A film that asks "what is war?"

When I watched the first half, I didn’t figure out who the protagonist was (not the one in the movie poster), but I only found out that it was Paul in the second half. I watched "Blood Battle at Hacksaw Ridge" last year and "No War on the Western Front" today. They are all anti-war themes. The actor of "West" is not as special as "Blood". He is passionate and ignorant. After going to the battlefield, there is a shortage of food, poor accommodation conditions, cannonballs flying, and his life is like grass. There is no blood splatter effect, so the shock is less powerful. At the end, Paul returned to his hometown for vacation. He was already disheartened by the war, but the old men in his hometown were still talking about the war, and the old teachers were still agitating the students. On the battlefield, the chilling Paul returned to the battlefield. He stretched out his hand to catch a butterfly while hiding in the trenches, but was killed by the enemy. This ending was somewhat absurd and poetic. Although Westerners have always been militants, at least they still have people who can make these anti-war films, these films that expose the ridiculous and cruelty of war, but our war films still always tout the heroes of the battlefield and put the war on The depiction is both great and tragic. Sad!

After the seemingly "fuck" in the first twenty minutes, the scenes of the war are in good condition. The long shots of the war scenes are real and beautiful, and the delicate performance of the friendship of comrades in the war. The second half extends into the anti-war theme. The idiot in the tavern makes the protagonist and the audience together. I feel chilly, the ending is tragic, but I have to admit that it was a classic, but unfortunately the transition editing of the whole film made me straightforward, so it is a small regret in terms of the degree of completion of the whole film.
