This is a true record and narrated by veterans who have experienced World War I. With the help of new technology to re-color and add sound effects, it tells the experiences and feelings of those veterans. The real situation is re-presented and the experiencer's narration is given. The audience has a strong sense of resonance.
At the beginning, it was told with a small lens, giving people the feeling of watching the story. With the further development of the story, the lens slowly zoomed in and zoomed in. When the whole picture covered the screen, the audience had completely entered the history of that time. The environment seems to have become a part of history!
Witnesses told their experiences. After the Sarajevo incident, people at that time did not know what happened and how they were related, and how they should respond? With the national propaganda and the influence of mainstream public opinion at that time, more and more adult men and a considerable number of minors have joined the ranks of the army, and many underage boys who even need their parents to take care of their family life have joined. In the trend of "going to be a soldier", he entered the military camp in a confused way.
After a simple recruit training, these soldiers who were not even equipped with clothes and equipment were required to be sent to the battlefield. On the way to the battlefield, everyone generally talked and laughed, and looked at the distance excitedly, that they were not very clear. The future, talking and chatting with his comrades. After arriving at the battlefield, they were shocked by the situation in front of them. The enemy's artillery shells exploded around, and they dug trenches in the dark. Life was extremely difficult, and the wet and muddy battlefield environment made people desperate. One-third of the people are on alert, one-third of the people dig trenches, and one-third of people sleep. They dig a relatively high place in the trenches full of stagnant water and sleep in their clothes. The only people who coexist are mice that eat leftovers and dead flesh. The road from the trench to the rear is also a dirt road similar to a swamp. There are dead people and horses, and the stench is full of stench. If you accidentally slip into it, no one will save you. From time to time, you will endure the enemy's artillery and poisonous gas attacks. The soldiers who knew each other were still talking and chatting one moment ago, and the next moment, they may lose their vitality. The most terrible thing is that the soldiers around are used to this kind of life. It's terrifying that a recruit who starts out with a new sense of everything becomes a numb and expressionless, thoughtless animal.
After defeating the enemy and capturing the enemy's soldiers, they realized that the other side was also of the same age as them, ordinary people with expressionless and numb faces, when the two sides no longer shot and killed each other through the trenches, when After they really met face to face, they didn't seem to have much hatred with the captives. They would joke with the captives and give them something to eat and drink; the captives would take the initiative to help them carry the wounded. They were all former workers, peasants, and small traders. The fear in the eyes of the prisoners was so similar to that of the prisoners at the beginning. A strange phenomenon happened. It seemed that everyone no longer hated the people in the trenches. Both sides were tired of war. , and even reflect on why he was involved.
The war was over, and the soldiers who once left their hometowns and rushed to the battlefield on an impulse were disarmed and returned home after returning home. After returning to their hometown, no one placed them, and no one really had the ability to care about them. These people who survived on the battlefield were ignored like this. Only people with the same experience could join the group to warm up. They had such an inexplicable beginning and an inexplicable end. No one knew exactly what they were for after the life and death they had experienced. The rest was only physical pain and mental trauma, leaving them more numbness and numbness. confused.
May the war always happen in the past!
