So watch it a second time today.
The skipped section was Zhentai's brave performance on the battlefield. The officer took his gun and tied the Tai Chi flag to it to show his glory. He was surprised and a little flattered. Then he was interviewed, which was even more jerky and concealed. The original purpose is to contribute to the country. Get drunk and forget your shape. In Zhenshi's questioning, he was silent and silently restored to the original Zhentai.
Of course, it will never be restored. When Yongwan died because Zhentai was about to capture the North Korean commander, when he killed Yongshuo by himself, when he was on the battlefield and signaled his subordinates to attack, the pure and simple shoemaker Zhenzhen Tai, will no longer restore.
The purpose of his murder and meritorious service was actually that simple: to get the medal and let his brother go home.
In his eyes, there is no one else, or even enemy or me—but Zhenshi can’t forget others—mother, Yingxiu, Yongman’s son, Yongshuo...Even if Zhenshi tried to save his life, he had killed people, but He refused to change. So he hated his brother and could not accept this massacre in the name of love.
It is difficult to say whether the war destroyed Zhentai or achieved Zhentai, but undoubtedly, for Zhentai, it is not like those who volunteered to join the army, with the lofty purpose of defending the home and the country-and in such a war Here, how to judge the sublime? ——So he has always been able to turn his gun back and kill both the South Korean army and the North Korean army, both of which he has served. His purpose is only one-to protect his brother.
Those who are alive are actually just symbols of war. Death is too easy, too sudden and unpredictable, so it treats other people's lives as a child's play. But these fights on the battlefield are the most terrifying? Those who were shot dead for participating in Communist Party activities knelt on the edge of the pit. The gunfire rang and fell into the pit. In the end, Yingxiu was also thrown in. There were also villagers who were slaughtered. It was difficult to determine which side of the war was the righteous one. Yes, I believe that what is described in it has actually happened. In fact, that kind of scene has happened in China. In "White Deer Plain", Bai Ling was buried alive by his comrades-in-arms, and the reason was to save bullets. For Zhentai, he had to be disillusioned and crazy, so he overthrew the past and moved towards the complete opposite.
For Zhentai, the saddest thing is still not being understood by Zhenshi? In the end, even if he died, he finally had no regrets. It was because he finally knew that what he did was worth it—just how terrible it was. I wonder if those who died under his hands were the same as Zhentai. Of thought and destiny.
The scene of the war was terrifying, and I resisted watching it. I don't know if this is progress. Back then, because I first saw the war scenes of "Saving Private Ryan" in film reviews, it was very bloody, so I refused to watch it. It always takes courage to face reality, even if it is a reality far away from us. From peace to war, it is not far away. Just like in the film, it was just a moment. The moment before, it was the gathering of family members. The beautiful things seem to have just begun, and there is the possibility of unlimited extension, but they stopped abruptly because of the war. Zhentai, who once had a bright smile on his face, became a corpse riddled with holes on the battlefield, and then became a dead bone. The way he died reminded me of the burial that Zhang Xiaofeng described, but it was full of sorrow.
"I also want to go home." Zhentai said, "but if only one of us can go back alive, I hope that person is you."
"You promised too much..." Zhenshi said.
"How can I die at such a time?" Yingxiu said.
Ah, there is also a mother who can't speak, looking in such anxious and anxious manner, but can't make a sound, holding her hand, she can only let go.
The big sorrow of the little man. What's the point of getting that medal even if you work hard?
The people who have been behind the scenes are the creators of wars, and those who really dominate these lives and deaths. The country and the country, this is a big cover, the truth is broken up layer by layer, but it is still people.
