The soundtrack at the beginning had me captivated. A movie without a woman, a movie full of dust and sweat, can use such a soulful and sad soundtrack. A film made by a Japanese director, in the process of watching it, always makes people think that it was made by European and American countries, which shows how people jumped out of their own culture to reflect. War is cruel and beautiful. War is the singularity of human civilization. All beliefs, cultures and concepts erupt in it. Look at these people from countries with completely different cultures, confused because of love, and attracted to each other because of understanding. , really very beautiful.

According to the theory of the Tower of Babel, creating language for human beings is a kind of punishment, but even so, it cannot eliminate human nature and the mutual sympathy between human natures. The confrontation between the enemy and the enemy in war makes people restrained, but this restraint makes beauty. Created the shocking kiss between David Bowie and Sakamoto Ryuichi. At that moment, he was so decisive, dazzling and dizzying.

I don't think it's a film about same-sex love, it's the shock of what happens as human beings when different civilizations collide in extreme situations like war. Lawrence concluded by saying that no one is right. Yes, people keep searching, and even try to accept people who are completely different from themselves, but they can't get the real "right". War is absurd, but it can't be avoided. The impulse may be love, but I don't know how it originated. what. The chaos between people can quietly change a person. The death of Celliers planted a seed in Yonoi's heart, which is something only those who survive can know. What a happy Christmas in that short war, drinking too much rice wine, funny Santa Claus, tacitly lighting a cigarette, who doesn't want to be drunk all the time.
