War, what have you left me?

I didn't expect the old cowboy to make such an excellent war movie. This letter from Iwo Jima is obviously much better than the banner of the father's generation in the companion chapter. The proportion of hot war scenes is not much, and the old cowboy is more from the perspective of human nature. To describe this war, it is equally true and cruel.

Shimizu, a military policeman, was expelled for disobeying the orders of his superiors and was dispatched to Iwo Jima. He surrendered to the US military to save his life in the war, but was unfortunately killed by the US military. However, he knew that when he was dispatched to Iwo Jima, he had already been killed Sentencing to death is just more honorable for those who could have died. Major General Lin was reluctant to sit still and lie on the battlefield with anti-tank mines in his arms, trying to blow up an armored vehicle and want to repay the country with his death. Failing to do so, he was captured by the US military instead.

I don't want to die, I die, I want to die, but I don't, what irony this is! Think about it, this is actually a kind of helplessness and helplessness. It is the helplessness and helplessness of human beings in the face of war. All efforts, dreams and hopes have become futile, vain and despair in the face of war. The war has ruthlessly destroyed everything, maybe All that is left is the family letter, which represents the only remaining friendship, eternal family affection and unswerving love.

The old cowboy used his two films to tell us that no one is righteous, no one is evil, no one is innocent, and no one is unfortunate. All people are heroes, but they are all victims of war. , is also a loser.

    2008.7.23 The flags of our fathers show the same war, but from the perspective of the Japanese army. Watching these two films in a row, I feel very good. These two war films are very different from some famous war films in the past. eastwood has always maintained his own personality, and his thinking is still very deep.

Letters from Iwo Jima quotes

  • Shimizu: I don't know anything about the enemy. I thought all Americans were cowards. I was taught they were savages.

  • Saigo: [a letter to Saigo's wife] We soldiers dig. We dig all day. This is the hole that we will fight and die in. Am I digging my own grave?
