Beneath the silver sand, an unsolved feud

Beneath the silver sand are 2,000 German prisoners of unresolved hatred and 1.5 million landmines. The teenagers who still carried the dream of rebuilding Germany and brought home the expectation of craftsmanship, crawled forward on the silver beach, took cuttings to explore, and dismantled 1.5 million fuzes with their hands. From the very beginning of the movie, I knew that the explosion would definitely come, but I didn't know when it would come. This kind of unreasonable surprise is only worrying and painful for the audience, but for the German child soldiers decades ago. , a gasp, a tremble, it may be the first line of life and death, but they are young and almost do not know what the next moment of death is. The first explosion of the movie and the last explosion came so suddenly, with a loud bang, gravel fell, people, crowds, all vanished. The sandy beaches in Denmark are wide and delicate. War is a perpetrator of violence for every nation. Everyone involved in the war is a victim. Some people say that putting down the gun is not the end of the war, it is letting go of hatred. The hatred of war, can't let go, this generation can't let go, and the next generation can't let go. This unforgettable wound will remain in the blood, engraved in the genes, and passed on from generation to generation. As the Danish officer in the movie, who also looks like a Nazi demon, said, the Germans buried the landmines in our country. If the Germans are not allowed to come, should we let our children come? No one can answer, no one can answer. This movie reminds me of the purple sun, the northeastern forest with yellow leaves in the sky. Facing the beautiful Japanese girl, Fu Dalong, who was hoarse in front of the devil, finally sublimated hatred into another emotion, the smoke of gunpowder turned into purple, and the sunset plain. The reflections brought by war always have different echoes. Putting it back into the long river of history, war is an inevitable and irresistible law. It promotes the rapid reconstruction of civilization in a very cruel way and at a very tragic price again and again. . These costs may be dug up and discarded from the gravel by human beings, but rebuying them will not solve the dead problem of hatred.
