lest we forget

"My Fathers" said: "War can force out the worst of people." Probably because war can obliterate human nature and blur the unclear boundary between right and wrong. In order to save the lives of their own compatriots, no one knows whether they deserve to return the enemy's hatred to us again, or morally, so that we are as cruel as they are. What's more frightening is that war coercion links people's cruelty and indifference with strength, and kindness with weakness. There is a detail in the film that when the U.S. forces captured a residential area, they waited for the surrendered soldiers to come out of the building. The Mexican driving the tank tapped a place beside his hand, just like when driving at a traffic light, he would feel a little impatient. When everything about war has become accustomed, I am afraid that thinking about right and wrong has become a superfluous or even a waste of time and energy.
Except for some of the classic Hollywood film decorations, it is indeed a film that tells the story seriously. What I like most is the shaping of the character. Although it is detailed, the personality of each character is complete. Everyone showed two delicate sides that I couldn't describe in detail. I'm afraid I will ruin my favorite point if I don't speak well.
The most memorable thing is that when the first second was so tense that the frowning muscles were stiff, the protagonist was resting at the home of two German girls, and the Norman girl who played the piano sang, and the sound of the music couldn't help making people smile. I don’t know if it’s my feeling or the director’s selection is too good. That song feels like it was made of crystal clear crystals, and it will definitely fall to the ground in the next second. In other words, that kind of beauty was too extravagant at that time and everyone could not afford it. Also, when everyone died and Norman was left alone, he hatched under the tank, hoping to escape. A German soldier found him with a flashlight. Norman raised his hands in horror, and when I couldn't look down in despair, the German soldier's face was hidden under the cluster of flashlight lights. Yoyo smiled slightly, put away the lights and left. Is this alluding to the brilliance of humanity? But no matter what, I can't find any precious things that can be compared to the beauty of this human nature, but it is not as fragile as the previous music. Although it makes me feel like a throat, it also contains hope.
Probably an important purpose of shooting so many World War II films is to warn the terrible war and cherish the beauty of peace. Because of the terrorist attack in Ottawa yesterday, it was inappropriate to borrow a sentence typed on the electronic sign of today's bus: lest we forget.
