When the young soldier smiles curiously and faces the camera, the real sense of the documentary strikes you. In the movie, the actors face the camera and make people act out. The so-called third wall cannot be broken because we know that it is fake and they are acting. Therefore, no matter how many TV dramas about war we have watched, we can only get close to the war infinitely, and there are still many irresponsible war films to disrupt the situation. The First World War was the first large-scale use of hot weapons in modern history. Therefore, it is impossible for those who have not participated in the war to imagine the cruelty of the war, and even relatives cannot fully understand it. The war separated the veterans from others. When we watched this documentary made up of pictures and photos taken on a 100-year-old film restored with modern technology, what we hear is based on the experience and feelings of the memories of the people who witnessed World War I, and the rumbling on the front line. With the endless sound of guns and guns, we can only get a glimpse of the war when we see the real look of the battlefield. People who have experienced the war will never really understand what they have experienced, and what is left of them after the war. But when someone of them said that they hoped that there would never be a war again, we knew it was true.
