the arrangement, I wrote three questions:
Do Japanese people have no wives and children?
Those Japanese soldiers are willing to leave their hometown to fight on the battlefield?
Whose fault is it?
Reminds me of what Chinese movie fans said when they asked Nakaizumi if he had a redemption mentality: "I'm just an actor, and I think war is stupid."
