Very interesting movie

Everyone seems to have listed some classic lines of this movie, but unfortunately I forgot it very quickly, and I don't even remember it. But there seems to be one sentence, probably as far as I understand it, that sums up this story. I can't remember the original sentence. Probably it is "I know, sometime, what I am doing is not right. But I am good at it." I

feel that this sentence still brings some depth to this film, and it also brings a little bit of tragedy.
Character determines fate, fate determines thoughts, and no one is a born warmonger.

I know it is wrong to do such a thing, but it is the best thing I can do.
I know that there is no result in falling in love with him/her, but I still fall in love hopelessly.

In this cruel world where "the world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog" and "fate controls you, me and him all the time", this may be a little resistance that humans can have.

In short, this film records a secular, recognized "bad guy", his emotions, his life, and more importantly, his helplessness. So-called "bad guys" are the same, and so are "good guys".

    The credit editing is great. The portrayal of war in the film is basically an objective standpoint. There are not many positive descriptions but it is expressed through fragments. However, the nature of human cannibalism is reflected in the greed for money and power outside of war. The terrible protagonist cannot escape. , This is not just wealth, but a human instinct. When the protagonist finally said "Don't fight with yourself", it already foreshadows the powerless submission of human beings.

    This kind of narrative is a kind of adventure, the so-called success is also Xiao He and failure is also Xiao He. Fortunately, this narrative graces the film.
