Probably the best of 2019.
During World War II, Germany planted 1.5 million landmines on the seagrass line in Denmark. Germany was defeated. More than 2,000 prisoners of war were required to perform demining tasks. They used their bodies and their lives to crawl forward inch by inch on the long coastline to clear the landmines. , most of them, did not return to the Germany where they were born, a group of teenagers who would call their mothers after being bombed, and need to bear the consequences of those who started the war.
The original sin of the war, whether it is the defeated Germany or the tragically victorious Denmark, in addition to the beach covered with barbed wire, there is also the pain that the survivors of the war can never erase. The movie is in line with the Nordic style, with very limited lines, bleak background music, and the explosion of mines on the empty beach seems silent, and the corpses disappear like fireworks.
How cruel the war is, how glorious is human nature. The twin brother went straight to the beach full of mines to rescue the little girl, and finally went to the minefield as if he was freed and released. The relationship between the sergeant and the boy improved little by little. On the day of the beach holiday, everyone was smiling, and finally the four remaining survivors were rescued and sent out of the country. Too many details were touching, and five stars strongly recommended.
