A surprise and a regret

The film has a surprise and a regret. The surprise is the handling of the first landmine explosion. In a simple camp before the mission, inexperienced soldiers entered the semi-enclosed space one by one and removed a landmine by themselves. The camera faithfully reproduced the state of every soldier removing landmines after entering, fast and slow, steady and anxious, always hanging heart, knowing that something is going to happen, but not knowing when it will happen, which soldier was the first to encounter misfortune ? Finally, the soldier hesitated and frightened. The camera was frozen in that he was too late to start, fearing that it was him. The officer walked in and urged, fearing that he would die with the officer, but the soldier trembled and said that he must dismantle himself, and the officer walked out. He told the officer next to him to cover his ears, and within a few seconds, the soldier walked out carrying the demolished mine. I admire, feeling the simplicity and humor of the processing, which is surprising and not dangerous. The close shot of Huanxi soldier dangled a figure, another soldier went to tear down his thunder, thinking it was a light trance shot, still watching Huanxi soldier and his happy teammates, the officer seemed to be relieved, and wanted to say his promise. boom! It exploded inside. An accident that was ignored. Because of such a strong contrast for the first time, my body jumped up unconsciously, and maybe also made a startled sound, tears spreading to the midfield.
Regret is a fragment of the twin brothers consciously choosing to die. Since the death of the brother, the other brother has been doing nothing, watching the meaning of life through insects and mice. That day, the girl on the farm walked into the minefield ignorantly. Everyone worked hard to rescue him. He appeared late and was determined. If no one walked past the danger zone to the girl, the camera slowed down and the sunset was exceptionally soft. Only the girl and him took off the last time. The gauze on the doll's legs is tied to the head, making the girl feel how peaceful the world is. The big brother also has a brother who is very important to him. The camera turns to the side, the teammate who cleared the mine just arrived, and the girl was sent out safely. Then there was his back. I knew what he was going to choose before he moved. From then on, the camera gave a lot of close-up shots of teammates riots, captains and officers, and close-ups of his own determined attitude, which was slightly procrastinated like a farewell scene in a TV series. Then he turned around and walked towards the danger zone, the path of no return, the path of poignant beauty and freedom of his own choice. The camera zoomed out, the warm-toned beach, everyone and him on both sides, he walked a few steps, the mushroom cloud rose and turned into gray. Unfortunately, why not give the girl a close-up at this time. I want to see the state of the child who had a quiet relationship with this dying man. Such vivid, dramatic and abnormal events in front of her will inevitably affect her, and her future understanding of the world, war, and life will inevitably be From this. Why not describe the child a little more? Does such a beautiful road to death need to be more affectionate? Can the meaning of the child appear in the film be more serious?
The subject matter of the film is at least brand new to the Chinese. After the war, the German prisoners of war stayed in Denmark to dismantle the mines they planted. The strong turned into the weak, who used to be Nazis by others, now they are swept by others. The small teams in the film are all underage, and it seems that the worldview has not yet been established, and they come to pay for the country. So the war is over, but is it over? The cruelty continues, the pain continues, how many years will it take for the wound to heal? On this point, it is easy to cause people to reflect on war.
This is obviously not the ultimate work, but there are also surprises, not to mention a different theme, which has captured the hearts of many people. Combined with the recent movies, in terms of completeness and touching degree, I personally prefer "This Time Is Right, Then Wrong" directed by Hong Sangsu from South Korea. It's a friendly recommendation!
