I have seen some of the World War I movies, such as long engagements, war horses, etc., showing the bloody cruelty and meaninglessness of war from different angles. The biggest feature of this film is that all the pictures are real historical materials, repaired and colored by technical means, and restored to the "adventures" or "adventures" of some ordinary people's life with the narratives of the veterans.
The narrative you hear may be full of brisk tones and calm descriptions. It is the real feeling and perspective of the person who is in it. It is the real feeling and perspective of a nail on a huge machine. This is history, and every individual is but insignificant. The dust formed the power to push the giant wheel. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the unreal feeling that countless familiar people fell down and died instantly because they participated in the war in a large group, which makes the individual psychologically feel completely reasonable and have no doubts about what happened. Therefore, they calmly accept what they have. Experienced everything, no complaints. All of this, after they return to society, they find that they protect the country and people they have given everything for. Some pretend that nothing happened, and some really don't know anything. The huge contrast makes them unbalanced. And people, as always, in the face of people who have suffered the greatest consequences, who have suffered great trauma, only to find that it is in fact ridiculous, irreparable, and unaccountable, will keep silent and pretend that it is all over.
From this perspective, those who stopped getting old a long time ago were abandoned a long time ago. And this kind of thing is not uncommon in human society. It seems that every time a major disaster occurs, more and more people will come out. However, what we see is always:
"Meaning is the passport of the mean,
Noble is the epitaph of the noble,
Behold, in that gilded sky,
Floating with crooked reflections of the dead. "
"The best and the worst make history, and the mediocrity breeds the race."
