Most of the film reviews I see analyze it from the perspective of five people or only write about the younger brother, but I think Wilhelm is a character that pokes me, so I want to write about him.
The film is narrated from the perspective of the older brother. From the tone of the older brother, it can be heard that he loves his younger brother very much. He will call him "bookworm". Another special rational restraint. At the beginning, he believed that the war was for the honor of the motherland, that the war could train a man, and that he was confident that the war would end before Christmas, so he made the agreement of "see you here at Christmas", to all the people. Man is also to Charlie (if I can live until then and come back here, I can give you a future). Later, when he went to the battlefield, the war went smoothly at the beginning. "The farmland here will become German." My brother was very proud. At this time, my brother thought the war was justified and correct. But when the Soviets were captured, and the superiors instructed the Soviet political commissar to be secretly executed, you can see the entanglement of the older brother (the older brother smiled when he heard the Soviet political commissar said after the interrogation: "Germany will not win this war", but listening to When it came time to execute him, his brother's expression changed. When he was shot, his eyes were gloomy.) Later, when he saw the SS brigade leader kill a Ukrainian civilian Jewish girl, his eyes stagnated for a while. It can be seen from the dialogue that he has been shaken, and began to question the justice of this war, and came to the conclusion: "If we fail, God will not save us, and the Führer will not." However, the superior only said: We need to reshape the three views. After the younger brother got angry and smoked and caused the bombing, the older brother wandered outside the door, knowing what was going on inside but did not stop him. He wanted to let his younger brother understand that war was not a child's play, and wanted to protect him in this way, so that the soldiers would not vent their anger. May be sentenced to death. When he crossed the swamp, he discovered the changes in his younger brother. His eyes were shocked, helpless, afraid, and regretful that he should not have let his younger brother come. I still want to protect my younger brother, and I don't want him to undergo such a transformation. From here, my older brother begins to hate war. Later, the extreme weather conditions and the intensifying war made my brother feel that God did not want Germany to take away all the victory, and began to smell the breath of defeat. At Christmas, when my brother asked Charlie, maybe he thought of that promise, but his younger brother expressed his concerns and made him re-examine the relationship, and also saw the cruelty of war, because war is likely to make love of people cannot stay together. Later, when he knew that everyone would die, he gave Xia Li an obvious hint when the four were reunited, not giving her any hope. In the snow, his younger brother was attacked and fell down. After repelling Maozi, he shot frantically again. This was his dissatisfaction with the war. This ridiculous war was fought. Seeing his brother wake up, he laughed, and he fought for his brothers ever since. However, as Germany retreated, the stupid leaders let them die for a pointless telegraph station without foreign aid, and the brother would lose his brother - the people he fought for, he didn't want to do it, he didn't want to He made a meaningless sacrifice, but the duty and mission of the soldier drove him to a dead end again. He collapsed, but tomorrow he will take his subordinates and his younger brother to die. After being stunned by the artillery fire and waking up, he mistakenly thought that his younger brother and his subordinates were all dead, and he left the battlefield in despair. The elder brother has the stubbornness of the younger brother in his bones, but he is more determined than the younger brother. After seeing the nature of the war (the war did not bring liberation to the local area, but killing and despair, which is unjust, and the Fuhrer also made a joke with them at the cost of their lives), he no longer The motherland fought against the head of state, and his comrades needed his leadership, so he fought for his comrades. When his comrade-in-arms died, he was no longer bound by the war. He chose to flee. At this time, he did not collapse. When he was next to the wooden house, his eyes were full of determination and calmness. To die, my brother will lose his brother - the people he fought for, he didn't want to do it, he didn't want to make meaningless sacrifices, but the duty and mission of a soldier drove him to a dead end again, he broke down, but he will still take his hand tomorrow Go down and die with your brother.

The elder brother is more inclined to pay, pay for the younger brother, and protect him in front of his father, although the younger brother does not appreciate it; pay for his comrades, and perform the task of executing Soviet prisoners of war by himself, for fear that his teammates will be retaliated by the Soviet Union in the future, knowing that he will die. But when he still has to perform a task, he questioned his superiors, and cried in front of his subordinates; although he loved Xia Li, but considered her future, he rejected this feeling. When he heard Xia Li say "I love you", my brother He collapsed again, and the war had left him devastated. What else could such a person give to Charlie? !
In the end, I have to say that my brother is a standard soldier. His boss also said that he has a promising future in the future, that he has a strong ability to work and is efficient, calm and wise, resolute and resolute, and obeys orders unconditionally. Will take people to seize the telegraph station, be thoughtful when ordered to burn civilian houses, be fearless in the face of death, etc., but such a person was destroyed by the war to such a degree that he will have a hard time for the rest of his life. Losing a younger brother, losing a friend, and losing the ability to love someone is so sad.
