Those who survived to tell their stories, although they can't represent all the soldiers, they at least represent those young people who went to the battlefield with a passion like them. They are eager to do something for the motherland, and they are not afraid of death. For those moments, it was just a boy's adventure for them. But, slowly, as the war progressed, their excited eyes began to be filled with confusion, then turned into fear, and in the end, most of them were rotten, and most of them were at a loss.
In the film, follow the narrator and listen to the life from joining the army to the end of the war, even though their voices are so calm, as if they were telling stories handed down from the older generation, there are often "he laughs" ” subtitles, but in the picture, the soldiers’ gradually solidified smiles, their bodies riddled with holes, the unstoppable gunshots, and the reciprocating switching between smiling faces and carrion, the two are combined, a real Makes the scalp tingling and terrifying.
This is a war documentary, without literary rendering, for the first time, I truly understand the thoughts of ordinary soldiers in war and the cruelty of war. In the footage, the way German prisoners are laughing and being treated with courtesy in the British soldiers’ barracks is unbelievable. After all, when you think of prisoners, you will think of World War II and Japan. It would be great if they were as humanitarian as in the film.
I love the song at the end of the video
Madamoiselle from Armentieres, parlez vouas
