After chasing, turbulence and waterfalls, the exhausted soldier finally touched a piece of driftwood and drifted down the water. The picture became calm, the sky gradually brightened, and there were even birds chirping. With the wind blowing, the white petals fell on the river, and the young soldier held up a petal like a cherry blossom in disbelief.
This is my favorite scene when I watch the trailer. At this moment, it seems that nothing exists, war does not exist, that urgent task that requires life to complete does not exist, the young man who talked about several fruit trees behind his mother’s house did not die, and he can get back from here by climbing ashore. Family.
However, what I didn't expect was that the next scene was the barricades across the river, the swollen corpses, and the petals of cherry blossoms, all being blocked here.
The silence of the last second and the ugliness of reality at this moment form a cruel beauty.
Sakura seems to be related to death in many stories. There are bones buried under the cherry tree, "when the stone rot, you'll end up with more trees than before". The felled cherry tree can grow again.
I saw some comments that there are too many bugs in the movie. But if it is immersive, the various behaviors of the characters in the movie can't be more reasonable. In non-daily situations, asking a person to do things out of reason is itself an unreasonable request. From another perspective, if everyone is sensible, there will never be war.
Therefore, while I lament that Blake lost his life to save an enemy pilot, I understand his subconscious kindness in the face of a dying man; I understand that Schofield was stunned when he faced the church in the flames. The place of sacred or happy gathering is now a burning ruin, which is powerful enough in itself; I understand that Schofield's gentleness and relaxation when facing a baby, even took out all his food, and completely forgot that he was still responsible. mission......
I have always believed that the so-called irrationality is what makes a person the most.
Sitting in the cinema, I sometimes feel that everything is nothing or short-lived. Schofield sat on the grass, leaning against a bare tree, and took out a photo of his relatives from his arms, with the words "come back to us" written on the back. What is the meaning of war to him? I can't see the slightest joy in completing the task, only sadness and longing. I am also sad.
In fact, even if everything is false, I have always believed that my emotions at the moment are real.
Even if the war is over, the so-called dead souls rest in peace, and the cherry blossom trees grow again, those sorrows are still real and difficult to dissipate.
