they should always be remembered

Not them in a certain war, but all of them who have experienced wars.

I don't know why if the historical records are in black and white, people will not feel much, but if they are restored to color, it will have a huge impact, at least for me.

I originally watched this film with the feeling of knowing a piece of history, but when the war reached its climax, the tension and suffocation deeply hit my heart, and I cried until I kept panting.

Most of them were boys aged 17 and 8 before they went to war. Some were kind fathers of the children, some were shop owners, and the common ground was the common people of the society. Sadly, war has always been the decision of the upper class, and the common people are just Pieces on the chessboard.

Humans are already very small, why do they still kill each other? Remember the line in the film "We are hunted by humans like rabbits". Life on the battlefield is not precious at all.

"You will never understand that your comrade-in-arms is still chatting with you one second, and the next second is shot through the head" "We can no longer feel any emotions, and no emotions can touch me" "However, I My parents are not interested in the war at all." "Why haven't I seen you recently? Did you go to night shift?"

Sadly, when they returned home after the war, they were not treated like heroes, but limited in their scope of employment. No one understood how they felt, and no one could believe all the horrific, horrific, perverted scenes they had gone through on the battlefield. Unless they have seen it with their own eyes.

What kind of feeling does it feel when a person treats everything without emotions? War does not make people's hearts stronger! It makes people numb, and those cracks will exist in the hearts of everyone who has been hurt by the war for a lifetime, no matter how strong and fearless they are in front of others.

I cried out of control several times, maybe I really like to cry too much, but when I think that if I were them, I was their relatives and lovers in their hometown waiting for them, I couldn't calm down.

Thanks to the director of this film, more people can really understand what "cruel and ruthless" looks like. Since childhood, we will use ruthless expressions to describe war, and today, I really see what it looks like.

    The zeal of patriotism and the self-confidence of the British rule of the world have turned into clouds in the trenches of Flanders. Compared with World War II, the shock of World War I to society and the country was more profound. Young soldiers went from passionate to numb and then again. To the hesitation after retiring, the complete disappearance of the Victorian ethos of romanticizing war and archaic weathering has been announced.

    Unexpectedly, Peter Jackson actually made such a Compilation Film! Going back to the image itself, I firmly believe in the witness function of the camera to history, and use the film to hold the sacrifice for the deceased. On the one hand, movies are used to show people's madness and death in wars, and on the other hand, movies are used to launch resistance, so that the unknown dead in history can live forever in the film.

They Shall Not Grow Old quotes

  • Soldier: [waving at camera] Hi, mum.

  • Soldier: You don't look, you see. You don't hear, you listen. You taste the top of your mouth. Your nose is filled with fumes and death. But the veneer of civilization has dropped away.
